Danny Ford is a multidisciplinary artist, working within self imposed parameters of Painting Projects, Sculpture Projects and Image Capture Projects (video, film, photomedia). Ford’s artwork is process based, and concerned with the application of tactics and procedures to existing forms. Within this ongoing investigation, Ford’s practice operates as enquiry into the historical role of the art object, and the function of the contemporary artist.

“I am interested in how we perceive space and form. How from the macro scale right down to the micro, certain forms visually reoccur throughout the universe. Similar to this idea of space and materiality, I’m interested in experimenting with the visual paradox between imagery that is digital and geometric yet organic and raw. The actual process of digitising a physical piece of material via the use of a scanner further perpetuates the conceptual boundaries between the tangible and the digital.”

Kai Syng Tan / Kadie
Described as ‘one of Singapore’s leading video artists’ by curator Dr Eugene Tan, Kai Syng Tan is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist, curator and art educator. She is an insatiable tourist-consumer-hoarder who scavenges the surrounding clutter of signs/noise; as a compulsive editor she chews up and re-maps the found fragments into densely-layered works that question our ‘realities’ of the here and now.
Be it installation, short films, text or performance, Kai Syng’s work is fiercely personal but always at a critical distant, with an urgency laced with self-reflexivity. Her work has been shown in more than 40 cities, including the Guangzhou Triennale, Biennale of Sydney, ASK Gallery in Tokyo and the ICA in London. Kai has also won several awards and grants (San Francisco International Film Festival New Visions Video Merit award, Young Artist Award, The Most Promising Young Artist Award at age 18, Merit Award at the Philippe Charriol Painting Competition at 17), and has a large permanent video installation in a subway station in Singapore, commissioned by the Land Transport Authority.
