Public Power
Interactive Art
by Twardzik Ching Chor Leng (Singapore)

Audience participation wanted — put yourself on display and get in touch with the hidden artist in you. Twardzik Ching Chor Leng's fifth public installation in Singapore is an interactive work that features colourful mobile magnetic rods.

You are free to engage with the artwork by rearranging the sculptures according to your personal taste. What’s uniquely interesting about the experience is observing how the creative arrangements you and others make can completely transform the look and feel of the installation.

Artist Chor Leng’s interest is in exploring how art can exist both within and beyond traditional art spaces. She grounds her artwork in the present by using elements of contemporary architecture such as stainless steel, and mass-produced industrial and household objects. By setting up her sculptures in public areas such as office spaces, shopping malls, cafés and underground tunnels, and by encouraging her audiences to interact with her installations, Chor Leng firmly endorses German artist/shaman Joseph Beuys’s statement that “every man is an artist”.
