Notes

  • "Published on the occasion of the visual arts festival Nokia Singapore Art 1999, organised by National Arts Council, and National Heritage Board, 4 December 1999 - 30 January 2000"--T.p. verso.
  • "Nokia Art 1999 has three new features. First is the introduction of a theme, City/Community, which addresses issues of people, their identities and their environment, including physical space, city space and natural habitat. The second feature is the development of a new category, that is, a curated section which gives greater emphasis on Singapore’s contemporary art practices and involves artists in the critical interpretation of the them."--Liu Thai Ker, excerpt from foreword
