Amanda Heng is a full-time Art Practitioner. She adopts an interdisciplinary approach to her art practice. Her works deal with clashing of eastern and western values, traditions and gender roles in the context of a multi-cultural and fast-changing society of Singapore. Recently she focuses on the issues of communication and human relationships in urban condition, often working in collaboration with people from all fields (art and non art), especially people of different cultural backgrounds. Amanda was involved in founding the Artists’ Village, the first artists-run space in Singapore in 1988. She is also actively involved in conceptualizing, curating, organizing and participating in exhibitions and public forums, conducting workshops and lecturing in contemporary art.

ARTISTS
Amanda Heng
Kai Lam
Lee Wen

FADO Performance Art Centre is pleased to present an evening of performance from Singapore’s most influential contemporary performance artists, a cross-section of generations and approaches. From participatory to material-based—the work of these three artists traverses a range of approaches, often incorporating social and political commentary. 

Often audience-participatory in nature, Amanda Heng’s work mixes Eastern and Western values, traditions and gender roles. Kai Lam’s performance works are created in response to urban pluralistic society. And finally, Lee Wen’s performances and installations expose and question the ideologies and value systems of individuals, as well as social structures. 

Amanda Heng, Kai Lam and Lee Wen make their stop in Toronto in the midst of a North American tour which includes stops in Québec to perform at Le Lieu and New York City to perform at Grace Space.
