Lowave's main activities revolve around the conception and production of exhibitions, as was the case for Singapour mon amour (Point Éphémère, Cinémathèque française, musée du Quai Branly, Centre Pompidou, Eglise Saint-Merry), Body Politics (Beirut Art Fair, 2014), Theo.do.lites (ICA Singapour, 2013), Rising Images (Centre Pompidou Paris, 2012), Human Frames (KIT Düsseldorf, 2011), Reframing Reality (Museet for Samtidskunst Roskilde, 2010) ou Middle East Video Channel (Guangzhou Triennial, 2008) and the programmes and performances in multiple international institutions such as the Collège des Bernardins in Paris, The Substation in Singapore, the Cineteca in Madrid our the Pera Museum in Istanbul.
The singularity of Lowave's work lies in its international scope, with a strong interest in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the valuation of emerging artists and the implementation of interdisciplinary and intercultural crossings.
With monographies and documentaries on art or video portraits of artists, the catalogue also includes a significant amount of compilations that focuses on the discovery of emerging scenes (Résistance[s]) 1-3, In/Flux 1-3, Conditioned, Re:Frame) and thematics (Different Cinema co-produced with the Collectif Jeune Cinéma or Hors Pistes with Centre Georges Pompidou) Singapour mon amour is a Singaporean art showcase in Paris from 4 June to 12 July 2015 featuring 42 intellectuals and artists from Singapore and France.
In the form of ten thematically compiled film programmes with works by contemporary artists and filmmakers from Europe and Asia that concentrate upon themes such as happiness, desire, madness, fanaticism, fear, anger, isolation, melancholy, the exhibition will re-examine and illuminate human existence at the start of the twenty-first century, including the eastern concepts mono no aware (‘the pathos of things’) and impermanence.
The opening night, participated by the curators and artists, included an exclusive showpiece by live musicians Black To Comm performing improvisational musical accompaniment to Earth (a film by Ho Tzu Nyen).
