About the Artist

Intergalactic Dreams | Jahan Loh | Rotunda and outside Salon, Level 1

Exploring the effects of climate change, the three-part installation Intergalactic Dreams by Singaporean artist Jahan Loh captures his exploration of alternative homes in an imagined future where Earth is no longer hospitable.
 
About the Artist

Singaporean contemporary artist Jahan Loh's roots are firmly entrenched in both fine and street art, which he forayed into in the early 1990s. With his tongue-in-cheek play on words and images, Jahan successfully merges traditional mediums with guerrilla aesthetics to develop a style that is not only inimitable, but affirmed in both high and low art.

His works have been featured in art exhibitions both locally and overseas. Jahan was also one of eight Singapore contemporary artists selected for 8Q-RATE, the inaugural exhibition for the opening of Singapore's 8Q museum in 2008. Jahan's art has also been featured in toy, apparel, and footwear collaborations with Adidas, VANS, Sony, Samsung, Carhartt, Devilock, Subcrew, and G-SHOCK. His works are collected by individuals and institutions throughout the world.

About the Artist

Having finished his studies in biology, Luc Jacquet spent time in Antarctica where he discovered the two great passions in his life: images and scientific mediation. His first feature-length movie, March of the Penguins, was seen by 25 million film-goers from all over the world. It received many awards, including the 2006 Oscar for the best documentary feature film. In 2010, he decided to get involved in helping to preserve nature using the emotions provoked by the magic of cinema.

Ice and Sky, his feature-length movie with the eminent glaciologist, Claude Lorius, was screened at the closing ceremony of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. It was part of a programme to raise awareness of the issues connected with global climate change. Luc also designed and produced the popular immersive exhibition Antarctica, hosted by the Musée des Confluences in Lyon.
