National Gallery Singapore – The Power of Multitude

► Gallery Lecturess | The Power of Multitude: A Survey of Artists’ Collectives in Singapore from 1935 – 1988

It traces the shifts in the Singapore art scene from “organizational collectivism” that sought to professionalize art, to “exhibition collectivism” that championed group exhibitions, and “collaborative collectivism” that created opportunities for artists to collaborate.
