The Singapore Embassy in Berlin is proud to be one of the sponsors for "2 or 3 Tigers", a group exhibition about colonialism, media & modernity in East Asia. A central and thought-provoking piece, of which the exhibition derives its title from, is by none other than Singaporean multimedia & multi-talented artist, HO TZU NYEN, who "re-stages" a famous 1885 wood engraving of a supposed encounter in colonial Singapore between George Dromgold Coleman, the Government Superintendent of Public Works and Land Surveyor, & a Malayan tiger in 1835!
Tzu Nyen shot to fame when his work, "The Cloud of Unknowing", was showcased at the Singapore Pavilion of the 5th Venice Biennale in 2011. His works have appeared in the Guggenheim & other museums as well as art galleries around the world.
Tzu Nyen will be discussing his work, "2 or 3 Tigers" alongside other speakers at an event entitled "Tiger Media" on Friday, 21 April at 4 pm (see details in other posts below) at the HKW.
The "2 or 3 Tigers" exhibition is curated by Anselm Franke & Hyunjin Kim. Other artists whose works are featured include James T. Hong, Hsu Chia-wei, IM Heung-Soon, Jane Jin Kaisen & Guston Sondin-Kung, Minouk Lim, Park Chan-Kyong, Yuichiro Tamura.
