Message from
the President
As its name suggests, this Book of
Talents celebrates outstanding student
work. ‘Talent’ is an interesting concept,
and is thought by some to be innate:
a special gift bestowed at birth on
a lucky few. But ask any of our most
committed students and they will tell
you it is far more complex than that.
Talent is not simply a natural aptitude.
It is the result of rigorous discipline, skills
acquisition, and experimentation – a
continuous process towards creative
discoveries and artistic self-identity.
Albert Einstein once famously said:
“I have no special talent. I am only
passionately curious.” Passion and
curiosity are not confined to physics
and the sciences, and indeed are two
qualities integral to art and design
creative practice. Our staff exemplify
such passion and curiosity in their
teaching and research, and nurture them
every day in our students. A sense of
searching deeply (curiosity) combined
with intense emotion or conviction
(passion) helps explain what talent is;
and ultimately defines what all the finest
artists and designers have in common.
LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership
with Goldsmiths, University of London, provides
tertiary arts education within a dynamic
environment that reflects the collaborative
and interactive discipline inherent in artistic
practice. Founded in 1984 by De La Salle
educator, Brother Joseph McNally, LASALLE
today offers a full range of diplomas and
degrees in design, fine arts, film, media
arts, fashion, dance, music, theatre, art
therapy, Asian art histories, and arts
management. LASALLE is a non-profit,
private educational institution operating
autonomously with financial support from
the Singapore Ministry of Education.
LASALLE’s progressive approach to
education ensures that students have a
balanced education in the practice and
research of a discipline and aims to give our
students a head start in building their future
as creative leaders and entrepreneurs.
This book contains just a small sample
of the work from The LASALLE Show
2013, full of inspiring ideas, expressions,
and innovations. There has been such a
surfeit of talent and an embarrassment of
creative riches from all our students that
the examples shown are representative
rather than comprehensive. They attest
to the deep curiosity and passionate
dedication of a supremely talented
group of graduating students.
I wish them long and continuing creative
imaginings and realisations, and every
possible success in the future.

Advertising
Communication
Traditional advertising builds
on the basis of gaining
mass exposure to generate
awareness. However, consumers
no longer buy because the
brand says it is good. Building
on the breadth of impression is
no longer effective in a fastpaced and densely digitally
connected world. Hence the
design hypothesis looks into how
real-time accessibility to any
information in the world allows
consumers to seek value-added
brand experience to share and
be part of. Through the approach
of Advertising Advocacy, the key
is to create experiences and
build substantial relevant touch
points to evoke emotions, thus
encouraging them to advocate
the key message.

Image and
Communication
Idioms and figurative meanings
can pose a challenge to
English language learners as
the expression is detached
from the literal meaning or
definition of words that they are
made of. According to Mayer
(1999), words and pictures
that are presented together
help the brain to recall better,
hence by implementing the
use of narratives through
illustrative artwork, the ability
to learn and retain information
is enhanced. In a nutshell,
the objective of this project
is to help English language
learners to comprehend and
recall English idioms through
relevant, decisive, and evocative
storytelling.

Graphic
Communication
Designers tend to stay in their
comfort zone because of the
fear of judgement by their peers
and the impression they will
leave. Play is beneficial to young
aspiring design students, and
encourages them to never stop
learning and experimenting
with new things. The study also
helps educators to impart the
knowledge to their students in
a fun-loving environment and
promotes the benefits of leaving
the comfort zone, infusing the
spirit of play, and cultivating a
life-long learning experience.

The Dandy: New Aesthetics in
Singaporean Menswear
This menswear exhibition
looked at the Singaporean
Dandy with both historical
and contemporary contextual
lens. The original British
Dandy George Bryan “Beau”
Brummell set the dandy
standard in London and Paris
in the 1790’s with his original
Regency suit and necktie look,
his exotic fragrances, and the
habit of polishing his shoes with
champagne. Raising standards
of cultivation and taste, Brummel
stood against the fashions
of the day and in his singular
pursuit of elegance and line,
defined dandyism forever. The
exhibition took its inspiration
from both this flamboyant
character and from Singapore’s
natural British legacy in tailoring,
combining them with the
uniquely diverse Singaporean
culture and aesthetics to create
something unique and timeless.
Students from the BA(Hons)
Fashion Media and Industries
programme curated a series of
innovative fashion exhibition
concepts showcasing original
works of the BA(Hons) Fashion
Design and Textiles students as
well as works of local designers,
explaining and expounding
on what dandyism means in
Singapore today. From the
tailored dandy to the ethnic
dandy and the ‘ah-beng’ dandy,
the students portrayed the heart
and soul of the Singapore men’s
satorial identity.

rather than redesigning existing
clothing made exclusively to be
worn as garment. The aim of 3

interdisciplinary research and

Erika’s artwork investigates
themes of desire, obsession,
and control, in the fabrication
of identity. Her recent work
explores how these themes
manifest through the tenuous
relationship between food
and the self. Informed by
extensive research in areas
of social structures, personal
identity, daily rituals, abnormal
eating habits, and personal
relationships with food, Erika’s
work has developed into several
series of photorealistic colour
pencil drawings that depict
partially chewed candies.
The works utilise scale, size,
colour, repetition, and layers
to engage with the viewer. In

In his approach, he encountered
a sense of cognitive dissonance
that disrupted the traditional
ways of sight and interpretation.
The schism between how
humans perceive landscape
and how land reacts to them
is fraught with suspicion. To
relieve this strain, Bradley tries
to embrace the materiality of

Choream Luminaria:
A Site-Specific
Performance
Jessica Angelique Gabrielli
Choream Luminaria combines
installation and live performance
as mediating tools to explore
ways in which movement can be
given a visual form. Crystallised
through video and photography,
Choream Luminaria is part
of an ongoing and dedicated
research towards understanding
movement as a process of
constant interaction and
transformation.
The multicoloured installation
is a direct reaction to the
architecture of the chosen
site. Six participating dancers,
with different movement
backgrounds, were allocated
a delineated space within the
string structure. Responding
to improvised sound-scapes,
performers were asked to
dialogue in a feedback cycle of
gestures across the odd-shaped
cubicles – as simultaneously
24
separate and interdependent
forces – in the creation of the
larger dynamic flow.
As a collaborative initiative
that included LASALLE
Dance graduates, Choream
Luminaria was a metaproject
built around the relationship
between embodied and
observed movement. As such,
the work transposed process
into a synaesthetic experience.
Explorations of light, colours,
the dancing body, and gestural
physiognomy have ensued the
design of colour-coded light
suits, allowing figures to dissolve
into the structure. Facilitating
a focus on the trace of bare
energy travelling through space,
the essence of motion thus
remains through kaleidoscopic
luminescence.

The concept of Hotel Art Fair
originated 18 years ago in 1994
as the Gramercy International
Art Fair, held in the rooms of
the Gramercy Hotel in New
York City. By utilising hotel
guest rooms, A Hotel Art Fair
(AHAF) is distinctly different
from a white cubed exhibition,
providing an environment for
collectors to picture artworks in
private settings. In Asia, the first
Hotel Art Fair was introduced
by AHAF in 2009 in Korea.
This concept is now prevalent
in Asian markets. Conrad
Centennial was the venue for
Worlds Apart Fair for 2013.
Art Stage 2013 is an annual

Linking Drinking with Thinking

serves as an inspiration for this
halfway-point exhibition by
graduates from the MA Fine Arts
programme. It also suggests a
creative process that may not
involve a separation between
the visceral and the body, as the
mind is put to task in working
out ideas, and in taking risks. In
this exhibition, studio practice
works were presented as part
of these graduates’ practiceas-research trajectories as they
negotiate their own boundaries
and permutations in relationship
to their bodies, the gaze, and
actions within the art-making
process.

Magic Bullet
The title of this exhibition,
Magic Bullet, suggests a
magical solution or cure. To
mark the end of the Master of
Arts Fine Arts programme, the
idea extends beyond both the
meanings of either an easy
solution to a difficult problem,
or as a therapeutic agent
in medicine. Magic Bullet is
closer to the artists’ attempts at
resolution (albeit temporarily)
providing some form of magical
alternative where potentials and
possibilities are transformed
through their research practice.
Participating artists:

This short animation pivots on
the concept of disobedience,
with the statement of the
animation being: “Do not
disobey the rule made for your
safety, or the consequence will
be severe.” The premise is a
spin-off story of Adam and Eve,
but combined with elements of
Science Fiction and Fantasy.

The Delusional
Warrior
Calvin Chong Ho Aun,

This animation is a comedic
parody and borderline satire
of the medieval fantasy genre.
Challenging the audience’s
visual perception of character
and racial stereotypes, the
story follows a Human Knight in
shining armor in her endeavour
to defend her town against a
vicious Ogre’s attack. With a
lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek
feel at the core of its theme, it is
a clever and amusing adventure
that viewers will not soon forget!

Honour
Amongst
Thieves
Shamine Athena King
Honour Amongst Thieves is an
animated short film dealing
with issues of power imbalance,
particularly in the domain
of religion, government, and
society. Represented by a
Spanish conquistador and the
Holy inquisition, the British
royal navy, and a flamboyant
French pirate respectively,
these three factions attempt
to stake their claim on the
Caribbean’s wealth. Backed by
their individual philosophies,
each character feels justified
in claiming the gold for his own
reasons, but the film ultimately
warns against letting power or
duty override one’s sense of
honour to the people who confer
empowerment.
