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".

  sculpture database in Google Maps

Did you know that Google Maps has a pretty good database of Singapore streets in it? Recently added. I've taken the liberty of adding some of Singapore's public art into an overlay onto Google Maps. Click here to have a look. I'm overlaying a kml file generated from Google Earth, into Google Maps.

Of course the Google Earth version is nicer - for one thing the Google Maps version arbitrarily cuts off the number of artworks included, not sure why. And those of you who are Google Earth fans (you know who you are), Google Earth comes with all that extra fun zooming and panning and tilting and etc. If you are in google Earth, download http://www.nusantara.com/maps/pas.kmz

See the quick screenshot above. I do intend to keep improving this - cleaning up some of the entries, adding colorcoded icons, probably coded for how old the piece is, or how long it's been in place.
