Huayi - Chinese Festival of Arts 2005:
Construction of Diversity within a Cultural Landscape
Khiew Huey Chian
Singapore

14 Jan 2005 (Fri), 9.00 AM - 23 Feb 2005 (Wed), 11.00 PM at the esplanade Concourse



An installation depicting how people from different backgrounds and environments address or react to cultural conditions or conditioning. Be it people who are promoting the preservation of culture and tradition or those exploring new grounds and various levels of culture.

A palette of red enamel paints coat the wooden planks, making immediate visual connections with different aspects of Chinese culture. Each configuration suggests the numerous interpretations people have of this culture, stemming from their different backgrounds and upbringing. Eventually, these ideas form dialogues addressing, questioning and celebrating the importance of culture and tradition, which continue to be enriched by different forms at different times in different generations.

Admission is Free.
