The subTEXT x SAM series is reinventing itself by trying out a refreshed format – imagine a literary salon in a casual setting, with snacks and drinks. To put the audience in the right mood, a playlist of curated remixes will fill the space before and after the readings, all the better to background conversation and the intermingling of thoughts.
This July edition is also loosely inspired by the exhibition SAM Contemporaries: Residues and Remixes, a showcase on emerging practices in Singapore art. Four writers (Emily Brandt, Myle Yan Tay, Toh Hsien Min, Tse Hao Guang) represent different facets of literary pursuits – from poetry, to fiction and theatre, as well as non-fiction. An evening where we celebrate collaborations, how the intersection of ideas might lead to renewed inspirations.
Presented by Yong Shu Hoong, subTEXT is a long-running literary reading series that took place regularly from 2001 to 2008 at different venues. It is now organised on an ad-hoc basis. This iteration of subTEXT is co-organised by SAM and Yong Shu Hoong.
