The Making of National Gallery Singapore animates the story of the origins and physical transformations of the City Hall and former Supreme Court buildings into National Gallery Singapore. Accompanied by stunning photographs, these chapters flesh out details of the colonial past of the buildings, the conception and organisation of the architectural design competition, and the ambitious ten-year envisioning, design and building process.

Minimalism: Space, Light and Object is an expansive global survey of the movement’s influential language of reductive forms, from its Abstract Expressionist colour field antecedents to Post-Minimalism, and how it continues to speak to artists today. In this timely re-evaluation, the contemporaneous Mono-ha movement, as well as experimentation in video, sound and performance are brought to bear on the Minimalist canon. This richly illustrated exhibition catalogue features essays by the exhibition curators and international contributors, along with conversations with artists, opening up a forum for contemporary readings of this dynamic, multivalent and pivotal movement.

History & Criticism

About the Author\nJohn Clark is Emeritus Professor in Art History at the University of Sydney, the author of five books and editor or co-editor of another five. His Asian Modernities: Chinese and Thai Art of the 1980s and 1990s won the Best Art Book Prize of the Art Association of Australia and New Zealand in 2011. His most recent book is Modernities of Japanese Art.\nJohn Clark’s magisterial The Asian Modern reconstructs the notion of art and its historiography. Writing about the history of the Asian modern through the social life of artists, he generates a new paradigm for the narration of art. The Asian Modern meticulously charts his analysis of art in Asia from the 1850s to the present day, and is an invaluable resource for the scholar and layman alike.

Asian Modern

CLARK, JOHN

Who spoke of the modern? When was the modern written? How was it written? How was it received? This collection features texts spanning the late 19th to late 20th centuries, selected by a group of scholars as responses to questions such as these. They have been written by artists, critics, historians and curators in several languages, many of which are never before translated into the English language. Years in the making, this publication is the first to represent such breadth and depth of art writing in the region of Southeast Asia, and will be a valuable resource to students, teachers and scholars of Southeast Asian studies.
