Synopsis:
RAID explores the intricacies of site as narrator within the historic Tiong Bahru Air Raid Shelter. Rarely opened to the public, the 1,500 sqm site has a long history dating as far back as 1939 during air raids by the Japanese in the 1940s and has been not significantly changed since.
It extends the literature of site responsivity through the lens of 8 up and coming artist working across fields of sculpture, installation and conceptual art. Through RAID, each of the artist will present their interpretation of the loaded site - intuitively, architecturally or historically.
RAID features works by artist-organizers Daniel Chong, Zulkhairi Zulkiflee and participating artist, Ivan David Ng, Tay Ining, Vanessa Lim, Jacqueline Sim, Pooja Kanade, and Nhawfal Juma'at.
