Well, for the benefit of whoever’s interested, I make a table below, in response to Mr. Teo Eng Seng’s question.</p> <table> <tr> <th>Artist </th> <th>Website </th> <th>Have I met that artist in person? </th> </tr> <tr> <td>Cheong Soo Pieng </td> <td>don't know </td> <td>He was dead, reportedly, by the time I heard of him. So, no, I haven't. </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ng Eng Teng </td> <td>idk </td> <td>No </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Amanda Heng </td> <td>idk </td> <td>A handful of years ago, at NUS Museum, where she was present at the venue of her artwork, during which strangers had tea, <strike>dismembered</strike> trimmed bean-sprouts and chatted. </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Max Kong </td> <td>http://maxkong.com </td> <td> In the year 2018, during <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/720402234973729/"> 'ArtWalk@Wessex' </a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Frances Alleblas </td> <td>https://www.francesalleblas.com/ </td> <td>As with Mr. Max Kong </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lin Hsin Hsin </td> <td>http://lhham.com.sg/ </td> <td>Met at a <a href="https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/curator-dialog-with-digital-media-pioneer-speed-of-thought-tickets-31115269609#"> 'curator dialog' </a> , which took place in the year 2017 A.D., at a co-working space in Singapore. </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mira </td> <td>http://mira-yoon.format.com </td> <td>I have had the luxury of her services as an art-therapist. </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Of course, Teo Eng Seng </td> <td>idk </td> <td>Met him at his <a href="http://www.dlrgallery.com/"> gallery </a> at 22 Marshall Road, Singapore </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ng Joon Kiat </td> <td>http://ngjoonkiat.com/ </td> <td>I've met him at events associated with other artists.
