Public Power

The first thing that striked me when I read the title was the challenging of authority - public power.

But it is more than just that. It's about audience participation.

Participants can engage with the artwork by rearranging the sculptures according to suit their personal taste.



This colourful piece is artist Twardzik Ching Chor Leng's fifth public installation.



The artist's interest is in exploring how art can exist both within and beyond traditional art spaces. By using elements of contemporary architecture such as stainless steel, and mass-produced industrial and household objects.

Well, "every man is an artist" says German artist/shaman Joseph Beuys.
