Open Call Starts Now!!! - Singapore International Photography Festival 2010
In 2008, Singapore International Photography Festival attracted a whopping 6,600 public submissions of photographic work from photographers around the world. 12% of the total submissions were the most outstanding prints, which were shortlisted and exhibited across Singapore. The submissions were not restricted to any fixed subject or theme but selected works were grouped according to various themes by the Festival’s four curators.
Now, the 2nd SIPF 2008 commences with two categories for open call. The open-ended theme category continues with the purpose of unearthing new works and talents. This year’s festival incorporates a brand new themed category titled, ‘HUMAN: NATURE’ to address universal concerns faced by the world. The duality in the theme can be freely interpreted either as ‘Human Nature’ or ‘Human & Nature’. The ‘colon’ represents a relationship and a balanced ratio between Human and Nature. Thematically, this category is an ambitious call for creative interpretation on HUMAN: NATURE.

I MISS HIM SO MUCH : Our Hearts For Yours
Art Charity Fundraiser
Opens to public from 30 September - 12 october 2009
"I miss him so much"
Five small words that together, tell a heart-wrenching story of a mother who has lost a beloved son. A son who thought there was no other avenue for him to take, except to give his beating, living soul to the one who gave him life, so she and others he loved might find their way out of the predicament they were in.
I Miss Him So Much
Five words that stand for hope and promise of a better future, through the provision of school boarding facilities for the children of rural Sabah. Words that demonstrate the collective will, compassion and care of those who seek a better life not just for themselves, but for those less privileged than they. Words that say, "Never again."
Asrama Donni
Asrama Donni is a hostel currently under construction in Kiulu, Sabah that will house 100 students so they don't have to walk daily through the jungle for up to 4 hours to get to school. This art sale is one of several initiatives to raise the RM251,000 that is needed to complete the hostel. It stands for one less concern that the underprivileged rural students of Kiulu, Sabah need to face; a stronger foothold that they can stand on to face the challenges of their lives tomorrow. Works from celebrated Malaysian artists including Awang Damit, Fauzin Mustafa, Wong Seng Tong, Romli Mahmud, Rafiee Ghani, MATAHATI, Fauzul Yusri and Jasmine Kok will be sold to help raise funds for Asrama Donni.
For its part, Galeri Chandan will host the artwork and donate all proceeds due to the gallery towards the construction and completion of Asrama Donni.
