Singapore Biennale 2013 Artists-in-Schools Project


Gardens, by the way, is a garden of flowers crafted from thousands of recycled plastic bottles of various sizes.  The plastic bottles are rejuvenated with bright and vivid colours are often used in graffiti art. Considering the idea of change and the title of the Singapore Biennale, If the World Changed, this project celebrates the changes that take place in our landscape with the abrupt spurts of blossoming gardens and also its attempts to enhance our rather concrete backdrop.

This project also promotes environmentally friendly initiatives, incorporating recycling with craft and graffiti/ aerosol art. Art club members collaborate with Zinc Nite Crew (ZNC) to create a flourishing garden in the heart of the Singapore Biennale. At the same time, the intention of this project is to address the stereotype concerning graffiti art.

Over the years, graffiti art is seen as an act of defiance rather than an expressive art form. In this installation, the viewers are invited to understand the notions of graffiti art and how it is similar to any other art form – a tool of expression. The workshop will incorporate and infuse the fundamentals of craft making with aerosol art, as an entry point to enlighten the participants of the design and notion behind graffiti art.
