Exhibition 20 Nov–30 Nov 2009 10.30am–7:00pm daily Free admission Opening Party 21 Nov 2009 7:00pm onwards Free admission The City Hall, Level 3 Lobby Triggered by a lack of meaningful and representative local souvenirs, Singapore Souvenirs is a project to explore, design and produce objects that fill this gap. A Singapore souvenir should serve as a meaningful memento for foreigners, but also act as a reflective vehicle for Singaporeans to recognise and embrace their identity. Hence, this project raises design awareness for Singaporeans while creating greater exposure for local designers on a local and international platform.
The Singapore Souvenirs exhibition features souvenirs conceptualised by 8 local designers: Winston Chai, Lee Tze Ming, Yap Hock Heng, Hans Tan, Tan Chia Wee, Edwin Low, John Chan and Yong Jieyu. For more information, please contact Winston at chai.winston@gmail.com. |
