Bread & Butter in a Field of Dreams: A Workshop Facilitated by Debbie Ding | Peatix tag:peatix.com,2011:1 2021-11-15T13:13:17+08:00 Peatix Singapore Art Museum Bread & Butter in a Field of Dreams: A Workshop Facilitated by Debbie Ding tag:peatix.com,2021:event-1893973 2021-06-06T14:00:00SGT 2021-06-06T14:00:00SGT As a “one woman 3D development team” (who also has a full-time day job and a small baby), Debbie Ding started building a colossal solo gallery. With a plan to cover it with images of her past works from wall to wall, it is reminiscent of the national pavilions seen at the Venice Biennale. Over time, Ding turns the works into portals through which one can enter into parallel universes, where the works can expand into alternate readings of themselves. The "autobiographical" stories told are a mix of fact and fiction. As an artist experimenting with different media, but working mainly with digital media, what does it mean to digitise one’s work? Held in the Wikicliki exhibition space, Ding will stage a series of conversations with invited members of the public that explore what the process of what presenting artworks in the digital form is like in a time of the pandemic and social distancing. What sorts of “translation” are required? What role does tech literacy play in this exchange? What exactly is gained or lost in the progress of our digital selves?[Bread & Butter in a Field of Dreams was originally named The Legend of Debbie Ding]About Debbie Ding Debbie Ding (DBBD.SG) is a visual artist and technologist who researches and explores technologies of perception through personal investigations and experimentation. Prototyping is used as a conceptual strategy for artistic production, iteratively exploring potential dead-ends and breakthroughs–as they would be encountered by amateur archaeologists, citizen scientists, and machines programmed to perform roles of cultural craftsmanship–in the pursuit of knowledge. DBBD received a BA in English Literature from the National University of Singapore and, as a recipient of the NAC Arts Scholarship (Postgraduate), an MA in Design Interactions from the Royal College of Art, London. She has had solo exhibitions at The Substation Gallery, Singapore (2010) and Galerie Steph, Singapore (2013). Notable group exhibitions include “President’s Young Talents” (Singapore Art Museum, 2018); “After the Fall” (National Museum of Singapore, 2017); Singapore Biennale (2016); Radio Malaya (NUS Museum, 2016); Unearthed (Singapore Art Museum, 2014); Engaging Perspectives: New Art from Singapore (NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, 2013); Primavera (Immanence, Paris, 2012).
