On 13 October 2014, students of the MA Asian Art Histories Programme made a field trip to the Centre for Contemporary Art, Gillman Barracks, where Koh Nguang How has been invited to do his residency. Koh has the largest repository of archival materials relating to Singapore art dating to the 1950s. These materials include newspapers, exhibition catalogues, ephemera, audio recordings and photographs.
The students were given a tour by their own peer, Marie Mol (front, centre), who is a trained Singapore Art Museum docent and a guide at Art Stage.
There were also opportunities to meet the artists themselves.
