TheBearProject Charity Art Show - The Auction Continues

The organizing committee of the TheBearProject Charity Art Show would like to thank you for taking time off to come to our event last Saturday. Your presence helped make our big “coming out” event at Singapore’s Indignation festival a big success. The auction of art works raised more than $5,700 for The Necessary Stage’s Triangle Project as well as a number of other charities.

If you still considering buying pieces from the show, you can view some of them below and bidding is open until the end of September. Half of the proceeds will still go to Necessary Stage's - The Triangle Project and the other half will be equally divided and donated anonymously to The Straits Times-School Pocket Money Fund, Assisi Hospice and NANAS (Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary).

TheBearProject has only been up and running for a year, and the group is truly grateful for the enormous support it has received from local gay community sites like Fridae and Trevvy, fellow gay groups and members of the gay community like yourselves. With your continuing support, we hope to contribute even more in the years to come.

So thank you all once again!

best regards,
Organizing Committee of TheBearProject Charity Art Show

"Gattaca" by Heman Chong

Heman – a Malaysian raised in Singapore - received his M.A in Communication Art & Design from The Royal College of Art, London in 2002. His art practice involves an investigation into the philosophies, reasons and methods of individuals and communities imagining the future. Charged with a conceptual drive, this research is then adapted into objects, images, installations, situations or texts.

His current research dwells on the representation of imposed solitary situations within the genres of sci-fi and fantasy seen through the psychological characterizations of The Hide-away, The Cast-away and The Prisoner. For this event-specific contribution, Heman asked a member of TheBearProject to name his favourite science fiction film and designed a film poster around the answer.
