FREE AND EASY ART ENCOUNTERS
Artist Joseph Beuys famously said: “Everything is art: every aspect of life can be approached creatively and, as a result, everyone has the potential to be an artist.” Inspired by this theory of Social Sculpture, the Galley has re-designed the basement concourse to bring out the creative spirit in everyone! The entire basement concourse level is free for all visitors, including non-Singaporeans, to enjoy.
The Spine Hall. Dinh Q. Lê. Voices from the Centers. 2021. Mixed media – Plywood, prints on vinyl, computers, camera, microphones, paper and found media images. Created for Gallery Children's Biennale 2021: Why Art Matters.
