No nudes, but you can touch
Walk through this display of more than 250 sculptures showcasing the best of the region's sculpture by 150 artists from Asia-Pacific countries
THINK sculpture is all about Greek marble statues in various states of undress?
From now until September, the island-wide Volume & Form Exhibition promises to change the way you look at sculpture and the urban environment - and there are no barriers to stop you from touching the pieces or walking through them.
The exhibition, with more than 250 sculptures, showcases the best of the region's sculpture by 150 artists from 20 Asia-Pacific countries.
Life! presents a spread of five Antipodean artists who hail from Down Under and New Zealand.
Walk into Garden Of Eden
ADRIAN MAURIKS
IF YOU happen to see a group of large fibreglass forms near the Singapore Cricket Club, then you are invited to stroll in and around the sculpture, Garden Of Eden I.
Its creator, Adrian Mauriks, wants the individual to walk into it and experience its meaning. Although Mauriks' work is concerned with environmental issues, and this piece is intended as a criticism, observers are encouraged to make their own intellectual and visual connections with the forms as they negotiate their way through.
Some of the sculptural elements have words stamped on them, spelling out ecological concerns, but the kind of connections one makes may be surprising.
Make your own connections with Adrian Mauriks' satirical creations of environmental issues.
