The TAV Art History Klub is a group inquiry on current art exhibitions and practices. The art history club connects on both online and in-person platforms to collectively survey the country’s kaleidoscopic cultural scene through many threads of open art thoughts. This art history club aims to spur casual opinions, share resources of interest, and review art developments in Singapore. TAV envisions this art history club as an accessible space where assorted voices participate in a mesh of localised art commentaries.
TAV-AHK Christmas Party
A night full of friends and Nicholas’ chicken wings. We had art talks by Jireh Koh, Bruce Quek, and Eunice Lacaste. The night went rowdy as Woon Tien Wei facilitated his Art Quiz with his homemade buzzer drowned by discussion of historical facts. Everyone was happy as we continued to exchange artworks as holiday gifts.
