Sculpting Her World: The art of Dora Gordine at National Gallery Singapore

As part of National Gallery Singapore’s International Women’s Day programme and in conjunction with the loan of two works by Dora Gordine from the Dorich House Museum collections, Dorich House Museum & Stanley Picker Gallery presented Erika Tan’s film Spectral Entanglements (made as part of her Stanley Picker Fellowship) and Annaleena Piel Linnå’s film Dorich (made as a visitor film for the museum).

The film screenings were followed by a talk on Gordine’s time living, working and travelling in East and Southeast Asia by Dorich House curator Fiona Fisher, and a conversation between Fiona, Erika and Adele Tan, senior curator at National Gallery Singapore.

National Gallery Singapore occupies the former Municipal Building for which Gordine completed a major sculpture commission in Singapore in the 1930s.  Some of these works are now in display in Singapore’s Parliament House.
