THE new show at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) in Gillman Barracks will be its last. The solo exhibition of Trinh T Minh-ha's films opened over the weekend and will run till Feb 28, 2021 - after which CCA's current space, with its flexible exhibition hall and screening room, will shutter for good.
The closure will spell something of an end to a memorable chapter in Singapore's art history. Over the past seven years, CCA has been one of the most progressive art spaces in the region, not just showing groundbreaking art by world-famous artists, but also providing support for emerging artists and curators through studio residencies.
