NTU CCA Singapore & Toh Garden, 11 Lor Pasu

During his 2017 residency at NTU CCA Singapore, Tyler Coburn developed a relationship with Singapore’s Toh Garden, which cultivates many orchid hybrids named after politicians and celebrities. In turn, Coburn legally named one of the Garden’s hybrids “Richard Roe,” a name used in American and British case law when the actual name of a person cannot be given. This session will start at NTU CCA Singapore, where Coburn will introduce his orchid hybrid and elaborate on the conventions of naming, then conclude at Toh Garden with a tour led by Zhuo Hongyi.

In this conversation, Dia will introduce her artistic intervention Golden Staircase (2017). Taking over a block of steps from a HDB staircase in Jalan Rajah, the work stirred controversy and public debate on how contemporary art could relate to the built environment we live in. The debate was exceptionally amplified on social media. Palay will discuss his artistic practice and his public performance 32 Years: The Interrogation of a Mirror (2018), a conceptual work in progress. In 2018, the public (performative) action led to his arrest and resulted in an island-wide debate around what can be considered a work of art in public. The discussion with both artists will look into recent urban developments and artistic approaches in the public sphere.]]>
