The Substation – Salon series – Abstraction and the City

July 7, 2017 @ 7:30 pm9:00 pm UTC+8

The Substation - Salon series - Abstraction and the City

Abstraction and the City is a lecture from the Salon series, part of The Substation’s Discipline The City program for 2017.

The utopia that is Singapore has been founded on an ideal social order and reflected in the regularity and standardization of urban textures. The works of local artists, Jeremy Sharma and Anthony Poon, are explored within the context of the structured impersonality of the urban fabric and the circumscribed modes of social life that has for long been associated with post-independence Singapore.
