The good people at the Farm Singapore artists collective have been impressing me with their use of web stuff to create an infrastructure for the Singapore art scene. Totally the right idea, and a great use of resources. It's not just web stuff, they do an event series (Rojak), with a particular sensitivity to Singapore's built environment - events are held in a variety of venues, people's flats, empty spaces, artist's spaces, etc. But enough praise - though they deserve more - this is to point to a public program they launched with the URA and SingPost, the privatized version of the Post Office. Called STAMP, the project is an open contest to paint a number of post boxes all over the city. Example here by Tang Ling Nah, who is best known for her large charcoal portrayals of Singapore's urban spaces. Of course I've been too idle to promote this in advance, much less create my own entry, but the winners will be announced on March 2, 2007. A terrific way to brighten up the urban landscape, and kudos to all involved.
