HURTING EACH OTHER – THE CARPENTERS
Special Offer
No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
(*) we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Closer than the leaves
On a weepin willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters a and b are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
Repeat (*)
(**) cant we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each others heart
Tearing each other apart
Repeat (**)

STUART: Show your art to the world
The Saatchi Gallery would like to invite you to join STUART – the world’s largest free online Student Art gallery
Following the success of Saatchi Online – our online exhibition space for professional artists with over 40,000 registered artists – we have launched this new section of the site dedicated to Art Students from around the world.
The STUART site, which already has profiles of 20,000 art students from around the world, allows each individual to have their own page to display their work. The aim is provide a free forum for you to showcase your art and make connections with other students, dealers, curators and collectors from around the world.
Registering for and using the site is a free service, with no costs involved at all.
We have heard numerous success stories from students who have been invited to exhibit at international exhibitions and art fairs and who have been approached through the site by collectors from around the world interested in their work.
This year works by artists in STUART have appeared in numerous newspaper and magazine features about the site.
By registering with STUART students are also able to enter our SHOWDOWN section of the site, where artists can upload their work for viewers to vote on. The overall winner of the Showdown receives £1000 prize money and the runner up £750 and the winning works will go on display when the new Saatchi Gallery opens in Chelsea London in 2008. A new round of SHOWDOWN is about to start if you wish to enter.
We hope that the STUART site will enable you to network with other students from around the world, to share your inspiration and ideas, thus strengthening your work during your time at college. We also hope it will provide a unique method of networking with those outside your college to help unite young artists as they venture into the professional art world.
You can include up to 50 images in your portfolio and add information about your interests, favourites and hobbies and images of Art work’s you like. You can also choose your privacy setting on the site allowing your profile to be viewed by everyone or only by your friends or those from your university / college or city. You also decide how much of your page people can see; ranging from just your work, to your whole profile.

Installation art commission
Installation art commission
by 31.03.2008
by 31.03.2008
Details:
I have a beautiful empty space in my shophouse screaming out to be filled with some installation art.
I am in the process of converting my ground floor into a private gallery space with a focus on local Singaporian contemporary art where I intend to use half the space for rotating installation art pieces. I can’t offer the sun and the moon but happy to stump up for materials and modest commission as well as the space to showcase your art (admittedly to a small audience as its my private residence, but with regular parties for the like minded & sometimes well connected or well off it’s an opportunity nonetheless).
If you think this is a great idea and keen to have a go, contact me below telling me a bit about you and your art

Corpus Callosum by Michael Snow
Corpus Callosum by Michael Snow
Who: Kenneth Feinstein & Post-Museum
Where: Back Room, Post-Museum. 107+109 Rowell Road
When: 12.02.2008 Tue 08.00pm
What: We are repeating this again as many of you couldn’t make it to the previous screening.
Michael Snow is recognized as one of the most important experimental filmmakers, as well as an accomplished visual artist and musician.
*Corpus Callosum, the film (or tape, or projected light work), is constructed of, de-picts, creates, examines, presents, consists of, and is, ‘betweens.’ Between beginning and ending, between ‘natural’ and ‘artificial,’ between fiction and fact, between hearing and seeing, between 1956 and 2002. It’s a tragi-comedy of the cinematic variables. *Corpus Callosum juxtaposes or counterpoints a realism of normal metamorphosis (two extreme examples: pregnancy, explosions) in believable, ‘real’ interior spaces with ‘impossible’ shape changes (some made possible with digital animation).
Entrance fee: Pay what you want (recommended amt: $5).
This is a private screening with limited seats. So please RSVP.

Always Here But Not Always Present: Art in a Senseless World
Always Here But Not Always Present: Art in a Senseless World
Who: Ho Tzu Nyen, Khiew Huey Chian, Jane Lee, Hazel Lim and Michael Tan, Lim Tzay Chuen, Donna Ong, Ana Prvacki, Sunsook Roh, Zainudin Samsuri, Ian Woo, Joshua Yang, Ye Shufang
Where: Works are located at various sites throughout SMU campus
When: 18.01.2008 Fri 10.00am till 29.02.2008
What: This exhibition features specially commissioned works by 13 local artists and examines the role of art in contemporary society.
In a media-saturated world where we have become anesthetised, due to our experience of the ever-changing myriad of images each day, the exhibition shows us how art can bring us back in touch with our senses and make us feel again. In so doing, it further analyses the social role of art in an imperfect world. And as the title suggests, the site-specific works in the exhibition will also highlight how we do not have to look too far to experience art in our daily lives. That it can always be found around us, if only we take a moment to stop and take notice.
