EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS SHOW DETAILS

Transcription

1 EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS The Singapore Contemporary Art Show will be held in Singapore January 19 22, 2017, at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. Spanning 6,000sqm and at the outset of the Asian arts calendar, Singapore Contemporary is an important influencer in Singaporeʼs vibrant and growing art scene and a cornerstone event of Singapore Art Week. Singapore Contemporary will focus exclusively on quality contemporary artworks and installation art. The scope includes original paintings, limited editions, sculpture, photography, video and digital arts from some of the worldʼs most interesting and promising artists from emerging and mid-career artists, to those who have already achieved recognition in private and public collections, and at auction. With the 2017 Show, we are pleased to introduce a new sector: Photo17 Singapore. Photo17 Singapore is a curated sector dedicated to contemporary photography worldwide. With over 350sqm, the sector will feature artists, galleries and student projects using photography as the main medium. Carefully selected, the exhibition will share a vision, perception and process making of photography. With the easy availability of digital cameras, everyone can claim to be a photographer. This has made photography perhaps the most popular visual arts medium today. Within the contemporary art scene however, an increasingly innovative group of artists have been pushing the envelope, extending the possibilities of the photographic medium beyond the mundane snapshot (Instagram). As photography takes its rightful place as an indelible part of contemporary art practice, Photo17 Singapore will be looking closely at the diversity and development of photography in the region and beyond.

2 SELECTION AND ADMISSION PROCESS PHOTO17 SINGAPORE will look closely at the diversity and development of photography from its documentation form to the expanded fields of installations and new media, in the region and beyond. PHOTO17 SINGAPORE will be organised into four sections that emphasise some of the fundamental dimensions explored in photography: documentary photography, fine art photography, conceptual photography and mixed media/installations - where artists experiment and challenge the medium visually, technically and conceptually.

The Exhibits intended for exhibition must be listed in the supporting material accompanying the Application Form and the Organizer shall have the right to obtain detailed information on the individual Exhibits the Exhibitor intends to present. 2.2 Only those Exhibits approved by the Organizer in writing may be exhibited. The Exhibitor is not permitted to display Exhibits not approved by the Organizer at any time during the Show. 2.3 Any later changes of the proposed Exhibits before the Showʼs opening must be communicated to the Organizer at least three (3) weeks before the Showʼs opening.

The Exhibitor shall be solely responsible for any consequences resulting from inaccurate information concerning an Exhibitʼs specifications and liable for any resulting ancillary costs, in particular those incurred by the Organizer and/or the Venue Owner. 3. AGREEMENT These Terms shall govern the application of Applicant, admission and subsequent provision of the Booth by the Organizer to the Exhibitor 3.1 to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions. A binding contract is formed between the Applicant/Exhibitor and the Organizer immediately upon signing by the Applicant of the Application Form. 3.2 Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms should not be modified unless in writing and signed by the Exhibitor and Organizer. 3.3 The Applicant and Exhibitor agrees that data pertaining to his participation may be processed by the Organizer and/or by third parties engaged by the Organizer and that said data may be forwarded by the Organizer to third parties commissioned by the Organizer to enable such parties to supply services required for the show. 4.
