NeoFolk Asian contemporary art show in Singapore, January 15 - March 1, 2014

Our NeoFolk exhibition has its 2nd installment at Ikkan gallery, Helutrans bldg, opening January 14th for Art Stage Singapore.
With Clear Edition Tokyo and Kult Singapore.

NeoFolk2 explores the work of artists in Asia who have been rediscovering their roots and traditional crafts, by remixing and creating images inspired by their heritage.
These artists use the same visual language of their ancestors to create a commentary on contemporary Asian culture and society.
This multimedia exhibition gets under the surface of living in modern Asia. We see this form of visual expression as a search for identity, a desire to rework heritage in order to shape the future.

NeoFolk South East Asian contemporary art show at Cutlog Paris art fair, Oct19-23

Response at the Cutlog art fair Oct19-23 to our NeoFolk showing has been amazing.

















Our NeoFolk show, by Clear Edition gallery, was by far the most popular amongst visitors and exhibitors alike. People and media were grateful to discover and learn about contemporary art that wasn't conceptual or commercial pop art, but fresh, original, narrative, and immediately accessible.

















Feedback on the artworks was a mix of wonder and joy for such uniqueness, talent, dedication and craftsmanship.

Kult magazine's NeoFolk catalogs went out like hot cakes, opening visitors' eyes to a new realm of creation.
They were distributed to hot spots around Paris, galleries, shops and bars.

Cutlog director Bruno Hadjadj introduced us to French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand at the launch of the Paris international contemporary art fair on October19th, and gave him the Kult # NeoFolk issue.



Syan aka MC Yan's live mural and hip hop performance was a blast, astonishing everyone at the Arte prize party on Oct21st.


Multiple connections were made, for future exhibitions across various art centres, galleries and curators in Paris, Marseille, Nice, Belgium, London and Naples.
The Cutlog team has been very supportive, giving us the best, central spot in the fair, and introducing our works to his network of collectors, curators and media.
Many thanks to Steve and Zarani at Kult for publishing the beautiful NeoFolk issue.

Artists exhibiting were:

Syan aka MC Yan from Hong Kong: live graffiti painting and hip hop
