In Praise of Shadows ANNEX A IN PRAISE OF SHADOWS i Light Marina Bay 2016 4 to 27 March 2016 7.30pm to 11pm daily, with an extension to 12mn on Fridays and Saturdays Marina Bay waterfront promenade Free Admission www.ilightmarinabay.sg facebook.com/marinabaysg | instagram.com/marinabaysg/ | #ilightmarinabay In the fourth edition of i Light Marina Bay, the festival’s curatorial team – consisting of Mr Randy Chan, Principal Architect at Zarch Collaboratives, Singapore, and Mr Khairuddin Hori, Deputy Director of Artistic Programming at Palais de Tokyo, Paris – has introduced the theme of “In Praise of Shadows”, inspired by Junichiro Tanizaki’s seminal essay of the same title. Challenging the obsession that brighter is better and seeking to reframe perceptions of light and sustainability, the team hopes to inspire artists and festival-goers to re-imagine and reconsider sustainability issues in a new light and come together to create and sustain a harmonious relationship with our environment. From 4 to 27 March, 25 sustainable light art installations will transform Marina Bay into a kaleidoscopic display of light, colour and shadow. 1 LOCAL INSTALLATIONS MARINE CONSTELLATIONS By Lumen Artistry and Laughing Stars (Singapore and Japan) Supported by: Bizlink, Eureka Technologies, Lutron, LuxLight, Million Lighting, National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, PTP, Science Centre Singapore and Singapore Tourism Board Location: Around Marina Bay About the installation Marine Constellations seek to portray the relationship between light, our urban fabric, and the observer. Beams of lasers link the familiar skyline of Marina Bay, as if creating a new constellation in the cityscape for visitors to trace. Visitors are invited to make a wish for those close to their hearts at www.wishuponeveryshootingstar.net, and every time a camera, set up by the artists in Chiang Mai, captures a shooting star, their messages will be sent along with an image of that star. Visitors might even catch sight of a shooting star in the bay. About the artist Laughing Stars consists of Kazutaka Uchida and Takeo Sugamata, and hopes to bring more awareness to astronomy – and stars in particular – in a society that is surrounded by light pollution. Lumen Artistry comprises Mac Chan, Kelvin Alakh and Petrina Dawn Tan. Mac Chan is a multi-awarding winning theatre lighting designer based in Singapore; his past works include lighting design for several National Day Parades and the SEA Games opening ceremony in 2015. Kelvin Alakh a laser programmer with eighteen years of working experience under his belt, including work on many national events, music festivals, and theatre productions. Petrina Dawn Tan read Lighting Design and Stage Management at the Lasalle College of the Arts. Her recent projects include The Way We Go (Checkpoint Theatre), Intermezzo (Singapore Dance Theatre/Da:ns Festival 2014), and Innamorati The Musical (Toy Factory). 2 GROOVE LIGHT By Department of Architecture, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore (Singapore) Supported by BigRep GmbH and Philips Lighting Location: Mist Walk About the installation Groove Light generates geometric shadow patterns when a point light source is shone through five 3D printed lanterns, creating a carpet of light giving physical dimension – in the complex forms of the lanterns – to virtual projections. The suspended lanterns are positioned with precision to create a continuous lightscape which visitors can modify by moving the lanterns. About the artist NUS Architecture is the only programme professionally accredited by The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Board of Architects (BOA) Singapore and Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA). First established in 1958, from its germinal stage in Singapore Polytechnic, it grew into a full-fledged programme in the University of Singapore in 1969. Today, the Department offers a wide slate of programmes which include landscape architecture, urban design, urban planning and integrated sustainable design. 3 ODE TO THE WIND By School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) Location: The Float @ Marina Bay About the installation Ode to the Wind visualises the power of wind using LED lights. Using digital algorithms, the installation uses the wind’s data to create a dynamic light installation, with the colours and brightness of the LED lights changing with the strength of the wind. Drawing from numerous wind datasets from locations around the globe, visitors will be able to observe visualisations of the wind across continents gathered and presented in one space. About the artist Nanyang Technological University’s Interactive Media program aims at exploring a wide range of contemporary art practices, largely reliant on technological design and expressed through interactive media. The program probes interactivity as a conceptual phenomenon and provides training in authoring and working with interactive devices and gadgets, code, emerging narratives and experiences, interfaces, interactive environment, audio-visuals, haptics, multimedia performances, web systems, games and mixed reality spaces. 4 CLOCKWORK STORIES By School of Design, Nanyang Polytechnic (Singapore) Location: Lower boardwalk, near Mist Walk About the installation Clockwork Stories consists of environmental receptors which breathe out bubbles when provoked. The surrounding light sources and other elements such as wind, water current and human interactions activate these receptors. One of the receptors is The Swing and the Bubbling Turbines, which invites visitors to swing on it, working the turbines to breathe out bubbles which capture and transform light into a spectrum of colours as they fly and disappear into the air. About the artist The Nanyang Polytechnic School of Design trains and nurtures youths for the professional domains of Industrial Design, Spatial Design and Visual Communication. The Spatial Design course (or The Spatial Investigation Department), aims to nurture and cultivate students with hands-on ability to invent and execute original spatial solutions and programs that are attuned to the fast-changing world. 5 THE UNVEILED BEAUTY By School of Interactive & Digital Media, Nanyang Polytechnic (Singapore) Supported by: Possible Location: Marina Bay waterfront promenade, in front of Marina Bay City Gallery About the installation The Unveiled Beauty aims to change preconceived notions about shadows being boring and showcases how shadows can be manipulated with technology to make them interesting and fun. The installation adds a different dimension to the audiences’ shadows through a mix of suspended acrylic and manipulated light. About the artist The School of Interactive & Digital Media (SIDM) focuses on a dynamic mix of creativity, the applied arts and digital media technologies, developing creative talents for a vast spectrum of applied arts industries, such as the entertainment, edutainment, advertising and corporate communications sectors. SIDM attracts and trains both local and regional talents for Singapore’s interactive and digital media scene. 6 TERRA.GLIMMER By School of Architecture and the Built Environment, Singapore Polytechnic (Singapore) Location: Near Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay About the installation terra.glimmer seeks to explore how phosphorescent paint – more commonly known as "glow- in-the-dark" paint – can be applied practically, aesthetically and sustainably as an alternative to light. Inspired by Japanese Zen gardens, the installation consists of a bed of pebbles painted with phosphorescent paint, and encourages visitors to reflect on the reliance on fossil fuels to illuminate cities, the overabundance of urban bright lights, and the urgent need to continue seeking alternative lighting sources. About the artist Established since the 1950s, the Singapore Polytechnic School of Architecture and the Built Environment is the first school to train professionals in the built environment. It aims to create an exploratory environment that nurtures critical thinkers to be open-minded, adaptable, intrinsically motivated and grounded in the fundamentals of architectural design processes and practices. 7 CYCLE HOUSE By Hafiz Osman (Singapore) Location: Lower boardwalk, near Bayfront South jetty About the installation Cycle House is a mobile workstation combining temporary shelter and cycling. The mobility of this shelter represents a sense of nomadic livelihood of a wanderer, being adaptive to new environments and with a desire to search for new adventures. Two cycle houses have been created: the stationary house invites visitors to cycle to light up the piece while expressing their ideas of exploration by drawing on the canvas wall; the mobile house brings a more energetic, disco-themed performance to the Bay. About the artist Hafiz Osman graduated with a Masters in Fine Arts from Lasalle College of the Arts in 2008. His practice comprises art installations as well as illustration-based works. He is also a keen collaborator with community projects and other participatory works. Osman’s artwork collects and records personal experiences, relating to ideas of time and space. These documentations aim to present social, cultural and political issues through a more personal lens. 8 SONICtower By Zulkifle Mahmod (Singapore) Co-created by Martin Professional Location: The Float @ Marina Bay About the installation SONICtower comprises four zones with a total of 320 solenoids and LED lights to create a rhythmic sound and light scape within

    2018 Artist Roster Fariba Abedin Houston, TX I have always been fascinated by the beauty of nature and its integral parts, colors, and geometry. The geometric shapes and the rich colors of Persian tile works appeal to me. The architecture and structures of the most unique domes in the mosques and their unparalleled mirror works still mesmerize me, reminding me of my childhood. My work emphasizes exploration of color using geometric abstraction as my foundation. www.faribaabedin.com Our work is usually characterized by a strong profile, a sense of humor, and Actual Size Artworks excellent craftsmanship. We are especially dedicated to works that change as a Stoughton, WI viewer walks past, creating a sense of discovery and keeping up interest upon www.actualsizeartworks.com repeated viewing. Adela Andea Houston, TX Formally, my work has a very distinctive style and it presents original and cutting edge ideas. I create light installations and light sculptures using the latest technologies in the industry and a variety of materials that suit my vision for each installation. I believe that the vibrant energy and the unique aesthetics of my work will bring liveliness, color, and brightness to any site in the Houston area. www.adelaandea.com Bennie Flores Ansell Houston, TX I realize the ethereal nature of my work does not lend itself to favorable long-lasting public art installations. However, I have been printing images of the light projections on dye infused metal which can be printed very large and are very moveable as well as permanent. Most recently, I started working with a laser cutter and a 3-D printer that will allow for new and sturdy presentations of my work and ideas.

Foreword Singapore was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Design in 2015 — the same year as our nation’s Golden Jubilee. Design and Singapore’s nation-building efforts have long been intertwined. As our Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, shared during a speech in 2018: “Design is a core element of our nation-building. Singapore is a nation by design. Nothing we have today is natural or happened by itself.” While our pioneers may not have thought of what they were doing as design innovation or thinking, it certainly was in essence. They were attuned to people’s needs and aspirations, had bold ideas and a strong vision, and dared to experiment.

    EMBARGOED UNTIL 9 APRIL 2018, 0000HRS MEDIA RELEASE 9 April 2018 A WIDE RANGE OF EVENTS FOR SINGAPORE’S BICENTENNIAL COMMEMORATION IN 2019 The eclectic mix will showcase the width and depth of Singapore’s 700-year history Singapore, 9 April 2018 – The Singapore Bicentennial Office (SBO) has announced a series of events to commemorate the nation’s bicentennial in 2019. The bicentennial is an opportunity to reflect on 200 years of history from 1819, one of the key turning points that changed our trajectory. It will also examine the 500 years prior to 1819, as these formative years lend context to our evolution. Singaporeans can look forward to the Singapore Bicentennial’s anchor event: an experiential showcase held at the Fort Canning Centre from June to September 2019, which will bring Singaporeans on a reflective journey of key milestones in 700 years of Singapore’s history, and the significant contributions of Singapore’s early settlers and communities. Another anchor event in 2019 is the Find Your Place in History trails, which will feature projection installations at various historical spots, some lesser-known than others. The trails will allow Singaporeans to experience Singapore through the years, and learn of the less prominent points in our history, in-situ. Both will bring history alive in an engaging and interactive way for all Singaporeans, young and old, from all walks of life. Many events in the line-up will leverage pre-existing annual events and will feature a more purposeful look further back into Singapore’s history. Taken together, the events in the 2019 calendar will provide many opportunities for Singaporeans to reflect on our history through different platforms.
