BLK 124 by Tang Da Wu, Lee Foo Koon, Ho Soon Yeen, Betsy Toh
Blk 124, Kim Tian Place
Block 124 is an ongoing, onsite collaborative work by Ho Soon Yeen, Betsy Toh, Lee Foo Koon and Tang Da Wu. The site that was chosen, at Block 124 Kim Tian Place, is an old HDB block of 3-room flats that is an anachronism in the midst of rising new blocks of flats. There are many associations to the said site: nostalgia, history, marginalisation, and displacement brought by urbanization. In the course of the following two months, the artists will document activities and movements at the site of the residents, and engage residents in the art-making processes. This work was performed in 2001.
