The exhibition Urban Artists 2002 from 18 Oct to 03 Nov 2002 at the
ARTrium@M... features diverse views, approaches and media in defining and
imagining the contemporary city. The pleasures & provocations of urban
living are explored in the works of 16 artists resident in Singapore.
Despite widely divergent processes and materials, these artists share
certain affinities in the way they address architectural particularities
and the rich and complex matrix of human relations in the city.
Many of the artists are also grounded in graphic art and advertising, a
field in which photography influenced techniques and the dynamics of mass
media and mass culture strongly feature. A number of artists have already
attracted much critical attention for their practice, receiving
commendations and awards for their works. Through some 50 works, they
address how our rapidly transforming urban environment has stirred and
shaped our consciousness.
