【Panel】From "Dear You" to Multi- and Trans-Culturalism in Southeast Asian Ink Painting

From "Dear You" to Multi- and Trans-Culturalism in Southesst Asian Ink Painting

Taking the solo exhibition Ink Becoming of Fujian artist Chen Hanqing, as a starting point, this forum explores how modern and contemporary ink art is reinterpreted within the cultural landscape of Southeast Asia.

As ink painting moves across regions and cultures, how do tradition, local identity, and cross-cultural exchange shape its evolving language?

The discussion brings together Kwok Kian Chow, Founding Director of the Singapore Art Museum and art historian; Dr. Cui Yi, scholar of Southeast Asian art and modern ink art; and Audrey Zhang, Director of Prestige Gallery, to examine the relationship between tradition and innovation, locality and mobility, and the future of ink art in Southeast Asia.

Speakers

Kwok Kian Chow | Art Historian, Writer, Curator, Founding Director of Singapore Art Museum

Dr. Cui Yi | Art Historian and University Lecturer; PhD, Universiti Sains Malaysia

Audrey Zhang | Director, Prestige Gallery (Moderator)

We warmly welcome artists, collectors, researchers, and the public to join this conversation on the evolving role of ink art in Southeast Asia.

从《阿嬷的情书》谈到东南亚水墨里的多元与跨文化

以福建青年艺术家陈汉青的个展 《墨生长》 为起点，本场论坛将探讨当代水墨在东南亚文化语境中的发展与演变。

水墨作为一种具有深厚历史传统的艺术媒介，在跨越地域、文化与时代的过程中，不断生成新的语言与观看方式。当它进入新加坡及东南亚这一多元文化交汇的区域，如何与不同的历史经验、文化身份及艺术实践展开对话？我们又该如何重新理解“当代水墨”“南洋”与“跨文化”等概念？

本次论坛将邀请新加坡美术馆创馆馆长、资深美术史学家郭建超、东南亚艺术研究教授与现代水墨研究学者崔怡、品艺画廊主张鹤馨从不同角度展开交流，围绕传统与当代、地方性与跨区域流动，以及东南亚水墨艺术的多元发展进行深入讨论。思考水墨如何突破既有边界，在不同文化之间建立新的连接，并为当代艺术带来更多可能性。

对谈嘉宾：

郭建超｜艺术史学者、策展人、新加坡美术馆创馆馆长

崔怡｜艺术史学者、大学教授、马来西亚理科大学博士

张鹤馨｜品艺画廊画廊主(主持人）

欢迎艺术爱好者、收藏家、研究者及公众参与，共同探索东南亚水墨艺术在多元文化背景下的发展与未来。
