'Chancre' is a transmission and transmutation of a memory couched in shame. This video includes, among others, excerpts of text from The Writings of a Savage by Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) detailing his experiences in Tahiti and a passage from Malay Magic (1900) by Walter William Skeat, which describes a female vampire known in Malay folklore as a ‘Pontianak’. The video is bookended with documentation from a performance re-enactment of Josef Ng's 'Brother Cane', a performance art piece that resulted in a 10 year restriction on the funding and licensing of performance art in Singapore.

A SPORE Art Salon collab. of 4 individualistic musicians
Babushka comprises of 4 very talented players sharing a common goal of breaking away from the mainstream, creating instrumental pieces using very unique scales that will blow your minds and melt the hearts of many. The pieces are heavily improvised as the band loves spontaneity - even this collaboration was sparked in a spontaneous moment.
In this outfit, there is Fauzo, the lead guitarist, who is known for 'wanking', a technical aspect of guitar playing he often applies. Don Shiau, who is keeping the rhythm, is a singer song writer of music that loops in the mind once heard. Yuga, an incredible percussionist and performer whom you'll need to experience for yourself to believe it, and last but not the least, Sophia, full of surprises and dance on the keyboard.
FEATURED MODEL

Nicole is an anthropology undergrad. She started life modeling so that she could travel to visit her friends in different cities and sleep in their houses. She likes the mental stillness and physical exertion of holding a position. She has posed in front of retirees, 6th form students, museum staff, and once, for the UCL art club's first session of the year. They turned out to be the most polite of the lot, and the 6th form students were least awkward. Amanda Palmer and Erika Moen are her largest life modeling influences. She considers the internet to be a comforting place, and makes youtube videos and hangs out on twitter and tumblr a lot. She believes that life modeling and being an internet whore can be attributed to an exhibitionist nature.
