Organiser of 15 Jan | Speculations On The Virtual
Join us as a we take stock of current practices and gain insights from networks across local and regional art communities.
The year 2022 sees us at an inflection point, made plain in part by the effects of the pandemic. It has hurled us into a technologically sophisticated, hyper-connected future brimming with anticipation and opportunities, yet we cannot deny the dichotomies that have surfaced alongside. Responding to this overarching theme of retrofuturism, we look back while looking forward, ruminating on past lessons learned to make smarter plans for the future.
Streaming live on SAW Digital with selected physical talks at Gillman Barracks, Block 47. More information on www.artandmarket.net/saw-dialogues-2022.
SAW Dialogues 2022 features a series of talks and panels organised by National Arts Council, in partnership with Art & Market and in coordination with our stakeholders, as part of Singapore Art Week.
