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".

  Dali's in Singapore - "complementing the Biennale"
Singapore's tony Opera Gallery has brought in an exhibition and sale of European masterworks, to coincide with the Singapore Biennale 2006. The exhibition includes a number of public sculptures, which are being displayed near the existing Homage to Newton on Boat Quay. It also looks like the Alice in Wonderland piece that will be part of the Wheelock Holding's new property on Scott's Rd is already ensconced outside of Wheelock Place. See pix:

Or watch a video of the CNA story.

Personally, one Dali sculpture goes a long way (I don't think he had his heart in this 3D work...), but I can't complain about having a bit more to look at these days. I wonder how they match with the Yayoi Kusuma wrapped trees down Orchard Rd (!!!). Pix and commentary to come when I get a chance to actually look at some art.
