MINIMALISM: SPACE. LIGHT. OBJECT
Mirrored cubes. Mono-coloured rooms. Words on the wall.
The highly reduced forms of the Minimalism movement, which first came to prominence in 1960s New York, radically challenged the concepts of art and continue to resonate today.
This exhibition by National Gallery Singapore and ArtScience Museum is the first survey of Minimalist art in South-east Asia of this scale, with around 150 artworks by more than 80 artists. These span five decades and come not just from the United States, but also Asia, Europe and Australia.
Besides works by well-known figures such as Donald Judd from the United States, Anish Kapoor (Void) from Britain and Ai Weiwei from China, there are also new installations by Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich and Chinese artist Liu Jianhua.
