A much-needed resource on the practice of public art commissions and community engagement through the arts in urban Asia.
Distributed for the NTU Centre for Co ntemporary Art
Public art integrates landscape architecture, urban planning, and cultural management to create a sense of place. This book, dstributed for the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art, documents a major public art commission in Singapore, featuring works by artists Dan Graham, Zul Mahmod, TomÁs Saraceno, and Yinka Shonibare, and represents a unique collaboration between Nanyang Technology University Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore and Mapletree Investments—a Singaporean state-owned property developer with global operations. Essays and interviews with the artists tell the story of the regional histories, urban politics, and collaboration that went into the successful creation of a public space. Culture City. Culture Scape. is a much-needed resource on the role that art can play in public education and social corporate investment in urban Asia.
"The book offers insights on lesser-known topics through the discussion of public artworks at Mapletree Business City II.... All in all, Culture City. Culture Scape is a welcomed reference book on the discourse of public art in Singapore. With a critical, interdisciplinary approach, it successfully marries cultural and corporate interests to provide public education."
