RESIDUAL MEMORY OF THE WALLS by Budi Agung Kuswara, Studio Batu
~ Art Skins on Monuments (National Gallery Singapore)
• Light to Night 2023 - ...
Residual Memory of the Walls reminds us of Singapore’s origins as a port city where trade and exchange took place, and harks back to a time when the site of the former Supreme Court was occupied by a hotel. From there, its occupants had a view of the sea and the ships moving in and out of the Straits of Singapore.
Combining large cyanotype prints with archival images, Budi Agung Kuswara draws on the residual memories of the buildings and attempts to capture the histories that linger.

Changing Landscapes
by Axel Serik, Flex Chew, Han Sai Por
• Light to Night 2023 - ...
Inspired by the Black Forest series - Changing Landscapes brings to light the pressing issues of deforestation and biodiversity loss in our environment. The urban jungle of skyscrapers in an ultra-fast paced and land-scarce city like Singapore was created by bulldozing natural landscapes to make way for the island nation’s economic progress. It will take decades of deliberate efforts to restore what we have already destroyed and to preserve what we have left.

YEN YEN by Lolay & KOBORED
~ Art Skins on Monuments (National Gallery Singapore)
• Light to Night 2023 - ...
The intricate web of fine lines found in Lolay’s signature drawing style represents signs of life manifesting out of mundane, lifeless objects that emit energy and sync up with our everyday moods and emotions. Yen Yen is a manifestation of imagined lifeforms that threaten to engulf the Gallery’s architecture, reflecting the desire to keep cool and joyful in the melting heat of the tropical region. The combination of quirky, light-hearted line drawings and splashes of colour reflect a spontaneity that is often found in graffiti art.
