Fresh Takes challenges these artists to engage with Singapore’s history. Each has been asked to select an artwork or item from Singapore’s National Collection and respond to it using his or her own visual language. In doing so, these artist will create entirely new works that will invariably speak of their own time and place.

Benjamin Hampe, Director of Chan Hampe Galleries, says, “By interacting with the collection in this way, it is hoped the artists will be inspired to discover new ways of working and find alternate narratives to explore within their own practice, and viewers will consider new ways of looking at these national treasures. ”
