Be mesmerised by the lights, sounds and greenery around you at Artists' night Out 2017.
This year's edition will feature art pieces set amidst the natural beauty of Dhoby Ghaut Green. Brought to you by the National Parks Board, the event aims to shine a light on the beautiful and dynamic park spaces around us.
Light Display - "Enchanted Forest"
Presented by Unearthed Productions, immerse yourself in a feast for the senses, where a harmony of light, sound and art await you. For two nights, the majestic rain trees of Dhoby Ghaut Green will be lighted up in an array of colours, accompanied by the cathartic sound of the natural landscape. This gives the space a different perspective, turning a city park into an enchanted forest.
Art installations
- Funky Fungi by Aileen Toh and NParks
Funky Fungi, as the name suggest, is a funky interpretation of the magical world of mushrooms. No two are alike in the enchanted forest. Sprouting out from the beautiful open lawn, the installation aimed to integrate man-made sculptures into the natural landscape in an organic manner. Both NParks and Aileen hopes this installation encourages the public to appreciate the green spaces around them.
- Whimsical Daydreams by Teo Huey Ling
Whimsical Daydreams was an outcome of indulgence in playfulness and whimsical imagination away from the mundane of everyday life. Perch on local wood salvage from pruned and felled trees, it reminiscence nature's attributes in our urban city, of warmness from the wood and the artist's adaptation of organic forms in cool white of porcelain clay. The work invites and urged its viewer to take part in the voyage of creating new stories so as to expand their personal urban daydreams.
- Bellyhive by Madhvi Subrahmaniam
The Bellyhives, made in a mold of the artist's pregnant belly, correlates entomological and anatomical forms to reference commonalities between beehives and the human body. Attached to the trees, they attempt to capture the attention of the viewer to pause and consider the dual nature of existence that of interconnection and individuality, dependence and self-reliance. Aptly situated in the middle of the city the sculpture also draws parallel between the beehive as a structured colony and the human built city.
- Glowing Crittens by PlaystreetsSG
Following on last year's success, PlaystreetsSG returns with another interactive installation to stimulate your artistic juices, exercise your drawing skills or show-off your talents! Gather your family and friends, pick up a cup and draw your favourite fauna of the forest. When you're done, attach it to the canopy to help create a stunning masterpiece.
