Soft Time: In response to Michael Lin's "Untitled Gathering"

Experience sunset at the Singapore Padang as we board The Artists Village’s spectral art bus, bringing Michael Lin’s lantern bags from the city steps into the open. In this work, participants and artists explore the tension between the monumental temporality of the nation-state and its official art history, alongside the encounter between Michael Lin’s work and the artists’ ephemeral practices. Over four evenings, we move together in “soft time” as a constellation of strangers, family, and friends, inhabiting everyday rhythms of movement, memory, and sound in an experience that is mobile, intimate, and continuously unfolding in the present.
