Is This Home, Truly?
A homecoming showcase of ‘Graffiti Art’ in Singapore
ANTZ / SKOPE / SLACSATU / THE KILLER GERBIL / TRASEONE / ZERO
The Pioneers, Markers and Avant-Gardes of Singapore’s ‘Graffiti Art’ are coming home to showcase artworks symbolizing respective peaks of their practice as ‘Graffiti Art’ practitioners. This showcase not only chronicles representational ‘pieces’ of the practitioners who plot the ‘Graffiti Art’ scene in Singapore from the early 90s till today, it also inaugurates their congregation in a ‘confined’ space – an environment that seems alienating yet longing.
How will the practitioners react to the space marginalizing their practice for the sake of commodity? Will there be a ‘silver lining’ or ‘hope’ for the practitioners to break through the ‘Art Market’? Thus, what is the role of the practitioners within institutional means? And of chief importance, what is the essence of ‘Graffiti Art’ in Is This Home, Truly? ?
The notion of ‘Graffiti’ and its entry to the established art world cast shadows of doubts among the ‘purists’ and art critics. On the contrary, it opens up possibilities, paving way for a handful who desire intense satisfaction and recognition. Nick Jockel, Exhibition Curator of Museum for Arts and Crafts in Hamburg as he commented on the opportunities and risks of exhibiting ‘Graffiti Art’ in established art institutions:
I became aware of the tragicomedy of this unsolved problem of graffiti transfer from the street to the gallery when
I once read how the century-old medium of canvas painting could – from a sprayers point of view – also be described as “portable”.
It is inevitable that the situation is not in the state of contentment as per the chorus of Kit Chan’s National Day theme song, Home. Rather, this tragicomedy needs to be questioned and discussed – the need to celebrate the omnipresence of a discursive showcase in Is This Home, Truly? .
