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".

  Singapore at the Cans Festival
With all the press hype over the appearance of Singapore films at the Cannes Film Festival, it's a bit disappointing that a Singapore-related entry at the Cans Festival didn't merit a mention in the Straits Times. But here it is... nothing subtle about this!

Hey Peter, I haven't caught up with your blog feeds for a long while. Came over here after receiving the Twitter notification.

Speaking of "public art", here's a question -- does public art extend to cyberspace? Like, what if we posted music online? Does that count as public art by your definition?

(Ok, here's a blatant and shameless plug: my song, which I consider as "public". And then it lead to a collaboration, here. "Collaborative Public Art"?)

Cheers.

Hey Ivan, I liked the tune, and I especially liked the "minus lead" version to invite collaboration. A bit of a shameless transition from "what is public art" though ;-)...

I think cyberspace is a kind of public space, and my early work on the web is one reason I became interested in "real" public space.

But for the blog I'm still most focused on what's happening in our physical cityspace.

Thanks for listening. OK, I promise no more shameless plugs from me. Er, this year. LOL. Take care!
