Dual City Sessions

published Nov 26, 2007

Dual City Sessions is a collaborative exhibit which encompasses 28 artists, 14 from Tokyo and 14 Singapore, and was held at the Giuliano Fujiwara boutique on October 30th until November 4th, 2007.

The exhibit will travel to Singapore for the 2nd annual Singapore Design Festival from November 27th to December 8th- mark your calendars.

Conceptualized and curated by Felix Ng, founder of the Singapore-based design studio SILNT, Dual City Sessions is rooted with the intention to create a platform for international collaboration and cross pollination between artists from diverse and creative disciplines as well as backgrounds.

Overall, the exhibit serves to highlight the emerging and innovative practitioners in the fields of art, fashion, music and design.

For this exhibit, the first of its series, Tokyo-based conceptual unit Null, collaborated with artists from Singapore to initiate a new kind of dialog, one that revolved around the theme, "to subtract is to add," or "-=+." Each artist worked around axes of nature, architecture as well as other items symbolic of their respective nations.

Of course, the two different urban environments incubated a myriad of distinctions between the two groups of artists.
