Vibgyor on
Strings - dedicated to Dikshitar
By alapana arts
30 Oct (Sun),
7.00pm, SAM Glass Hall. Free.
A violin recital by Lavanya Raghuraman with alapana teacher
T.R.Vijayakumar dedicated to one of the Trinity of Indian music, Sri
Muthuswami Dikshitar, a composer of the 18th century whose family
was the first to adapt the violin for Carnatic music. Dikshitar
passed away on Deepavali; hence this concert comprised solely of
Dikshitar’s compositions is a fitting tribute to this phenomenal
composer.
Lavanya is fortunate to inherit the musical heritage of Dikshitar
through a line of disciples: Dikshitar-Ponniah Pillai- grandson
Ponniah Pillai- Dr S.Ramanathan - R.Banumathy - Lavanya Raghuraman.
She has been learning to play the violin since the age of 5 and has
won prizes twice at the National Indian Music Competition organised

CURATOUR: Commitment and Dedication in Art
14 Oct
(Fri), 7.00pm – 8.00pm, SAM Lobby (Meeting point), Free. Advance
registration required*.
By Joyce Fan
In
conjunction with Art Of Our Time exhibitions
Taking its cue from the
exhibition’s subtitle – Unyielding Passion – this tour will
focus on the philosophy and diverse practices of three artists –
Georgette Chen, Iskandar Jalil and Tang Da Wu. These are artists
who make up part of the 8 Masters of Singapore Art in this
exhibition component.
Joyce Fan started her museum
career in 1993 in the then National Museum Art Gallery and left in
1995 to pursue her Masters in Art History at Pratt Institute, New
York. She is currently a curator at the Singapore Art Museum, and
her research focus is on modern and contemporary art of Singapore
and Southeast Asia.
· PART IV
Art and society in 1950s: A Discussion Series on Art Collectives
and Community
15 Oct
(Sat), 2.00pm – 5.00pm, SAM Auditorium.
Initiated
during A Heroic Decade: Singapore Art 1955–1965 exhibition
(21 Jul – 19 Sep 2005), a special showcase in conjunction with
Singapore’s 40th Year of Independence Celebration
Chair: Kwok Kian Chow
Speakers: Chng Seok Tin,
Choo Keng Kwang, Koeh Sia Yong, Dr Lai Kui Fang, Lim Yew Kuan
This is the concluding forum to
the discussion series that has explored the role of art societies
and groups during this vital period in the nation’s history. Art
associations in the 1950s were crucial in spreading critical ideas
of art making. The final session will consider the circumstances
that promoted interests for socially-oriented artistic approaches
in the 1950s and explore how universal elements of social realism
are absorbed into the local context.
This forum is conducted in
Mandarin with English summary and multilingual Q & A.

Art and
society in 1950s: A Discussion Series on Art Collectives and
Community HIGHLIGHT
In conjunction
with A Heroic Decade: Singapore Art 1955–1965
A Special
Showcase in Conjunction with Singapore’s 40th Year of Independence
Celebration
Driven by the local and global
realities of post-colonial economic and political situations,
social realism, beyond an aesthetic import, took root in Singapore
as one of the anchors of local art practice. Art associations in
the 1950s were crucial in spreading these critical ideas of art
making. The talk series examines the role of such art associations
and culminates in a forum which will consider the circumstances
that promoted interests for socially-oriented artistic approaches
in the 1950s and explore how universal elements of social realism
were absorbed into the local context. Invited discussants, drawn
from a range of artists practising during the period, will reflect
on their experiences and thoughts.
All talks are in Mandarin.
