It is an independent arts collective based in Singapore.
Artists Caravan primary objective is the investigation of the self (refers to the creative individual). The functional role of an artist investigating oneself with a secondary objective within a collaborative setting. These secondary objective is the investigation of subject matters such as others, environment including societal values, cultures and its practices.
All three fundamental principles are coexisting interdependent factors which produces infinite results. Although Artists Caravan emphasis is primarily in the process, there are art pieces produced from these processes. Documentations and reflections are strongly encouraged and the principle of using found materials from the environment is strongly emphasized in all projects.
Artists Caravan works with people and spaces. People are communities of artists, students or inhabitants of spaces. Environment are places embedded with its own self generating histories and meanings through time.
