Wan Qing Yuan Remembered (回首重话晚晴园)
In this talk, the curators shared their experience of conceptualising and developing the exhibition at Wan Qing Yuan, as well as new discoveries unearthed in this process, a journey of the history of the local Chinese community.
The Speaker's Bio from webby :
Lynn Lee graduated from the Nanyang Techological University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Studies. Her thesis, a historical study of The Amateur Players, is an effort to record the development of performing arts in Singapore. Lynn has been working on the redevelopment project of the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, as well as the Wayang Gallery. In 2012, she will be embarking on a special exhibition of the Cultural Medallionist playright Kuo Pao Kun.
Sung Yun-wen is currently responsible for the curation of the Food Gallery and overseeing the restoration of the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall. In 2010, she curated an exhibition titled “Silent Coercion: Sumatra’s East Coast through a Colonial Lens”. A doctoral candidate in the History of Art and Visual Studies at Cornell University, her research focuses on the cultural biographies of Chinese commodities and objects circulated in Southeast Asia, as they experienced different “lives” through the flow of trade and commerce.
In the earlier stage of the talk, its abit boring due to the halfway sit in. But there the interesting parts starts ... quite informative & let us know more abt who Sun Yat Sen is & who is involve in.....
Lots of screens & photos for our satisfactory too .. The exhibition starts tomorrow .. wonder when i will hv the time there for a look... :P
