readabout their past Project:

Each with two decades of arts management experience, Gabrielle Cummins and Simone Lourey have joined forces to create a new arts event company in Singapore – Australasian Arts Projects. The Utopia Story is their first project. Combing their skills and interests, Gabrielle and Simone have established Australasian Arts Company to encourage the growth of the arts in Singapore, and beyond.

Having met whilst completing their fine art and literature degrees at the University of Melbourne, Gabrielle and Simone graduated to professional careers in marketing, public relations and events management in the arts industry. Their experience lies in publishing, performing and visual arts in Australia and with Simone, in Asia as well. Currently residing in Singapore, Gabrielle and Simone have an interest in contemporary art and, specifically related to this project, an awareness of the need to educate people about the social and political context of the Australian aboriginal art movement.

For Gabrielle and Simone, the genesis of The Utopia Story lies in the recognition that much of the growing industry of aboriginal art ignores this political context - that is, generations of misunderstandings, sometime abuse, neglect and still, in many areas, underprivileged existence. It must be recognised that the production of artwork coveted and consumed by the general public is one of the few ways in which Aboriginal people can express their culture to the wider world, and to make a livelihood for themselves. Simone and Gabrielle anticipate that The Utopia Story will provide this important context.

The Utopia Story was held in Gabrielle’s historic black and white house at 303 Tanglin Road.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
