SUMMARY:Benchmarks
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Civic District afresh this August 2023 onwards\, with Benchmarks\, a new public art trail commissioned by the Civic District Alliance (CDA). Designed by six Singapore-based artists\, Lua Boon Kai\, Joyce Beetuan Koh\, Immanuel Koh\, Yang Jie\, Jeffrey Tan and Jason Wee\, the public art initiative features a series of six unconventional artwork benches inspired by punctuation marks dotted around the arts and culture precinct. Each art bench draws from the rich heritage of the district\, inviting visitors to have meaningful exchanges with themselves\, other visitors\, or even the surroundings while appreciating the beauty of the Civic District and its colourful stories. These art benches for Benchmarks are located at key areas of the Civic District\, such as the Asian Civilisations Museum\, The Arts House\, The Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and along the Singapore River. \nFollow #CVDBenchmarks on:\nWebsite: https://artshouselimited.sg/civic-district\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theartshouse\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theartshouse
