| Title: | RETROSPECTIVE: A HISTORIOGRAPHICAL AESTHETIC IN CONTEMPORARY SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA | Authors: | JUNE YAP TECK CHENG | Keywords: | ART HISTORY, SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA | Issue Date: | 27-Nov-2014 | Citation: | JUNE YAP TECK CHENG (2014-11-27). RETROSPECTIVE: A HISTORIOGRAPHICAL AESTHETIC IN CONTEMPORARY SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | EXAMINING A SELECTION OF ARTWORKS PRODUCED BETWEEN 1991 AND 2012 BY ARTISTS IN SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA, THE THESIS IS BOTH AN ASCRIPTION AND AN ANALYSIS OF A `HISTORIOGRAPHICAL¿ AESTHETIC WITHIN CONTEMPORARY PRACTICE. IT CONSIDERS THAT, BY THEIR METHOD AND IN THEIR ASSEMBLY, THESE ARTWORKS PERFORM MORE THAN A REPRESENTATION OF A HISTORICAL PAST, TO INSTEAD CONFRONT HISTORY AS WELL AS ITS PRODUCTION. REFLECTING UPON THESE ARTWORKS, THE THESIS DISCUSSES THE NATURE OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHICAL UNDERTAKING POSSIBLE WITHIN AESTHETICS IN AN INTER-DISCIPLINARY MANNER: AS READ THROUGH THEORIES OF HISTORY, ART HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, AND AESTHETIC DISCOURSE. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/121610 |
