To get a better understanding of his practice as well as what performance art meant to him and his peers, we will look primarily at material from the Lee Wen Archive—the artist’s notebooks and sketchbooks, documentation of his projects, and his activities as an arts organiser.This programme is jointly organised by Asia Art Archive (AAA) and NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (NTU CCA Singapore). The Lee Wen Archive was digitised through a collaborative project initiated in 2017 by NTU CCA Singapore and AAA, with National Gallery Singapore as an additional partner, to give access to culturally significant materials recording the arts of Singapore and beyond.Register to receive the link to the Zoom Webinar.
