Angles of Incidence: Singapore Botanic Gardens

A temporary installation in response to the universal themes of heritage, memory and identity.

Jan 29, 2014 | By Staff Writer

Angles of Incidence is the result of the third Singapore International Foundation-British Council Artist-in-Residence Exchange (SIF-BC AiRx) programme featuring Singaporean artist-architect Randy Chan and British artist Philippa Lawrence. Following residencies and interactions with communities in each otherā€™s cities ā€“ Singapore and London ā€“ Chan and Lawrence have created a site-specific collaborative installation which will be launched at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on 14 January 2014.Ā 

ā€œAngles of Incidence comprises reflective multi-faceted steel pods placed beneath the canopy of an 80 year-old Kapok tree to create a dynamic relationship between the installation and its environment. Visitors will experience the oscillation between the installation and nature as the reflective installation merges into and emerges from the landscape.ā€Ā Tolla Sloane, Curator

Being Singaporeā€™s first nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the gardens provides a befitting backdrop for both artists to create a temporary installation in response to the universal themes of heritage, memory and identity.
