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".

  the building remembers...(記)



the building remembers...(記)
Originally uploaded by ampulets2.

Fine pix by Ampulets of Matthew Ngui's superb "the Building Remembers, Remembering the Building", a screen embedded into the wall of the National Museum of Singapore. It is technically pioneering, and artistically very finely judged - playing with time delays and ideas of the past, displaying images that are minutes, seconds or nearly a century old. Matthew will be presenting his work in a public lecture sometime in January - can't wait. Meanwhile there are plenty of pix on Flickr, it is proving very popular with visitors to the museum. But this by Ampulets is my favorite so far.
