We are currently looking for a dedicated individual to join our small but highly dedicated team, as a Marketing/PR executive. Candidates must have a keen interest in the arts (but not necessarily experience working in the arts) and a great desire to help raise the profile of The Substation, Singapore’s first independent arts centre. Flexibility, an ability to think laterally and a willingness to learn are key – the position might involve creating a marketing campaign on a shoestring, to welcoming foreign dignitaries, to stuffing envelopes!

Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore (ICAS) presents the sequel to Berita Harian 2003, Berita Harian 2 – Utusan Melayu; the surreal, the contemporeal, the cosmoreal. The seminal exhibition which was curated by Khairuddin Hori in 2003 is deemed at present as a ‘point of departure’ for contemporary Malay art – an avant-garde representation of Malay artists who dealt with issues of identity, the intersection of communities and ethnographical stereotypes. Berita Harian 2 – Utusan Melayu; the surreal, the contemporeal, the cosmoreal is also an attempt to initiate a legacy of artistic platforms reflective to the study of ‘Malayness’. Details

Here’s wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for all your support in 2009 and we’ll be in touch again in the new year with exciting news of events happening in 2010!
