Experience the thrill of speculative fiction in Third Eye, season 2 of the NO FLASH podcast!
-
In art, as in literature, the fantastical and the weird can be found aplenty in Southeast Asia. Think of the Filipino artist-poet David Medalla, who proclaimed in his manifesto in 1965: “I dream of the day when I shall create sculptures that breathe, perspire, cough, laugh, yawn, smirk, wink, pant, dance, walk, crawl, … and move among people as shadows move among people.”
His speculative vision produced kinetic artworks, from machines that emit soapy bubbles to those that furrow sand. His sand machines, for example, are an amalgamation of futurist thinking and his personal memories of rice terraces in the Philippines. In his mind’s eye, Medalla saw dreamscapes of shifting scales where there were none. How might we see as Medalla did?
Deep dive into the mysterious, macabre and magnificent through the lens of some of Singapore’s most exciting writers, and see beyond the obvious as they reimagine artworks anew.
This season is co-edited by Nazry Bahrawi and features stories by Bani Haykal, Diana Rahim, Lisabelle Tay, Manish Melwani, Ng Yi-Sheng, and Wen-yi Lee. Original scoring and sound design by Mervin Wong.
Beamed direct from the Gallery's heart to the theatre of your mind.

SEASON 1: UNSTILL LIFE
From a parasite’s hot takes on nationhood, to a goat’s earnest address, to the reflections of most definitely not the Singapore River. These could be spontaneous conversations. Or they could be the strangest stories never told. Each recorded in the heart of the National Gallery, for the theatre of your mind.
All to answer one question – if art could speak, what would it say?
Would it feel anxious from the weight of our eyes? Or certain of its own significance? Would it know its creators intimately? Or struggle to understand them, the way every child struggles to understand a parent? Would it relive the past or dream of the future? Listen, and find out for yourself.
