From Natural History to National Kitchen: Food in the Museums of Singapore, 20062017
From Natural History to National Kitchen: Food in the Museums of Singapore, 20062017 By: Nicole Tarulevicz and Sandra Hudd Abstract Taking museum exhibitions, publications, and restaurants as a focus, this essay explores how food is used and represented in museums in Singapore, revealing a wider story about nationalism and identity. It traces the transition of food from an element of exhibitions, to a focus of exhibitions, to its current position as an appendage to exhibition. The National Museum is a key site for national meaningmaking and we examine the colonial natural history drawings of William Farquhar in several iterations; how food shortages during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore during World War II have been used for nationbuilding; and hawker food as iconography and focus of culinary design objects. Issues of national identity within a multi ethnic society are then highlighted in the context of the National Kitchen restaurant at the National Gallery of Singapore. Key Words: Singapore, museums, hawker food, memory, nation building Introduction From Berlin’s Deutsches Currywurst Museum to Seoul’s Museum Kimchikan (formerly Kimchi Museum), food is increasingly taking center stage in museums. Food also makes regular appearances in conventional museums and galleries, be that the Julia Child exhibition at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D. C., or an exhibition on food cravings at London’s Science Museum. New Zealand’s giant kiwifruit is just one of very many giant tributes intended to attract tourists. The Southeast Asian citystate of Singapore is well known as a foodie destination and it should come as no surprise that there has been a growing interest, in the last decade, in including food and foodways as content in Singapore’s cultural institutions.

The two exhibitions, An Exercise of Meaning in a Glitch Season by National Gallery Singapore, and Time Passes by Singapore Art Museum, are helmed by independent curators, and spotlight established and emerging local contemporary artists and their work. The exhibitions are part of Proposals for Novel Ways of Being, an unprecedented initiative by the two museums in partnership with 10 other local art institutions, independent art spaces and art collectives.
