10:10 is the exhibition title of the Artists Exchange 2003, which is co-organised by The Substation Ltd and Plastique Kinetic Worms, Singapore. “10:10” could refer to a score of ten on both sides of two competitors or the time as read on a digital clock or watch. Here, it essentially points to the interaction between the ten artists representing each country for this exchange project.
Initiated by the University of Western Sydney, Australia, the project seeks to foster an active relationship among the culturally diverse artists, as well as to explore new possibilities of art forms resulting from the collaboration. It is hoped that such an exchange will not only help establish good ties with foreign artists, but also provide the local young artists an opportunity to interact among themselves and gain exposure internationally.
The first phase of the programme takes place in January 2003. It consists of hosting the Australian artists (who call themselves LOOSE TOOTH) here in Singapore, as they get involved in the production process along with their partners—the local artists (who call themselves BUFFER-KIT). Each local artist would pair up with an Australian counterpart to produce a final collaborative artwork. The collaborative efforts will culminate in a joint exhibition held at the Substation and Plastique Kinetic Worms galleries.
The second phase would occur in June 2003, in which the local artists would travel to Sydney, Australia, and engage in a similar collaborative exhibition. In this way, the local artists would be exposed to a foreign culture and learn to respond to the Australian context with an artwork by interacting with their Australian counterparts.
The local artists come from various backgrounds, such as the National University of Singapore (NUS), LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts (LASALLE-SIA), Nanyang Academy of Fine Art (NAFA) and National Institute of Education (NIE).
