Blah: A National Conversation
‘blah: A National Conversation’ is a group exhibition featuring new works by alumni of the Faculty of Fine Arts, LASALLE College of the Arts.
The expression ‘blah’ is suggestive of blabbering while phonetically, ‘be-lah’ is slang in the Malay language used to tell someone to go away or leave instantly. The conceptual underpinning of the exhibition is inspired by the casual yet possibly politically charged nature of conversations that take place at local neighbourhood coffee shops. These coffee shops are where people gather to unwind and vent without having to worry about saying a little too much, a concern that is exaggerated in a country like Singapore. This exhibition presents works across various media aiming to critically address issues that arise from the conversations within this setting.
Curated by Fyerool Darma and Rubin Hashim.
Exhibiting artists:
Denise Jillian Tan, Fyerool Darma, Mohamad Riduan, Rubin Hashim, and Shah Rizzal.
Opening Date: Wed 13 Mar 2013, 6.30pm
Exhibition runs: Thu 14 Mar – Sun 24 Mar 2013
