MASSIVE sculptures in the heart of the city are set to turn heads and stir emotions. Thirteen large works by 11 renowned artists will be displayed at six different locations, including the Fullerton Hotel, the Asian Civilisations Museum Green and Marina Bay Boulevard.
The exhibition assembles some of the biggest names in the region including China's Gu Wenda, Zhang Huan and Zhan Wang, as well as Taiwan's Ju Ming, Singapore's Kumari Nahappan and Indonesia's Sri Astari Rasjid.
Gu, for one, is displaying 24 natural rocks that were extracted from the bottom of the sea. On each rock, he has carved and inscribed a simplified stroke of a Chinese calligraphic character that references Chinese solar terms. This installation took 20 years to realise due in part to its logistical challenges.
