Public art can take various forms, from 2D wall murals and 3D sculptures to performative and ephemeral manifestations of an artist's creative process.
More importantly, the conception and premise of the artwork is rooted deeply in the public sphere, where it is widely visible and freely accessible to all.

A VISIT TO THE MUSEUM: TAKING THE PAST FORWARD
Material: BronzeLocation: Peranakan Museum Duration: Permanent Collection: National Heritage Board Dimensions: Dimensions variable
Two figures stand in front of the museum: an elderly man holding the hand of an eager young girl. If you look carefully, you can see a third figure: a woman in modern dress standing on the second floor balcony of the museum. The girl energetically gestures to the woman, generating dynamic interactions between the figures around building’s façade. Chern’s sculpture demonstrates that the arts can be relevant to generations of Singaporeans both young and old, uniting our past, present, and future.
