Cerebral. Investigative. Divine. Le Secret Sacré takes us on a journey of how seemingly disparate events coincide to become an artist's surprising and enlightening documentation of his encounter with Divine providence.

You are cordially invited to join us on our Facebook Live on Friday, 20 March 2020, for the exclusive worldwide preview of Priyageetha Dia’s upcoming solo exhibition, 'the earth and her skin' in the gallery’s room 1, followed by a tour of Guillaume Levy-Lambert’s 'Le Secret Sacré' in room 2.

Priyageetha Dia is an award-winning, Singaporean contemporary artist whose practice oscillates between the banality of lived spaces and the othered racialized body, simultaneously subverting with her gold alter ego. She is famously known for her works 'The Golden Staircase' in 2017 and 'Golden Flags' in 2018, which sparked great local discourse over topics of public art and vandalism.

Curated by Kimberly Shen, 'the earth and her skin' is a personal anthology of works presented by Dia, unearthing brownness through ritual, mysticism and the grotesque, featuring works that confront the epidermalisation of the brown body, consciously bridging the pervasive tensions between the identity of brownness and racial perception.

Discover conceptual artist/ art collector/ gallerist Guillaume Levy-Lambert's solo exhibition 'Le Secret Sacré' as he takes you on a journey beyond the secret door in room 1. You will be introduced to a fascinating story, a multi-sensory experience featuring works in an interdisciplinary and collaborative installation of medical imaging technologies, videography, music and scent.

We are proud to announce Priyageetha Dia’s ‘the earth and her skin’, curated by Kimberly Shen, at Art Porters Gallery from March 20 to May 3 2020. Happy International Women’s Day!
.
‘the earth and her skin’ is a personal anthology of works presented by Priyageetha Dia, unearthing brownness through ritual, mysticism and the grotesque. These works, created in the past two months, are derived from a place of raw, visceral power. Central to the exhibition is a portrait of Medusa, a symbol of female monstrosity and fury, painted in the artist’s likeness. While her rage manifests, like Medusa, she defiantly resists and seeks to be empowered. The artist harnesses the transformative potential of brown anger in a series of objects, emblematic as literary symbols between the private/public, body/space, and castration/desire. Alluding to feminine flesh, the latex works confront the epidermalisation of the brown body, consciously bridging the pervasive tensions between the identity of browness and racial perception, with desire, fetishisation and the grotesque. RSVP link is in bio.
.
In light of the COVID-19 situation, the opening event is spread out over five time slots on Saturday, 21 March 2020, and attendance is capped at 20 pax per time slot. Temperature checks will be carried out at the door and entry will be denied to visitors with fever.

Ahimasha, 2019-2020, Type C print, hand coloured photo, H100 x W100 cm (second image)

Curator Tessa Maria Guazon together with Emmanuel Tolentino Santos when they met a few months ago to be briefed about the forthcoming exhibition which opens Wednesday — now we can tell Tessa who was not so familiar with Emmanuel’s work has become a big fan!
-
“The world is spectrally sublime in Emmanuel’s photographs. It has to do with the way his images are framed and constructed by way of technique but as important, is a mode of itinerancy that speaks as much of what is outside it, an ‘out of field’ that refers to possibilities beyond the photographic image itself.”
— Excerpt from an essay by Tessa, which you can also read in the catalogue on our website.

Emmanuel Tolentino Santos, Salinas, 2019-2020, Type C print, hand coloured photo, H120 x W120 cm
-
“Emmanuel Santos probes the densely layered aspects of photographic practice, skilfully employing metaphor through photographic composition and technique as he follows the trails of slowly disappearing places and peoples whose long held traditions are threatened: the habitants of what would soon be a lost world.”
— Excerpt from an essay by Tessa Maria Guazon, who curated last year’s Philippines pavilion in Venice.

Looking forward to being in Manila next week! View the catalogue and read Tessa’s essay ‘Witness to a Lost World’ at our website.
