Singapore Art Week 2018—Exhibition tour of ‘Tremble Tremble’ led by Shubigi Rao

Join Shubigi Rao for a tour of Tremble Tremble.

Shubigi Rao is a visual artist and writer whose varied interests include constructed histories, the consolidation of authority through language and culture, the control of knowledge generation and access, and resistance against these historical and contemporary oppressions. She is currently working on Pulp: A short biography of the banished book, a ten-year film and book project about library and book destruction, open access, civil disobedience in the history of print, and the writing of these phenomena in the margins.

In Tremble Tremble, Irish artist Jesse Jones transforms the ICA Singapore’s largest gallery into a multimedia installation which reimagines feminist history and institutions of law. The exhibition title is inspired by the 1970s Italian ‘Wages for Housework’ campaign, during which women chanted Tremate, tremate, le streghe sono tornate! (Tremble, tremble, the witches have returned!). In Tremble Tremble, Jones introduces the witch as a feminist archetype and disrupter who has the potential to transform reality.

The production of Tremble Tremble at the 57th Venice Biennale was an initiative of Culture Ireland in partnership with the Arts Council of Ireland. Producer: Project Arts Centre. Principal Sponsor: Dublin Port Company. International Partner: LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. Production Partner: Institute of Art, Design + Technology (IADT).
