Shangri-La Art Podcast

Author: CHAN + HORI CONTEMPORARY Language: English Episodes: 32
Tune into the Shangri-La Art Podcast for intimate, extended conversations that pull back the curtain on contemporary art practice in Singapore and beyond. This series, presented by CHAN + HORI CONTEMPORARY, is hosted by the gallery's own curators, Khai Hori and Deborah Lim. Rather than a formal interview format, the podcast often unfolds through marathon live-streaming sessions-one memorable edition ran for sixteen hours straight from the gallery space-creating a raw and immediate atmosphere. You'll hear artists and cultural practitioners in deep dialogue, as in episodes featuring Ivan David Ng and Jay Ho, where they are joined by voices like curator Clara Peh and theatre director Lewin Benard. These discussions shed light on specific solo exhibitions and artworks, offering context and personal insight that you won't find on a gallery wall. Each episode is a deep dive into the creative process, the conceptual underpinnings of new work, and the vibrant ecosystem that supports it, such as events like Singapore ArtWeek. For anyone curious about the stories and people behind the art, this podcast provides a unique, unfiltered auditory space to engage with contemporary visual culture.
