EDITOR’S LETTER

Dear Readers,
As you pull away the plastic wrap on this month’s issue, you would have noticed
that CONFABULATION is now renamed The Pocket Arts Guide (TPAG).

The name change is reflective of our continuing efforts to become more

accessible to the general public while still holding the interest of our current
pool of sophisticated art lovers.

TPAG aims to provide local audience an easy-to-understand, non-exclusive

coverage of various arts events and seeks to educate and inform those new to
the arts. Topics will range from the traditional fine arts such as paintings and
sculptures to antiquities, the performing arts, installations, as well as film
and photography.

TPAG also boasts of the most comprehensive pull-out art map in Singapore.
This enables readers to have a fuss-free art walk around Singapore’s Art and
Heritage District, as well as explore off-town art troves such as Dempsey,
Wessex Estate and Holland Village.

From time to time, we will invite the best in the field to work with us to
release Special Focus Issues that delve into a particular subject matter. These
Guest Editors explore the designated topic at length while allowing readers
a peek into their world. Invited Guest Editors included Jason Lim for the
Performing Arts Special Focus in April 2010 and Vidhya Gnana Gouresan
for a future Indian Art Special Focus for October 2010.

This month, we put together a preview of the upcoming art fairs and speak
to a few gallery directors on their participation. We will kick start October
with ARTSingapore (8th – 11th). Art Expo Malaysia will be taking place
from 28th October till 1st November while Affordable Art Fair will run from
the 19th to the 21st of November. Gallery directors of Cape of Good Hope Art
Gallery, Pop and Contemporary Fine Art, S.bin Art Plus and Utterly Art
tell us more about their participation in said art fairs. On the 18th, we will
celebrate the launch of our collaborative Community Arts issue between TPAG
and Social Creatives at Black Earth Museum.

Here’s to a busy last quarter and to you, our faithful readers.

The exhibition is an intriguing showcase of Singapore-based

Alpana Vij’s subtly-expressive and highly-sensitive portraits
of women of seemingly neutral temperaments. The artist
acquires inspiration through the search for the element of raw,
unassuming co-existence in the presence of commonality in
human existence. Alpana Vij holds a Fine Arts degree from the
College of Art, New Delhi (India).

Both artists create works using a combination of collage and

painting on canvas. Collage materials chosen range from fabric
to recycled packaging material. Ping Ping paints in water-
soluble oils and Ziwei paints in acrylic. Despite working in similar
mediums, each artist has a distinctive style captured through
the choice of collage material used, the manner in which collage
and painting are incorporated, and the selection of subject
matter. Ping Ping’s works are inspired by nature and family,
while Ziwei’s are based on sites of memory that she reinvents
as symbols.

Vibha Galhotra’s first solo exhibition in Singapore, “Intruder”
comprises a collection of 10 new digital prints on canvas.
Using photography, sculptures, wall texts and props, this body
of work aims to recreate the empty and desolate being of the
day after terror. This series of staged photographs, shot in ‘old
city’ locations around the world, addresses the experience
of fear and abandonement one encounters in a once secure
neighbourhood that has turned into deserted space caused by
an act of terror. Through the medium of photography, Vibha
documents the silence and void created in such spaces and
questions the sense of security we have today.
Ketna Patel – dubbed the ‘Andy Warhol of the East’ - colourful
works are a stark contrast to Vibha’s visions of devastating
beauty. Loud, rich with bold striking colours, Ketna’s
compositions are derived from complex narrative that questions
the effects of modernity on time, space, communication and
traditional culture.

Singapore New Generation Artists (FSNGA) for the second

from both countries to its international audience, hence creating
awareness of the emerging styles in art and contributing in
shaping the landscape of the art scene. It is also organised
to promote an exchange of artistic knowledge, experiences
and ideas between the new generation artists from France and

I n the 1920s, Platte was at the centre of the European art

scene and exhibited alongside the likes of Picasso, Jawlensky,
Kandinsky, Klee and Matisse. Interested in different cultures
and religions, Platte studied China and explored Buddhism.
So deep was his interest in Jewish culture and religion that he
taught himself Hebrew.

Platte had a close friendship with the artist Alexej von

Jawlensky, through whom he met the noted art collector and
dealer, Ms Emmy Esther (Galka) Scheyer. She brought the
works of the Blue Four - Jawlensky, Kandinsky, Feininger and
Klee - to prominence with a tour of America. In 1927, she
arranged an exhibition entitled European Modernists in Los
Angeles with Platte among the featured artists (catalogue
attached). Galka Scheyer also collected Platte’s work. The
respect was mutual; Platte painted a portrait of Ms Scheyer
in her honour (portrait attached).

But Platte’s work became another of the many casualties of

the rise of fascism in Europe and World War II. His art
was considered ‘’degenerate’’ by the Nazis, removed from
museums and destroyed. He was banned from exhibiting but
continued to work in secret in his attic. In 1943, however,
he saw his secret studio and paintings go up in flames in an
Allied firebomb raid. His only son died a few months later in
the war. But Platte survived, continuing to create for the next
40 years, developing new techniques with his wax paintings
and fire collages.

An exhibition of core works from his estate will start at Art

Trove’s gallery in Waterloo Street on Sunday, October 3. Mrs.
Christina Rau will be a special guest at the exhibition’s official
opening event a few days later, which will also coincide with
the release of a new book on the artist. Mrs. Rau is the wife
of the late former German president, Dr. Johannes Rau, who
was an avid collector of Platte’s work.

Art Trove director Nicolai von Uexküll-Güldenband said

he intends to keep Platte’s main works together in a core
collection and give it proper exposure. The collection will be

 ARITST IN FOCUS

Burton Morris
Making the Future go Pop!

S o who is Burton Morris? Burton Morris was born in

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1964, the birthplace of Pop
Art legends Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. From childhood
Burton loved to draw and create and tried to emulate the art of
cartoons and comic books. Thanks to his parents, who took him
on regular trips to the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, Burton was introduced to the wonderful world
of art!

It was from here that Burton acquired special admiration

and interest in the work of the great 1960`s Pop Artists, in
particular Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. It was their use
of colour, subject and composition that inspired Burton along
the path which his artwork travels today.

Like the late Pop Artist Keith Haring, Morris felt an early
attraction to Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky’s paintings that
resemble fantastic comic strips. Both artists saw the Belgian’s
large exhibition in the International Series, again, at the
Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, in 1977. Today, Burton
still draws his inspiration from cartoons, comic books and
everyday life in general.

Morris earned his bachelor of fine arts degree at Carnegie

Mellon University in 1986 and upon graduating worked in
advertising as an art director, creating television commercials.
It was then that he began developing his post-Pop drawings.

Burton established the “Burton Morris Studios” in 1990. That

year he began making his small post-Pop icons more impressive
by enlarging them. He also began to tighten his brushwork into
his present day precise style. He would choose one subject per

composition to create what he calls “an
instant happening” for the viewer. In his
paintings, Morris energizes every day
images with his unique style. Burton`s
distinctive sword-like slashes suggesting
shards of energy come from his study of
woodcut prints. Sixteenth century artist
Albrecht Durer and Twentieth century
artist Rockwell Kent incorporated
similar lines in their work showing
Burton`s unique understanding of art
throughout the ages. Now, as a result,
subjects such as a steaming coffee cup, a
swirling martini and a dancing popcorn
box all take on a new life under his
brush.
These now iconic images inspired
Burton early on in his career with each
representing a part of today`s popular
culture. The coffee cup representing
the coffee generation, the popcorn
box the entertainment industry and
Hollywood and the martini our social
climate. Through these simple everyday
objects, Burton the artist, represents
and portrays his own ideas and his own
outlook on life.
Morris` CV is impressive and often
surprises potential collectors by its
depth and diversity. Burton`s first major
opportunity was to be taken on by NBC
to produce artwork for the hit US sitcom,
“Friends”, something Burton continued
to do for the full 10 year run of the show.
This proved to be a stepping stone on
to even greater things. These included
creating signature images for the 76th
annual Academy Awards, The Andre
ARTIST IN FOCUS
Agassi Foundation, the 2006 Major
League Baseball All-Star Game and the
38th Montreux Jazz Festival.
Now with international recognition,
Burton was selected by the International
Olympic Committee to create 36
original paintings regarding the spirit of
the Olympic Games. The International
Olympic Museum also hosted a one-man
exhibition in Lausanne, Switzerland,
during the 2004 Summer Olympic
Games in Athens, Greece which proved
to be a spectacular success.
On the back of these successes and
huge exposure followed a large celebrity
following which was long and illustrious
ranging from Heads of State (President
Sarkozy of France) to media moguls
(Oprah Winfrey) to giant corporations
(Apple).
Two of Burton`s collectors that may be
somewhat surprising are Roy Disney
and Stan Lee, both legends in their
own right. Burton`s work however, like
Burton`s enthusiasm, is infectious and
once Burton has the chance to explain
his work in person, the audience, no
matter how great, cannot help but be
captivated. So impressed was Stan
Lee (creator of Marvel Comics) that
he wrote the introduction to Burton`s
book...”POP!”

Artists, like other creative people, can
get to a point where they believe that
they are much bigger in stature than is
actually the case and an arrogance that
is almost expected of them is exuded.
Not so for Burton and herein lies one
of his real strengths. Speak to Burton
and you would really not realise the
fame and natural talent of the man, as
he appears so normal, so humble that it
refreshes the belief in collectors of the
normality of artists that are willing to
convey and explain their work to astute
collectors and novices alike. Not only
does Burton take the time to explain
his work, he actually enjoys doing so
and this enthusiasm can undoubtedly be
seen in all of his work. Talk to Burton

to raise for charity, a cause close to his
heart.

something that, ultimately, makes you

for any Pop Art piece?!
So where does Burton go from here?
What is next on the agenda? What is the
next direction for his artwork to take?
Burton is driven by his love of art and
future goals and ambitions are simply
to continue creating new artwork that
inspires future generations as the late,
great Pop Artists once inspired him!

 AFFORDABLE ART FAIR

Affordable Art Fair:

Art for everyone
19.11.10 - 21.11.10 /
F1 Pit Building, Singapore
Text: Viviana Mejía / Fair Manager, Affordable Art Fair

T he Affordable Art Fair Singapore is a groundbreaking

concept of purchasing art in a way that is accessible,
educational, affordable and helpful. From art lovers, to young
or versed collectors, everyone can find a way to embrace their
newfound interest or passion in art.

Staged all over Europe, the United States, Australia and for
the first time in Asia with Singapore as it’s inaugural country,
the Fair is one of a kind. “We are excited to hold the first
Affordable Art Fair in Asia in Singapore. A dynamic city, with
strong focus on the arts, it is the perfect location for us to work
with galleries from all over Asia, as well as from Europe and
Australia. It is an exciting time for art in Singapore and AAF
will be a key part of the change that is occurring”, explains Paul
Matthews AAF Development Director.

Its founder William Ramsay developed this idea in 1999 in

London in order to facilitate an environment where people
could buy contemporary art without being excluded because of
their lack of art knowledge or price limitations. 11 years have
passed and the Affordable Art Fair has developed into a brand
that continues to expand and has promoted new audiences to
venture into the art market.

The Affordable Art Singapore will have about around

60 galleries from Singapore, Asia, Europe and Australia
showcasing their art works featuring emerging artists to mid-
career established artists. The main objective is to draw people
who are not regular visitors to galleries as well as those who
are. Therefore, seminars, art demonstrations and art workshops

that will provide both an educational
and fun experience will be offered.
Singularity of its location is a recurring
element for the AAF brand since it is
often takes place in distinctive sites such
as the Battersea Park in London, Tour &
Taxis (an early 20th Century industrial
site) in Brussels to Westergasfabriek a
former gasworks in Amsterdam. F1 Pit
Building is a unique and exciting venue
where the Fair will be launched in
November. Strategically located at the
Marina Bay District this area reflects
both AAF and the new Singapore,
where design and creativity merge with
distinctiveness and modernity.
‘This fair will allow visitors to purchase
art from an eclectic selection of galleries
from a wealth of cities including
Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong
Kong, Spain, London and Australia”,
explains Camilla Hewitson, Fair
Director. Which will present the
spectators with an engaging visual scope
of the diverse art productions in these
countries. Affordability is a pillar of the
fair, therefore the prices range from SG
$100 to SG $10,000, and 75% of the
artwork displayed is under $SG 7500.
AAF Singapore is a holistic experience.
Families can visit the fair by paying a
special Family price of SG $15 which
includes all the actives offered. The
Education Programme invites visitors
to catch printmaking demonstrations,
talks and Children’s Activites at the
Children’s Studio. These are not only
AFFORDABLE ART FAIR
fun and informative but also free!
In the Children’s Studio kids between
4 and 12 can let their imagination
run free in the activities conducted by
ArtBootCamp. In this special section of
the Fair, children can create their own
masterpiece and exhibit it on the Wall of
Fame for everyone to see. They can also
make their own cards for any occasion,
with the help of experienced artists.
Adults and art enthusiasts also have a
place to discover their artistic side by
attending printmaking demonstrations
by printmaster Marisa Keller from Art
& Printmaking Studio to learn more
about the various techniques of this art
form. Alongside the demonstrations,
visit Original Prints, an exhibition
showcasing 10 Singapore based
printmakers’ works made exclusively for
the Affordable Art Fair and have the
chance to meet the artists.
Seminars about art collecting and
the South East Asian contemporary
art market will be offered by our
educational partner Sotheby’s Institute
of Art. In addition, artists will be able
to discuss their art practice and works in
an interactive panel with the audience.
The stars of tomorrow will have a
chance to showcase their works in the
Recent Graduate Exhibition. This
will be a platform for them to present
their creations in an international fair
and receive feedback from potential
collectors and curious spectators.

A word from our strategic partners

Phil W hittaker from the Sotheby ’s

Institute of Ar t Singapore – Educational
Par tner
“Sotheby’s Institute of art-Singapore are
extremely pleased and honoured to support the
Affordable Art Fair as their educational partner.
We believe that the Affordable Art Fair, along
with other initiatives will certainly help to raise the
profile of visual arts in Singapore. The Affordable
Art Fair already has an international reputation,
and specifically occupies a unique niche in the
visual arts industry. They offer the opportunity
for individuals to buy and own visual art without
investing thousands and thousands of dollars.
This gives a fantastic opportunity for nascent
collectors to be involved in the art world, and as
such we see this playing a vital role in the overall
education and development of a meaningful art
scene.”

Ghazali Saad from Rhema Events &

Ar ts Ser vices Pte Ltd – Shipping and Ar t

“Rhema Events & Arts Services Pte Ltd is excited

to be involved in the inaugural Affordable Art Fair
Singapore as the Official Art Handler. RHEMA
looks forward to the partnership as it joins a
select group of fine art transporters who service
and handle the renowned AAF series around the
world. We welcome the opportunity for RHEMA to
showcase its stable of experienced art handlers,
and at the same time oversee the logistics for the
entire exhibition.”

you think accounts for this increase in
the number of art fairs?
This is a good start and indicates the
growing confidence from local and regional
art dealers and art event organizers. This will
benefit the local art scene especially for the
art collectors and students.
Are there any other exhibitions or
events that you are looking forward to
in the last quarter of the year? [Pop

we have four art fairs lined up back
to back starting with ARTSingapore
in October, Art Expo Malaysia,
Affordable Art Fair and finally ending
with Art Stage in January. What do
you think accounts for this increase in
the number of art fairs?
Over the years, art has become more
accessible and thanks to that increased
exposure, people are gradually becoming
more comfortable with the idea of owning
art.
Ultimately it is a case of supply and demand.
The more people experience art the more
chance they have to fall in love with the idea
of owning artwork and integrating into their
homes and lives.
Also, as Singapore continues to grow as
an Asian metropolis so Singapore`s cultural
revolution will continue and this in turn
creates further demand for such art fairs.
POP AND CONTEMPORARY
Who (what artworks) will you be
bringing to the fair(s)? [ Would be great
if galleries can include a price range
here as well].
We will be showing artwork from Burton
Morris (who we have the sole representation
for in Singapore), Andy Warhol, Keith Haring,
Robert Longo, Yayoi Kusama and Takashi
Murakami.
The prices for these pieces will range from
SGD 3,750 for Yayoi Kusama up to SGD
105,000 for an Andy Warhol piece. As is
our custom we will then have other pieces
at tiered prices between the high and the
low, so that we have pieces available to all
potential collectors, big and small.
Are there any other exhibitions or
events that you are looking forward
to in the last quarter of the year apart
from taking part in ARTSingapore in
October?
We will be having a preview exhibition at ION
in September as a prelude to ARTSingapore.
At the end of September we will be
exhibiting more Yayoi Kusama artwork for
a Japanese Fair at the St Regis here in
Singapore.
And lastly we will be having an Andy Warhol

The increase in the number of art fairs shows
