Synopsis
National 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.

Discover how atmospheric sounds, wind-activated chimes and spontaneous musical gestures can transform the sculpture into a dynamic, living instrument, inviting contemplation and healing.

Temporary Obsessions speaks to the small departures that drift away from mastery and the perfected - brief infatuations, speculative detours, experiments that flirt with failure.
