Be a Part of international artist, Martin Creed’s Work No. 1343 at National Gallery Singapore!

With the upcoming exhibition by National Gallery Singapore, Minimalism: Space. Light. Object, the Gallery would like to invite members of the public to be part of Work No. 1343 by British artist Martin Creed. The work aims to bring together a mix of handcrafted and mass produced, old and new design from Singapore and the world, whereby every single piece of tableware, glassware, cutlery, chair and table is unique. Playfully blurring the boundaries between art and functionality, conceptual rigour and poetry of the everyday, the work’s extraordinary potential lies in this multitude of creative perspectives and objects’ individual histories.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Donations of colourful, vibrant, distinctive objects – old and new, extravagant, classic or just functional, and in good condition! In particular: café and bar furniture (tables, high and low chairs), plates and bowls (dinner plate, dessert / side plates, steak board), cups and mugs (alcohol glasses, coffee and tea cups), and cutlery. We want your smile too, when imagining your beloved items in this new environment.

THE PROCESS IS SIMPLE

Snap a picture of your possible donation, submit it to this web address.

We would appreciate all contributions by yourself and your readers in creating this one-of-a-kind (and super Instagrammable) installation, and we’re excited to host you at the Gallery soon to see how your items have been used in the artwork!
