Culture Scape. Public Art Trail at Mapletree Business City II]]> Public Art]]> Urbanism]]> Our upcoming guided tour is an excellent way to get inspired and unwind in the company of art. Enjoy a well-deserved cup of coffee and snack while we walk you through the artworks nestled in the lush compounds of Mapletree Business City II (MBC II).

Themed Culture City. Culture Scape., this public art project, commissioned by Mapletree and curated by NTU CCA Singapore comprises works by internationally renowned artists Dan Graham (United States), Zulkifle Mahmod (Singapore), Tomás Saraceno (Argentina/Germany), and Yinka Shonibare (Nigeria/United Kingdom). Inspired by the idea of expanded sculptural environments, the artworks explore the interplay between landscape, architecture, and the broader social and economic environments they are placed in. More than being monumental or site-specific, each work alters or permeates its local context to invite visitors to a broader, richer engagement.

On the occasion of the presence of the celebrated British artist Yinka Shonibare CBE (RA) (Nigeria/United Kingdom), NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (NTU CCA Singapore) and Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd. cordially invite you to a conversation between Yinka Shonibare CBE (RA), artist; and Edmund Cheng (Singapore), Chairman, Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd; moderated by Ute Meta Bauer (Germany/Singapore), Founding Director, NTU CCA Singapore, and Professor, School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University.

The title of the conversation, Artists as Citizens, draws on artistic strategies of activating the public through art, which the artist also describes in an interview in the forthcoming publication Culture City. Culture Scape. (Singapore 2020). It explores the broader cultural and artistic developments of the permanent installations at Mapletree Business City II by internationally renowned artists Dan Graham (United States), Zulkifle Mahmod (Singapore), Tomás Saraceno (Argentina/Germany) and Yinka Shonibare CBE (RA) (Nigeria/United Kingdom). Culture City. Culture Scape. situates their practices within a regional discourse on art in the city from the perspectives of corporate social responsibility and public art education.

This conversation is accompanied by a performance by Samba Masala (Singapore Management University) and followed by a reception and guided tours of the Public Art Trail at Mapletree. The event is held in conjunction with the Singapore Art Week 2020.]]>
