Abstract
Program done in a magazine format that attempts to bring the experience of art to an audience in a media-saturated society. Each episode covers 4 segments. Passage follows the path and development of artistes' struggles and achievements. Art or not challenges viewers to ponder over whether certain popular art forms may truly be known as art or not. State of the art considers events that have or are taking place in Singapore. Gallery features accomplished persons from various art forms commenting on the development of the art form in Singapore and around the world. This episode features Chieu Shuey Fook, one of Singapore's veteran artist, and takes a look at his latest passage, his metal relief on the Singapore River, which he was approached by the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts to do for the "Go With The Flow" Exhibition on the Singapore River. Chieu's signature style is metal relief, but he is also well versed in a wide range of mediums, from batik to glass. In State of Art, we look at art auctions in Singapore and find out what they are all about. For this segment, Beatrice Chia speaks to Irene Lee, Chairman, Christie's and Esther Seet, Managing Director, Sotheby's Singapore. In Art or Not, we look at whether the skills of make up artists can be considered as art. Gallery looks at how the ancient form of puppet theatre has evolved over the years.
