Foreword by SAM Director

Kwok Kian Chow

Director, Singapore Art Museum

Inaugurated in 1962, Angkatan Pelukis Aneka Daya, also known as

Apad, is one of Singapore’s most established art associations. Apad:

Tradition, Innovation and Continuity is the association’s 34th largescale

art exhibition. The exhibition also marks the association’s 46th

anniversary and celebrates the achievements over four decades.

Apad has now grown into a thriving community of 71 artist members.

The exhibition Tradition, Innovation and Continuity draws together

works done by past and present Apad members and associates, forming

a link from the 1960s till current time. This exhibition represents an

effort by Apad to chart the art association’s history, and also to share

with the public the artistic evolution of their current members. Works

by pioneer Malay artists such as M Sawoot A Rahman and Aman bin

Ahmad will be on display, alongside the younger members of the

association. The anniversary is also an appropriate occasion to showcase

the association’s collection of archival materials, including old

newspaper clippings and exhibition catalogues.

Tradition, Innovation and Continuity not only plays an important role

in bringing together the many generations of Apad members and supporters;

it also serves to raise awareness of the association’s work.

In its long history, Apad has contributed greatly to the promotion

and development of the art scene in Singapore. The association has

organised many significant activities in the past, such as the Pingat

Apad art award scheme, started in 1974 and awarded locally to artists

who have significantly contributed to the development of the visual

art field in Singapore. Previous recipients of this award include some

of Singapore’s best known artists – Liu Kang, Cheong Soo Pieng, and

Georgette Chen. Apad is also active in the field of art education with

its TUNAS Children Art Programme which seeks to nurture the artistic

abilities of the young.

My colleagues and I at the Singapore Art Museum would like to congratulate

Apad’s on its achievements, and we are proud to collaborate

with Apad in presenting this significant show.


4 Apad Tradition, Innovation & Continuity

Foreword by Apad President

Suhaimi Sukiyar

Apad President

The only Malay visual art society that has withstood for more than 4

decades, Angkatan Pelukis Aneka Daya or widely known as Apad has

been playing an active role in providing opportunities in garnering

the young Malay-Muslim art practitioners to the art scenes locally

and internationally.

Back in 1990 when I first joined Apad, I was just an art student eager to

be included in the art scene. For me, it has been indeed a privilege to

be able to showcase my artistic talent through exhibitions organised,

sharing at art workshops and coffee talks with better known artists

such as Mr Abdul Ghani Hamid, Mr S. Mohdir, Mr Abdul Rahman Rais

and the late Mr Mohammad Din Mohammad.

It has indeed been an inspirational journey, filled with awesome and

memorable experiences that made me realise art is not just about

brushes and canvas. There is more to art. It is about sharing ideas, understanding

different media and most importantly networking.

Apad has taught me that what I become is more important than what

I have accomplished. I am proud to say that I have grown with Apad

and it has indeed nurtured my confidence and guided me to be more

than just a practising artist.

Throughout the many years I have dedicated to Apad, I have witnessed

many constructive changes catering to the needs of its members. Apad

is now more open to members from diverse disciplines such as art and

event managers and administrators, film-makers, performance artists,

designers, art editors and curators into its family.

For me, Apad has evolved and passed from its pioneer to the younger

generation of today. Despite the generation gap and odds, needs and

changes and exposure to different ideas, the young and old are still

able to work together closely in making Apad a stronger visual art

society than before.

Hence, Apad is honoured to be given an opportunity to be invited to

showcase its first exhibition at Singapore Art Museum. It is a celebration

of its 46 years of achievement of its artistic pursuit. A collaborative

effort between Apad and Singapore Art Museum, this exhibition aims

to highlight the historical development of Apad and yet promises an

exhilarating body of works from diverse medium such as multimedia

and installation arts. Besides showcasing art work from the pioneers

to the younger generation, the exhibition is also dedicated to its former

and late members, whose past contributions to Apad should not

be forgotten.

On behalf of Apad, I would like to congratulate all working committees

and participants who are involved in making this exhibition a

memorable and exciting milestone. I would also like to thank the

families of our late artists for their generous support in lending the

artworks for the exhibition.

Curator’s note

Apad Curatorial Team

When the curators of the Singapore Art Museum proposed this exhibition

to Apad, it generated a lot of excitement and interest from the

association’s members. From the senior and established ones to the

young and promising, they were eager to be part of a milestone event

in the association’s history. An exhibition such as this is few and far

between as it is a big-scale event held in a premier art space. As cocurators

appointed by the association, we were given the responsibility

to primarily, conceptualise the exhibition, and subsequently,

select artworks spanning a period of forty-six years from every member

of the association.

The curatorial team worked in stages. First, to conceptualise the

exhibition, and second, to set its objectives, which are to reflect the

history of the association, document its present situation and chart

the trajectory of its future. Considering these objectives, the team

decided to present the exhibition in two parts: a historical overview

and a contemporary section.

The historical overview is delivered through the works of artists who

have in the past made a mark in the Singapore and international art

scene as well as within the history of the association. This component

of the exhibition includes documents and recordings of Apad’s activities,

events and publications extracted from the association’s archives.

The contemporary section is intended to broadly represent current

members, former members and artists who are affiliated with the

association through collaborated projects and activities. This section

consists of artworks drawn from this wide group and selected by the

curatorial team.

All artworks were chosen based on the criteria that they were technically

proficient, refreshing in ideas, innovative in the ways they are

presented and expressing emotions that are genuine and readily

shared by the community. As half of the exhibition consists of works

sourced from the family of deceased former members, it was a challenge

to locate some works as well as contact their custodians.

At the end of the selection process, we have a collection of artworks

that reflects the association’s philosophy and its members. Apad

consists of diverse practitioners who paint, sculpt, install, assemble,

or simply create images through various mediums and materials. We

believe that we have selected artworks that best express the ideas

and aspirations of the artists, be they recent art-school graduates,

self-taught individuals or seasoned practitioners. This exhibition is

an opportunity for participating artists to challenge themselves to

produce works that exceed those in previous years. It is important

for them to stay abreast and recognise that they can only achieve

success through hard work. There are no short cuts.

This exhibition is a fair reflection of art produced within the

association, whose members come from a wide variety of backgrounds

and disciplines, ideas and ideals. For the association to

reach the next level, it is depending on every member to persevere,

show commitment and contribute at a level that sufficiently and

accurately portrays the association’s collective sensibility. When this

is achieved, the association would then be ready to line up a new

generation of promising members eager to contribute to local art

and also take on the world.


6 Apad Tradition, Innovation & Continuity

SAM Curator notes

Ong Zhen Min

Assistant Curator, Singapore Art Museum

The term ‘tradition’ is usually defined as a set of practices transmitted

across different generations, whereas ‘innovation’ is described

as the act of introducing the new. Although general usage of these

two words often sees them positioned as oppositional terms, they

can in fact be said to share several similar points. Tradition is sometimes

viewed as passive and unchanging, but in reality, the passing

of traditional values from one generation to the next is an active

and eclectic process in which customs and ideas from the previous

generation are shifted through and assimilated – sometimes in new

ways – by the next generation. Innovation, while espousing the new,

rarely operates independently but arises when one attempts to transcend

old boundaries.

In trying to understand this relationship between tradition and innovation,

and also how ideas are passed from the past to the present,

the curators of this exhibition have adopted the display strategy of

juxtaposing the works of the pioneer Malay artists with their younger

contemporaries. Tradition, Innovation and Continuity offers us

several entry points into this discussion. First, the exhibition gives

us the chance to re-examine the roles the older artists have played in

developing Singapore art, and also opens up discourse on how their

works may serve to stimulate fresh tangents of thought and art practices

in the next generation of artists. Second, the exhibition allows

us to appreciate the role of new media techniques and subject matter

utilised by the younger artists during the conceptualisation and

execution of their artwork. As reflected in the exhibition works, the

increasing diversity in both technique and subject matter of recent

works forms an interesting study of how the changing environment

and concerns of the Malay artists working in Singapore have influenced

their works to date.

Each generation of artists responds to the works of the previous

generation, in either studying its methods, or attempting to break

away and form new grounds. How an artist adheres to, or diverges

from, a set of practices and ideals is telling of certain affective

changes in circumstances and mindsets, and which in turn, informs

our overall understanding of the works produced. Tradition, Innovation

and Continuity forms a critical meeting point for the Apad artists

of different age groups to examine each other’s thoughts and processes,

and also serves as an overall survey of the development of the

association as a whole from the past to the present.
