A Reflective Dialogue
The Universitys newest batch of young artists and designers present the ADM Show 2012, in celebration of their transition from students to professional artists and designers Featuring the works of 152 students from ADMs Class of 2012, the exhibition titled A Reflective Dialogue showcases works from across the six genres of Digital Animation, Digital Filmmaking, Interactive Media, Photography and Digital Imaging, Product Design, and Visual Communication, and marks the transformation of these talented young individuals from varsity students to professional artists and designers set on the path towards flourishing and successful careers. Centred on the theme Dialogue, where ideas are exchanged and opinions are shared in a space, the exhibition presents a cohesive whole through boldly executed and thought-provoking ideas expressed in diverse layers of inspiring artworks from interactive installations, printed and online publications, innovative products, to experimental films and contemporary photographic works. Sharing the concept behind the shows theme, Mr Muhammad Yazid Bin Safaruan, graduating student and Chairman of the ADM Show 2012 organising committee, said: The ADM Graduation Show 2012 represents two forms of dialogue: the internal and the external. Here, we make conversations not only with ourselves and our works, but also through our works with our audience. The breadth of ideas that are being presented stretches and evolves with an individuals experience of the exhibited work."

Guest of Honour, Mr Jeffrey Ho, the Executive Director of the Design Singapore Council, officially launched the ADM Show 2012 on 27 April, at the Old School on Mount Sophia. In his speech, Mr Ho encouraged the graduating students to venture out on their own if they find opportunities to do so. Commending the graduating class on their works, Professor Vibeke Sorensen, Chair of the School of Art, Design and Media, said: The Class of 2012 has put together a spectacular exhibition. The Show effectively captures how each person, each artist and designer, is immersed in a lifelong conversation or dialogue with themselves and the world. It means they are not just good talkers but good listeners. It means that they deeply respect others. Sometimes it means the inclusion of a little humour. A Reflective Dialogue is the embodiment of the passion of the students who had dedicated long hours to producing works of outstanding quality. The exhibition was opened to the public from 28 April to 6 May.
