Biodata – Wearable Forms of Art

News

01

Inspired by the “Siapa Nama Kamu” exhibit housed within National Gallery Singapore, the Gallery & Co. team invited a diverse mix of creatives across fields of art and design to craft a visual response to a given theme. The end result is a vivid and extensive collection of contemporary artworks in three sub-themes – Majulah (launched Jul 2016), Biodata (launching 26 Nov 2016) and State of Mind (launching in Jan 2017).

Launched in conjunction with Singapore’s 51st birthday, The Artist Project is a series of merchandise primed to celebrate and tell the Singapore story through usable and wearable forms of art. Biodata showcases the flora, fauna and landscapes that the artists wish to portray as Singapore. The participating artists are Adeline Tan (Singapore), Agriardi (Indonesia), Aiko Fukawa (Japan), Estella Ng (Singapore), Jovian Lim (Singapore) and Ripple Root (Singapore)
