Description

Continuing the tradition of exhibitions which the Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art (mac LYON) devotes to 'distant' artistic scenes like China (Le Moine et le Démon in 2004), India (Indian Highway in 2011), and Brazil (Imagine Brazil in 2014), Open Sea, presented at the mac LYON from April 17th to July 12th 2015, is an invitation and an opportunity for visitors to discover the state of contemporary creative art in Southeast Asia.
The young city-state of Singapore is a cultural and economic crossroads. It is also a unique platform in Southeast Asia for art and a phenomenal artistic scene is emerging there. The exhibition brings together paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, videos, and photographs by 31 artists from 11 different countries. Some of the works on display have been chosen from more than 300 pieces in the large collection of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM); others were selected from the extremely dynamic Singapore Biennale. In addition, there are new performances and new creations. The exhibition is the fruit of a longstanding cooperation between the SAM, the Singapore Biennale, and the NHB (National Heritage Board - responsible for National museums and Heritage institutions in Singapore).
The bilingual catalogue presents the entire exhibition, with a unique iconography and texts by Thierry Raspail and Tan Boon Hui, as well as artists' notices for each of the 31 artists.


Le muDans la lignée des expositions que le Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon (macLYON) consacre aux scènes artistiques « lointaines » comme la Chine (Le Moine et le Démon en 2004), l'Inde (Indian Highway en 2011) ou encore le Brésil (Imagine Brazil en 2014), Open Sea, exposition présentée au mac LYON de Lyon du 17 avril au 12 juillet 2015, invite les visiteurs à découvrir la création contemporaine d'Asie du Sud-Est.
Carrefour culturel et économique, la jeune Cité-État de Singapour occupe dans ce paysage un rôle de plateforme singulière en Asie du Sud-Est et voit l'émergence d'une scène artistique formidable. L'exposition réunit des peintures, sculptures, installations, performances, vidéos et photographies de 31 artistes venus de 11 pays différents. Certaines des oeuvres présentées ont été choisies parmi les 300 pièces de l'importante collection du SAM (Singapore Art Museum) et certaines autres parmi celles de la très dynamique Biennale de Singapour. Elles sont accompagnées de performances et de créations nouvelles.
L'exposition est le résultat d'une complicité de longue date entre le SAM, la Biennale de Singapour et le NHB (National Heritage Board - en charge des musées nationaux et institutions patrimoniales de Singapour).
Le catalogue bilingue accompagne l'intégralité de l'exposition, grâce à une iconographie inédite et à des textes de Thierry Raspail et de Tan Boon Hui, ainsi qu'à travers des notices pour chacun des 31 artistes.
