4 - 8 pm
Arty encounters on Waterloo Street! Indulge in a weekend of artistic
activity on 8 and 9 June from 4 to 8pm at Waterloo Arts Alive!, an event of
the Singapore Arts Festival 2002. Home to a diverse group of arts companies
such as ACTION Theatre, Chinese Calligraphy Society of Singapore, Dance
Ensemble Singapore, Stamford Arts Centre, Sculpture Square and Young
Musicians' Society, Waterloo Street will be bursting with performances,
exhibitions and hands-on workshops. If that's not enough, the irrepressible
fun will be spilling out onto the street with the art and craft stalls,
food carts and roving buskers doing anything and everything. Watch out for
the Snuffpuppets from Australia as they crash, bang and boom their way
along Waterloo Street in a larger-than-life procession! For early birds,
there're even some great festival freebies like fans, tote bags, lollipops
and balloons for the kids! With something for everyone, it's a place for
the whole family to experience the arts up close. So come, immerse yourself
in a weekend adventure of the arts!

A performative panel event to promote and raise funds for the book
series Forum on Contemporary Art & Society.
focas, Forum on Contemporary Art and Society, is a biannual
publication that engages issues of contemporary art, politics and
social change--primarily but not exclusively--in Singapore and
Southeast Asia. focas is the only publication in Singapore--perhaps
in the region--that both documents and generates interdisciplinary,
critical exchange across a diverse range of perspectives from
artists, academics, critics, curators, cultural workers, state, NGO
and civil society actors. focas contains finger-on-the pulse
analysis, debate and commentary of relevance to Asian Studies,
Cultural Studies, and Interdisciplinary Arts Research.
Programme

Susie Lingham, Lucy Davis, Ivan Heng et al read Susie Lingham's
Navel "The Mark of the Vampire" from focas No 2
Alfian Sa'at reads "A Racist Apology", his most recent strategic
provocation, the ramifications of which will be further discussed in
focas No 4.
Lucy Davis interviews Ivan Heng and possibly invited Animals about
"our animals ourselves". (A forthcoming issue of focas will be on the
theme of Animals as Others)
The panel will be followed by Questions, Discussion and Feedback .
