Across three exhibitions around Esplanade's visual arts spaces, engage with newly commissioned site-specific works.
In the Esplanade Tunnel, The Long and Oblique View by Mike HJ Chang (Taiwan/USA/Singapore) unfolds across various wall-oriented objects, intertwined to create a visual narrative drawing from two enduring threads within Chang’s practice: the faculty of sight and the construction of space.
印映 reflections impressions by Hong Shu-ying (Singapore) at the Esplanade Community Wall delves into cycles of learning, imitation and innovating. The works draw from Abing’s famed 1950 erhu recording of Mirrored Moon in the Erquan Spring and subsequent user-contributed content on video-sharing platforms responding to this piece.
Taking root within Esplanade Concourse, Locus Amoenus by Ryan Villamael (Philippines) envelops the space with meticulously crafted leaves, created from replicas of geographical maps. This intricate installation explores ideas related to idyllic landscapes, territorial demarcation and colonisation.
Artists: Mike HJ Chang, Hong Shu-ying, Ryan Villamael
