Credit Suisse: Innovation In Art Series The Collectors Show: Weight of History
25 January 2013 to 12 May 2013
Singapore Art Museum
The Collectors Show is one of the most anticipated shows on the arts calendar and continues to present compelling contemporary artworks from private collections in Asia. Defying conventional expectations of private art collections as being merely showpieces to be hung on walls, this edition features a spectrum of more than 20 works that show how artists perceive, and re-conceive the multiple facets of history in the Asia-Pacific region.
Curated and independently organised by SAM, Weight of History examines how artists engage with, and evaluate, local traditions and culture, translating them into masterpieces which display the interconnected relationship between past and present in our increasingly globalised societies.
