Asian Public Art News
Art and similar interventions in public space. Coverage moves outwards from Singapore through Asia to the rest of the world. Like nothing else, the idea of "public art" exposes the contradiction inherent in our ideas of "the public" and of "art".

  City of Biscuits
At Selfridges in London. In the work of Chinese artist Song Dong, thousands of biscuits and sweets are being used to create an edible city. After completion it will be, well, eaten. The work is meant to criticize the (cookie-cutter?) sameness of Asia's new cities, the confectionary quality of their showpiece buildings?

See the slideshow from the BBC.

And apparently, those on the bottom are getting a bit stale...
