Nothing is Forever: Rethinking Sculpture in Singapore

Exhibition Catalogue

How can we understand sculpture and its developments in Singapore? Today, sculpture encompasses any time-based and spatial activity. It has expanded far beyond the conventional parameters that used to define this medium, such as volume, mass and presence. The discourses surrounding sculpture have also evolved to address a larger sociocultural environment, art world and time scale.

Featuring a curatorial essay, and new interviews with artists and historians, this publication traces the evolution of sculpture in Singapore from the 19th century to the present, and broadens the story by including works that are not conventionally thought of as being sculpture, such as religious works, funerary artefacts, ceramics and sculptural reliefs as well as performance and installation art.
