Zentai Art Festival 2014 (www.zentaiart.com) is a first art festival focused on Zentai Art in the world. There are 3 exhibitions and 5 performances with 27 artists in Singapore from November 2014 to June 2015:
- Zentai is a full body tights covering whole body.
- Our world is too external oriented. The way we look affects in our job and personal life. Though this zentai art, we look inwards where human surface, gender, age and looks does not matter. Within ourselves, we will find something more deep and real.
- Anyone can wear zentai and be transformed to a super hero.
- We need Artist fee for artists to make their art works and gallery rental fee for showing art works.
- No identity
- No gender
- No age
- No race
- No country
- No religion
- No language
- No name
- No thought
- No limitation
- This exhibition is about human identity and asking question ‘who we are?’. We focus on transcending manmade-rules and limitation psychologically and physically, taking away the social taboos in relationships between individuals. By neutralizing age, gender and surface beauty and rendering it non-identical, it asks the question of identity in the context of the urban living conditions in Singapore. It will present many different realities from individual artists and practitioners as a showcase of their interpretation and perspectives on Zentai art.
We are ready to make this next big step, but we need your help to make it as big as we possibly can! Funds from Indiegogo will be used for:
- Bigger and better festival quality. With this budget, we can promote the Zentai art to the world. We can create a new category in the contemporary art as 'Zentai Art'
- Artist fee. We need to pay the artists to make their art works. We also need transportation/accommodation for foreign artists.
- Gallery rental. We need to pay our festival host to host our exhibitions.
- Performance venue rental. The performance are happening at the theatre.
- Equipments and marketing. We need material like zentai suits, sound system and also marketing for the festival.

- Zentai art is not recognised art yet in the world. It is hard to get funds from the Government or organisation .
- There are art proposals from the artists and artists are already making their art works. Art galleries are also confirmed to host us. Now we are working on the logistics.
- I am an artist working on the 'Zentai Art Project' for 4 years. I make video and performance with the Zentai suits. My project is called 'Zentai Art Project' (yuzuru.weebly.com). I want to share this 'Zentai Art' with the world.
- Our team is seasoned for organising art events. We have organised various art festivals in Singapore includes 'Rites' which was a series of performance art events.
- We are very passionate about sharing the art with the artists and audiences. We believe the art can make changes in our small life.
- The exhibitions and performances are free to enter. We will have festival documentation uploaded to the website for people who cannot come to Singapore.
- With the success of the festival, the festival will go around the world engaging local artists introducing the 'Zentai Art'.
