Singapore Contemporary Art Show 2016

Went down to the first edition. Interesting. Not as big as Art Stage but still works of good/decent quality. Supposed to plug the gap between Art Stage and Affordable Art Fair. Think it does. Definitely better quality than AAF. But I felt Singapore Art Fair 2014 had better quality. You can check out TodayOnline, Straits Times, Channelnewsasia and other news websites to see how they rank the fairs, including Art Apart Fair. (Been to previous editions, only so-so, thus go only when you are feeling art starved.)

I think that the organisers of SCA are working hard and I think have committed to 3 years at least and the next edition should be better. They have set the date for next year already. Just hope that Art Week doesn't move before it. And it's good to have another fair in case Art Stage pulls out. Heard some talk about it, dunno if it's just to get NAC /EDB to continue with their grants.

Anyway back to the Art, posting some art which caught my eye:

Catch the show if you can. You can buy a ticket online: 1 for 1 ($30), so it works out to $15 per person only. Hope we get a bigger and better curated exhibition next year. Maybe they should jump on the bandwagon and also do a show with a strong South East Asian push, supported by other galleries from Asia than international. But should have a strong SEA flavour. Then we really can get many people coming to SG during this period and Singapore is the go to place for SEA art especially during Art Week.
