public art in Singapore: more trouble than it is worth?
Just decided to post this 561kb pdf file of an essay I wrote for a conference organized in early 2004. Sorry that it has taken so long to put it up on this website. it may appear in a collection of essays on art reception in Asia that John Clark is putting together.
The essay looks at certain ideals of public art, and traces a kind of history of "the public" in Singapore based on Singapore's art works. I bring in Habermas in a big way for this discussion. Not everyone likes that!Technorati Tags: Habermas, public art, sculpture, Singapore
