This year we start the magazine with some materials from two publications from 2007. FOCAS published its final issue last year — its 6th volume, on Regional Animalities — and we publish the speeches from the launch event. Editor Lucy Davis talks about the contents and concerns of FOCAS 6, guest of honour Sharon Siddique reflects on the whole FOCAS project, and Audrey Wong makes a statement about The Substation’s policy on using animals in art. Also online is a PDF version of Article: the SAS Companion. In 2007, along with AICA Singapore, we published a newspaper dedicated to covering the Singapore Art Show. This year, we plan a new edition to cover the second Singapore Biennale, which opens in September. Look out for Article: the SB2008 Companion.
