SUMMARY:Benchmarks
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Civic District afresh this August 2023 onwards\, with Benchmarks\, a new public art trail commissioned by the Civic District Alliance (CDA). Designed by six Singapore-based artists\, Lua Boon Kai\, Joyce Beetuan Koh\, Immanuel Koh\, Yang Jie\, Jeffrey Tan and Jason Wee\, the public art initiative features a series of six unconventional artwork benches inspired by punctuation marks dotted around the arts and culture precinct. Each art bench draws from the rich heritage of the district\, inviting visitors to have meaningful exchanges with themselves\, other visitors\, or even the surroundings while appreciating the beauty of the Civic District and its colourful stories. These art benches for Benchmarks are located at key areas of the Civic District\, such as the Asian Civilisations Museum\, The Arts House\, The Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and along the Singapore River. \nFollow #CVDBenchmarks on:\nWebsite: https://artshouselimited.sg/civic-district\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theartshouse\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theartshouse

SUMMARY:Engage with history through art at Temple\, National Gallery Singapore’s first rooftop installation integrating kinetic motion and sound
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a meditative experience at Temple\, a new participatory artwork by Vietnamese-American artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen. Commissioned by National Gallery Singapore for its Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series and presented as part of Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention\, Temple invites visitors to reflect on history and contemplate the impact of war through a multisensorial experience that blends kinetic motion and sound – underscoring the Gallery’s mission to connect the art of Singapore and Southeast Asia to the world and foster critical dialogue on global issues through art. \nFeaturing bells and mobiles crafted from recovered and defused unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the Vietnam War\, visitors are encouraged to strike the defused shells\, gongs\, and chimes\, creating a meditative soundscape. Through this transformation of weapons of war into instruments of peace\, Nguyen inspires ideas of karmic balance\, reincarnation\, and the memories embedded within materials\, offering a powerful lens for healing and reconciliation. \nTemple is the eighth edition of the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission.

SUMMARY:Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures
DESCRIPTION:With its dazzling feathers and spectacular tail\, the peacock has long symbolised beauty\, power\, and divinity across Asia. For centuries\, its striking form has captivated artists and devotees alike\, inspiring works that range from sacred images to everyday adornment. \nThe peacock motif travelled between cultures. Peranakan art\, shaped by the convergence of multiple influences\, is the starting point for this journey. Treasures from the National Collection and important lenders explore the bird’s presence in a broad range of artistic disciplines. Each object invites visitors to consider how a motif moved between regions and contexts\, revealing the networks that connect peoples and how artistic traditions evolve through exchange. \nThe exhibition presents these connections through colourful displays\, interactive stations\, and lively programmes. A new work by artist Ernest Goh explores the peacock in the context of its symbolism\, cultural heritage\, and ecology.
