Vanu Gopala Menon, Permanent Representative of Singaporeto the United Nations"Global Governance: The G20, The UN and The 3G"Since November 2008, the G-20 has been playing an active role in dealing with the global financial crisis. While this might have helped avert a global depression, some quarters see the emergence of the G-20 as a challenge to the UN on global governance issues. What could the G-20 do to allay such concerns? The G-20 is also a manifestation of the need for more effective global governance mechanisms. What role can the UN play in helping to restructure global governance mechanisms to suit the needs and demands of the 21st century? Ambassador Menon will be exploring all of these issues and more in this evening's presentation.Ambassador Vanu Gopala Menon presented his credentials as Singapore's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York on 16 September 2004. Before assuming his post in New York, he was Singapore's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva and concurrently accredited as Singapore's Ambassador to the Republic of Turkey.Ambassador Menon joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in June 1985. He served as First Secretary in the Singapore Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York from March 1988 to April 1991 and as Counsellor and later Minister-Counsellor in the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur from November 1994 to November 1997. On his return to Ministry HQ, he was appointed as Senior Deputy Director at the Policy, Planning and Analysis Directorate I in December 1997 and became its Director in December 1998. He has been a Foreign Service Officer since June 1985.

The works span a dynamic assortment of stylistic and thematic conclusions and/or questions that are linked by their reflective nature.Carlos Aquilino’s drawings are made on ultimate paper with a marker or additional colored markers. Specially the black/ white drawings are so delicate and lace-like while they fill the paper with an infinitely opening, expanding and revealing story, happening and quality, time and again with each one. Aase-Hilde Brekke is a multi-media artist versed in performance, installation art, objects, collage, photography and film. Brekke’s photography works that will be shown, deal with elevated states of human and ecologic phenomenon, such as ritual of Tibetan monks and dances in highly ritualized festivals. Anthony Coffey has recently been making images on New York City Subway Maps through pigment transfer. The artist’s subject matters are visions of New Worlds as well as old school depictions of cars, human figures, buildings and sunflowers.Tove Hellerud’ s painting develops from an exploration of mark making. The artist works intuitively, without any imagery in mind, to develop a composition. Disassociated from any corresponding sensation, experience or thing, Hellerud’s metaphoric abstractions glisten over whatever surface they happen to occupy.Catherine Lan may use acrylic, spray paint, glitter, faux fur, fabric, bead, pearl and rhinestone on canvas and name her work ‘Elf’ but when she doesn’t she still utilizes furry fabrics, lots of pinks and yellows and raw expressions. Kristian Rangel works almost like an architect. Certainly he has the know-how on structure. He applies this with the gentle loving-kindness of his hand holding the pencil and created other worlds. Worlds stretching into infinite labyrinths. Trey Reed creates contemporary abstract paintings in which the artist explores his interest in the passage of time, and the resultant inevitable changes of that passing. Reed’s process creates the time-weathered look that embodies the essence of change. Gunilla Oldenberg’s main inspiration has long been Nature. Oldenberg’s style is an interesting combination of west and east, a mixture of poetic compositions, rhythm and texture. In the artist’s 3-dimensional paintings she experiments with different materials, such as dried sea-algae from the Swedish west coast. Matthew Lauretti who was recently on display in SoHo once again shows his large-scale,calligraphic-style graffiti paintings about New York. His works on industrial fabric juxtaposes materials to reveal tensions—between the natural and the man-made, the city and suburbia, class and culture—creating a record of our desires, obsessions, and excesses.Gelabert Studios Gallery255 West 86th StreetNew York, NY 10024www.basakmalone.com less
