National Youth Council’s public engagement program, in September, “For Your Consideration” misappropriated the techniques and methodology from theatre group Drama Box’s The Lesson (which took place across three weeks in July). This was not the first time authorities recycled or re-appropriated artworks or artists’ concepts without permission or acknowledgement. At the Singapore SEA Games in 2015, the Organising Committee used a semi-circular ping-pong table that bore a strong resemblance to artist and Cultural Medallion winner, Lee Wen’s ‘Ping Pong Go Round‘.
