locality, landmarks and identity. Students are invited to explore these issues
from Singapore's own "Merlion" to Botero's "Bird" along Boat Quay.

Nyoman Nuarta - a Monograph of an Indonesian Sculptor
 This portfolio features artist / sculptor Nyoman Nuarta and was created to highlight
his exhibition of 31 sculptures installed around the grounds of United World College
(SEA) from Sept to Oct 2003. Nuarta is largely concerned with notions of boundaries

of violence as a means to solve dilemma, and for the role of each one of us in
the world we live. It also looks at how the materials used by the artist complement

Land and Environmental Art
 This portfolio explores how the tradition of painted landscapes was radically
transformed in the 1960s when some artists stopped merely representing the land
but made their mark directly onto the environment itself. Land and Environmental
Art can take many forms - as a temporary arrangement of natural materials found
in a location, as a performance within a landscape, or as a more permanent sculpture
that is designed to merge with the changing environment around it.
These artworks often deal with themes and ideas about man and nature, especially in regard to ecology and the way that man has manipulated and abused his natural surroundings. Going beyond the politics of the environment, the work, like traditional landscape painting, often seeks to tap into gander themes about earth, nature, the universe and our place within this system. » Please contact us to see full portfolio. |
