DESPITE its deceptively simple design, the Singapore Pavilion generated a lot of buzz among visitors at the Venice Biennale 2022 opening week. It is listed as one of the best pavilions by influential publications such as The Art Newspaper and Artsy.net – as well as this one.
Working with curator Ute Meta Bauer, Shubigi Rao has distilled a substantial part of her voluminous decade-long research into a new film and book titled Pulp III: An Intimate Inventory Of The Banished Book.
