Gallery Singapore presents Temple by Tuan Andrew Nguyen, a multi-sensorial
installation which fuses personal memory and material histories of the
American war in Vietnam. Featuring percussive instruments crafted from
defused unexploded ordnance (UXO) carefully removed from the landscape of
Quảng Trị in central Vietnam, the installation invites visitors to strike the
suspended shells, gongs, and chimes to generate a meditative soundscape.
Temple is the Gallery’s first rooftop installation to integrate participative motion and sound. When struck, the percussive elements produce carefully tuned frequencies designed to complement one another. |
