The Opening Ceremony & Performance of Future Bodies of Asia was held at JCC (Japan Creative Centre) on Saturday, 20 May. The event started off with opening remarks by Deputy Chief of Mission, JCC Acting Director Mr Naohiro Tsutsumi and the Co-Director of Snow Contemporary and curator for this exhibition Mr Kenji Kubota. The audience were then treated to an eccentric joint performance between Singapore and Japanese artists featuring Mr Yuen Chee Wai and Ms Yasuko Sasaki.

Joint performance by Ms Yasuko Sasaki, Mr Yuen Chee Wai and off-Nibroll appealed to the human senses and at the same time pushing the boundary of contemporary art.

This performance was attended by over 30 guests, and among them were Mr Ong Keng Sen, Artistic Director of TheatreWorks and Tay Tong, Managing Director of TheatreWorks.

The exhibition which included the works of Atsuhiro Ito, off-Nibroll and Fuyuki Yamakawa, took place from 20th May till 3rd June, and saw many visitors come down to experience it firsthand with their very own interpretation.
