Jack Tan, KARAOKE COURT

Year: 2015
Work Type: Branding & Exhibition Design
Client: Lasalle Institute of Contemporary Art
Medium: Off-set, Indigo Digital Press, Laser Copy
Dimensions: 250mm X 210mm

Karaoke Court is a work of performance art by artist Jack Tan as part of his solo exhibition ‘How to do things with rules’ at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) Singapore, from 13 Aug to 29 Sep 2015.

“Karaoke Court is a work of art and performance inspired by the Arctic Eskimo and Inuit tradition of ‘song duels’. Taking place within festive occasions, litigants present grievances to the entire community for judgment in the form of humorous and satirical songs. Due to the necessities of survival in the Arctic, the aim of the Eskimo or Inuit litigation is to restore relationships and to dissipate the build up of community tension, as much as it is to determine the winner.” -excerpt from Karaoke Court website

Jack Tan is a Singaporean artist based in London.

The identity of Karaoke Court is inspired by the visual tropes of local getai and Karaoke Television (KTV) bars that are a common sight in Singapore. The main visual element - spikes/starbursts, signifies the festive disco-esque lights (the main highlight of a getai show) , as well as the idea of conflict and hostility, which are the main topics of Karaoke Court.

Event identity and collaterals designed by Darius Ou & Melvin Tan.

*the individual drawings are all labeled ‘no title’
but as I started this series I was thinking (and writing) a lot about colliding topographies of time— the slippage between presence (the current moment) and memory, friction and interruption, biased encoding, wilful redaction, omission and the preservation of continuity of self that accompanies the encoding of any memory… —which renders each of us unreliable narrators of our own experience
