Sculpture 2052

The First Wave of The Open City runs until 14 February. Feel free to drop us a message when you’re planning your visit.

The First Wave of the Open City is a post-residency project exploring unknown factors through the random stimulation of daily encounters both in Paris and Singapore. It started when Yeo Chee Kiong and Tan Yen Peng were in residency at Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris.

The keywords ‘roaming’ and ‘real time’ identified during the initial research period aim for a deeper approach to contemporary art beyond the simple transference of physical artworks into digital formats.

The Open City Project will be presented through Online Roaming and Onsite Roaming, inviting participants to engage with the city through tactile, visual, and embodied experiences, through a transcendental field of 3D printing and virtual world building that reintegrates classical and digital art forms in our time.

About the Talk
The First Wave of the Open City examines how classical art forms—such as sculpture, drawing, and archival photography—are recontextualised through digital innovation. The talk shares artistic perspectives developed through field-based research conducted in Singapore and Paris, framed by two guiding concepts: Roaming and Real Time.

These approaches reflect an open and responsive mode of research shaped by daily encounters, chance observations, and spontaneous interactions within urban environments. Through this process, unexpected narratives and new artistic forms emerge, offering alternative ways of understanding and engaging with the city.
