Red Bull ‘Art Of Can’ is here

It has captivated thousands of fans around the globe over the past decade, now it has finally made it way to Singapore! Arguably the most intriguing of creativity contests around, the Red Bull Art of Can Singapore will mark the first time that the immensely popular pop art event is held in the Asia Pacific region.

To be officially launched on Monday, 1 March 2010, the Red Bull Art of Can Singapore will be only the
second one in the whole of Asia, since Dubai in 2008.

Brought to you by the company behind the famous tagline ìRed Bull Gives You Wiiingsî, the Red Bull Art of Can is an art competition that is open to everyone regardless of age or artistic background. The goal of the event is to engage consumers with the creative, or ìmindî side of the brand, whose brand positioning is ìvitalizes body and mindî.

Artists, students, grandparents and all of those in-between are invited to participate, although the competition is expected to attract more creative types of all ages and occupations ñ from students to industrial designers and professional artists to teachers.

Flying in the face of traditional art media, contestants taking part in this unique contest have to abide by only one single rule ñ they need to incorporate the famous blue and silver Red Bull cans from the Austrian Energy Drink giant along with some inspiration and a lot of imagination to conceive and produce an original work art. The final artwork could be anything from a sculpture, to a collage, jewellery, furniture, fashion accessory or interactive art!

In other words, they have a free reign to let their creativity run wild, as there are no constraints with the Red Bull Art of Can contest other than the limits of oneís imagination. All that is asked is the Red Bull can be the focus of the art work.

Generation Press: The British Red Cross Haiti Appeal

Generation Press presents a set of four posters – Edition No.1/100 x4 Posters for The British Red Cross Haiti appeal.
-
‘We want to do something to help the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake. Inspired by how other creative people and organisations have raised so much, we want to contribute in some small way. We feel the need to bring forward the release of our four new posters in order to raise as much money as quickly as possible for the horrific plight of the Haitians effected by such a terrible disaster. We know now, more than ever, that these posters and why they exist is not important, but if they can raise just a little that would be better than sitting by and doing nothing.
-
Trivial as it now seems, but in order to give them some context, here’s how they came about.

The fourth generation of the family took over the business ten years ago. And in order to celebrate what we have loved during this time, we asked designer Michael C Place of Build to design a poster and also to set a brief around our tenth birthday to; Photographer; Timothy Saccenti, Illustrator; Sanna Annukka and Copywriter; John O’Reilly. Build then conducted the procedures making it all come together. The posters are a strict edition of 100 only, and are not for sale. So this is not only a great opportunity to help people who really need it right now, but to also have a chance of owning these beautiful posters!’

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival: Art & The Law

ART & THE LAW
13 – 24 JANUARY 2010

The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2010 will feature 20 international and Singapore works
including 3 Festival Highlights from Singapore, Taiwan and England.

This year’s festival will feature 6 works by Singapore artists and arts groups. Besides The
Necessary Stage’s Festival Highlight, __________Can Change, the other 5 works that have
been commissioned by the festival include Albert Tiong, Najib Soiman, The Institute of
Critical Zoologists, Teater Ekamatra and Susan Yeung.

The festival is proud to present the world premiere of Najib Soiman’s JIWO JIRO which
explores the laws of nature through the physicality of a ‘small person’. Fresh from his Best
Actor win at the 9th Life! Theatre Awards 2009 for his role in The Necessary Stage’s Gemuk
Girls, Najib is back but this time in the playwright-director’s seat.

Meanwhile, Teater Ekamatra will bring us the final installment of their trilogy of short black
comedies, presented as one complete experience with Bilik Ahmad Berdaki. The three
plays explore the dynamics and complexities of trust and betrayal (Bilik), of gender and
sexual politics (Ahmad), and of hunger and ownership (Berdaki). This time, the characters
and realities intertwine into one.

Albert Tiong’s The Passing is an original contemporary dance-theatre work that explores
Man’s existence as a process leading up to an eventual death. In this world premiere, Tiong
creatively stretches the boundaries and principles embraced by life, featuring unique
perspectives of life through the integration of a multi-media projection. Susan Yeung will
present the world premiere of Missing Statement. The work explores opposite reactions by
way of contrast between the dancer onscreen reflected in black and white, and dancers on
stage.

The Institute of Critical Zoologist’s A Guide to the Common Flora and Fauna of the
World seeks to explore contemporary human/animal relationship through wildlife
trafficking, by actively engaging the laws in various countries. The exhibition takes its
inspiration from a real life smuggling case where 15 endangered geckos were concealed in
hollowed-out books and transported out of Australia, only to be intercepted by the country’s
customs.

Design Film Festival 2010

A Design Film Festival
featuring Herb & Dorothy,
Milton Glaser, Beautiful
Losers, Rem Koolhaas,
Visual Acoustics,
Craftwork, Extended Play and J-Star.

20 – 30 January 2010 at
Sinema, Old School.

Next January, Anonymous presents A Design Film Festival 2010. This will be the first film festival in Asia dedicated to design. Audiences can expect an eclectic selection of films dedicated to architecture, graphic design, art, motion graphics, photography and guerilla culture.

A biennially festival, A Design Film Festival is the first of its kind in Asia. Selected films hail from around the world – New York, Japan, London, Berlin, Bangkok and many more. The selection of documentaries, features and short films, animations and music videos are curated by noted local art director, Felix Ng. Together with Anonymous, Ng aims to use A Design Film Festival as a platform to develop content for the creative industry and expose audiences from various design disciplines and even non-design audiences to international works.

Ng has curated many design exhibitions around the world and his works have been featured in design journals from Berlin, Tokyo and New York. This is Ngʼs first time curating a film festival and he is very excited about the line-up of films as “all of the films are seeing its debut screening in this part of the world!”, he states. The concept is simple: “Itʼs not often what we create as designers or artists get captured in film. Itʼs either in a museum, a gallery or talked about in some small independent press. Now weʼve found this 8 films that celebrate the design process and through a medium that speaks to the non-designers as well.”

A Design Film Festival established a special partnership with onedotzero, the highly regarded international motion art festival from the United Kingdom. The three films, Extended Play 09, Craftwork and J-Star 09 will be onedotzeroʼs only edition in Southeast Asia. The festival will also feature bonus content by some of the worldʼs most innovative thinkers and creators. 9 individuals from New York, London, Sheffield, Helsinki, Bangkok and Stockholm, the bonus content will be screened like how film trailers are shown prior to movies – as a glimpse to the curatorial teamʼs personal favorites of the year.

The film festival will run from 20 – 30 January 2010, with 15 screenings of 8 different films. It will be held at Sinema Old School located at 11B Mount Sophia, Old School, B1-12, Singapore 228466.

Ticket prices range from S$12 – $15, excluding ticketing charge. Tickets can be purchased through the festival’s official website, or at Sinema Old School.
