NAFA Diploma in Fine Art
In the Fine Art programme, emphasis has always
been placed to nurture the artist within our students: one who is creative but
possesses self-discipline; imaginative but possesses rigour in practice;
critical but driven; a visionary who possesses the ability to sustain the
vision. Wee Hwee has shown herself to achieve these qualities and much more.

SINGAPORE, 9 Oct 2006
Appetites for Litter: The 8th Emerging Artists Show 2006 examines the concept of
‘garbage’ in the context of contemporary art. This exhibition will be held in
Plastique Kinetic Worms, Singapore, during 9 – 25 Nov 2006.
The exhibition showcases 4 young Singapore artists who have been making critical
impressions with their art practice. Curated by artist Michael Lee Hong Hwee,
who is noted for his multidisciplinary exploration of issues in desire and
space, the exhibition will explore a consortium of specific issues ranging from
institutional critique to environmentalism, everyday violence, defense
mechanism, nature in the urban context, human imagination and gothic
sensibilities. These issues will be examined through paintings, installation,
video, books and objects.
Discover the peculiar fascination with trash and critical transformation of
rubbish into Shubigi Rao’s pseudo-archeology of garbage; Jane Porter’s animation
and installation starring rubbish in a leading role; Yeoh Wee Hwee’s horrifying
yet beautiful sculptures and objects of made from cellulose tape; and Alexis
Hy’s manga junkyard.
In-conjunction with the exhibition is a talk and a publication. The curator’s
and artists’ talk will offer insights into the genesis of the exhibition, the
curatorial process and the artists’ creative practices, while limited editions
of a companion book will both document the exhibition and address issues related
to the exhibition theme in-depth.
As a gesture of appreciation towards Mr Albert CY Teo, who supports and
volunteers in Patient Care Centre, part of artwork sales from the exhibition
will be proceeded to the organisation.
