-This spotted army quarter has been abandoned for morethan 10 years in Kinrara Emas. There are two massbuilding complex available with bushes.

-It’s considered valuable if we could turn it into our veryfirst artist village in Kinta Valley. It is not mean to be artistin residence space compared to Rimbun Dahan kind butmore like an art incubator.

-It’s envisioned to be the platform for emerging artists toshowcase their talent. The fundamental idea is to havethe commercial-inclined art element to compensatethose which are deemed less market driven. For example,the combination of industrial design and video artinstallation could take off from there.

-Another consideration is to bring in the emergingchorographer to rehearse their dance pieces there, sothat once a year, we can invite the international festivaldirector to come in and scouting the talents. Currently,the status of this property is a bit ambiguous.

-Nonetheless given the complexity of the project:concept of artist village, organization and management,business model and financial sustainability, it’s indeedtimely to seek for second round buy-in from the artistcommunity, further funding pointer, and heading towardsa formation of secretariat.

The Mei Ho House was built after a devastating fire in December 1953 that left approximately 58000 of citizens homeless.

The Colonial government then provided a 29-block resettlement estate on the site of the burnt-down shanties to

accommodate the homeless victims. Eight blocks (Blocks A to H) including the Mei Ho House a.k.a Block H, later

renumbered as Blocks 10 through 13 and 35 through to 41, were constructed with the financial aid of the United Nations in

the year of 1954.

Mei Ho House is a place that preserves features of Hong

Kong’s early public housing through restoration, to pass

down the historical, cultural and humanistic values of

Mei Ho House, and to transform Mei Ho House into a

cultural landmark of the local community.

It is to set an example for revitalization of historic

buildings, and to facilitate collaborations among scholars,

experts and inhabitants in promoting community-led

conservation of historic buildings.

It invites people from different worlds to serve as docents

of YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel in a bid to strengthen

neighborhood bonding.

To boost economic growth of the local community by

attracting worldwide travellers through the Hostelling

SEA STATE by

Charles Lim Yi Yong

SEA STATE is a series of nine projects initiated in 2005 by artist and

former Olympian sailor Charles Lim, with the premise of inverting

perceptions of sea and land in the island city-state of Singapore.

It explores the biophysical, aspirational and cerebral contours of the

Southeast Asian city, through the visible and invisible lenses of the sea. Its

structure is inspired by the World Meteorological Organization’s code for

measuring sea conditions, which numbers the varying states ranging from

calm, to moderate, to the phenomenal. Considered together, SEA STATE is

an index of this extreme oscillation and a call to attention.

Singapore, with its impressive urban edifice but also as an island

located along the equator, has striven to deepen the imagination of the

tropical forces that compel and overwhelm it.

Created by maritime trade, both colonial and modern, Singapore has

found itself at the center of global debates surrounding resource use, climate

change and territorial sovereignty. Its architectural solutions, from the

reclamation of land from the sea to the most recent case of devising

undersea caverns, form paradigmatic examples - absolutely singular yet

potent prototypes for managing and navigating these challenges.

Singapore reclaims and recreates itself constantly - this is the

paramount expression of its will.

Singapore has taken a 20-years lease on space at the

Venice Biennale, making a long-term commitment to the

international arts festival.

The announcement was made on 6 MAY 2015, by Mr.

Sam Tan, Minister of State for Culture, Community and

Youth (MCCY).

“Having a long-term lease in Venice will enable future

editions of Singapore artists and curators to view the

space for themselves. They will be able to imagine the

creative possibilities for their works, and use the space to

play to their strengths.” Mr. Paul Tan, deputy executive

of Singapore National Arts Council.
