international performance art event

12th to 15th November 2008

Venue: Sculpture Square. 155 Middle Road, S188977 Singapore

"The Future of Imagination", a time based, performance art event was first held at the Substation on 6 December 2003. Given the limited budget and other intrinsic conditions of the local art scene, we are proud to say that the event was a considerable success. We would like to reiterate our concerns and aspirations to reinvigorate a positive situation for performance art and time-based art practitioners in Singapore. Our aims remain to significantly re-define and to kindle interests as well as promote the visibility of the practice of performance art and time-based art.
