THEM.SG is back with a ground-breaking exhibition where we celebrate the burgeoning Singapore talents in the field of art, design, fashion and dance. The first festival to gather more than 100 local artists into one venue and one massive collaboration, THEM JAM features some of Singapore’s creme de la creme as curators, promising a spectacular night to remember.

Presenting something a little less ordinary, be prepared to expect an avant garde fashion presentation which explores the boundaries of interactive media presented by Quincy Teofisto of cult boutique Blackmarket; art installations by Alvin Tan (phunk studio) and Jason Tong of Mystic Vintage; a live music and dance collaboration in the form of a Dance Jam curated by Felix Huang of pioneering breakdance crew Radikal Forze. The musical talents of Pushin’On and the Bamrah Bros will be rocking the jam, along side the revolutionary audio-visual collective SYNDICATE and always pumping BEDSTY who are also among the stellar line-up.

On top of that, THEM.SG will also be presenting Singapore’s first Gif Competition (read below for details) where participants pit their one of a kind GIF creations against each other for a grand prize as well as the title of GREATEST GIF KNOWN TO MAN. The competition will be judged by a renowned panel of judges with names such as Chris Ng of IdN, Jackson Tan of phunk studio and Chris Lee of Asylum in the list.

Think of it as a giant collaboration between Singapore’s leading influencers coming together to do something a little less ordinary in the name of passion, and of course, fun.

The THEM JAM 2011 will be held on 7th December (Wednesday) at Avalon, South Crystal Pavilion at Marina Bay Sands Singapore.

The THEM JAM is a by-invite only event and RSVP is required for entry. RSVP at the THEM.SG Fanpage with your particulars and the code ‘THEM’ to guarantee your entry. Club rules apply.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS


The Street Dance Hand Book: Battle Edition- Triple Threat was curated by Felix Huang. As the live music collective Pushin’On played live, as 27 competitors battled freestyle with 3 judges determining the winning group.

Curated by THEM, the GIF JAM was held in conjunction with the jam, starting with an open call for submissions engaging various creative communities and institutions. Prizes were then awarded to the top 3 winners. Read more about it HERE.

Curated by Aidan Bamrah, the live stage saw local favourites Keith Colaco (DJ KFC), Riduan Zalani (percussion), Irwan Iskandar (percussion), Tom Kelly (DJ Shellsuit), Chad Samson (DJ Chunk), Hafez Masterpiece, Tirso Garcia (DJ JNR), Kevin Guoh (Kaye) and vocalist Michaela Therese collaborate in a JAM style.

Curated by Quincy of Blackmarket, Blackmarket Vol. 2, the interactive media display used contemporary media technology in affecting audience by interacting with the visuals on video projection. A combination of a fashion presentation and interactive installation, by using the space surrounding the video projection and participation of the audience it will stretch the idea of creating a fashion film. This presentation included more than 35 local and regional fashion labels.

Curated by Alvin Tan and Jason Tong of Mystic Vintage, Controlpolis was a showcase that consisted of more than 20 artists and architects coming together to create a city out of paper models. The result was a spectacular showcase, also qualifying as one of the first indie showcases involving architects.

Curated by Cherry Chan of SYNDICATE and Syaheed of Bedsty, the 3rd floor was transformed into an after party room involving some of the best local hip hop acts in the first collaboration between the two collectives. The result was a spectacular night with a room packed with at least 150 party people and Kiat, Blue Daisy and Ko Flow manning the decks as well as Vendetta and Kevin Lester on vocals.
