[event] Deepest Sympathies & Synonyms // 19th Oct 2011 @ 15 Minutes Cafe

In this exhibition, artist-duo Seelan Palay & Shikin Ali apply a newly developed visual ensemble to reflect on the chronic dichotomy of Singapore's social structures.

The exploration into both the artists' approaches to the portrayal of the evolving civic system lent itself to the stylistic application and conceptual framework in the created set of drawings, installations, collages and photographs. The eventual works displayed in the exhibition are the shared products of both artists, intertwined in form and intellection.

By visually translating the relativity between Singapore's public memory, social landscape, critical discourse and modern history, the artists seek to portray the paradox of power and experience in the island state.

[tour] Coche Bomba (FR) SE Asia Tour (Oct/Nov 2011)

COCHE BOMBA: five jerks from Lyon (France) starting playing fast, violent and distorted hardcore-punk at the beginning of the 90's. Not that they were ahead of their time, but their quirky sound, machine-gun drumming, odd tempo changes, were not that common by French standards back then. Instead of following trends or imitating bands, they developed their own musical approach. Lyrics, alternatively sung in French, English and Spanish deal mostly with socio-political issues.

They have been all over the place; US, Mexico, South America, their native European fronts and now they'll be here. Some of you old-school hardcore punkers must be shitting your pants!

Brought to you by 7x0x7, details for the Singapore show will be coming soon. Get ready to thrash!
