Encounter materials transformed in Temple, a new commission by Vietnamese-American artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen, inviting you to participate in the creation of an ambient soundscape.
In Temple, metal discs, chimes, and bells made from alloys of defused unexploded ordnance — carefully removed from the landscape of Quảng Trị in central Vietnam — have been tuned to frequencies believed to promote healing in the human body. Suspended from a painted steel structure that evokes the language of construction, abstraction, and industry, these elements are brought to life through the movement of human touch and the subtle rhythms of the surrounding atmosphere.
As the 8th edition of the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission, Temple is co-presented with the Singapore Art Museum as part of the 8th Singapore Biennale 2025.
