Tomorrow Is An Island, as inland, a sinland

Thursday, 16.01.2020 – Saturday, 28.03.2020
Exhibition

How can the disruption of nature/culture binaries foster more-than-human entanglements? What kind of futures can we imagine in light of precarious migrations, securitised fears and asphyxiated commons? What cultures of care could be freshly fermented amidst racialized divisions? Tomorrow Is An Island, as inland, a sinland, is an artist-led project that brings together four artists and two writers from Singapore and Switzerland to rethink ideas of systemic change, counter-map traditional ideas of boundaries and envision new forms of assemblage.

Concert by Jazz Duo Lindermann and Treboux

Wednesday, 10.04.2019 – Wednesday, 10.04.2019
Concert

“Forty years separate these two exceptional musicians, but everything brings them together in music: Lindemann's energetics, lyricism and inventiveness, the sense of melodic phrasing and great instrumental technique in the young and incredible virtuoso Jeanlou Treboux. The taste that these two musicians have in common for beautiful melodies, whether from the pen of Lindemann, Jeanlou, Chick Corea or Gary Burton, make this duo a sound alchemy, poetic or energetic, which carries the listener in a dreamlike and colourful musical journey.” JazzTimes
