Distributed for the NTU Centre for Co ntemporary Art
Public art integrates landscape architecture, urban planning, and cultural management to create a sense of place. This book, dstributed for the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art, documents a major public art commission in Singapore, featuring works by artists Dan Graham, Zul Mahmod, TomÁs Saraceno, and Yinka Shonibare, and represents a unique collaboration between Nanyang Technology University Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore and Mapletree Investments—a Singaporean state-owned property developer with global operations. Essays and interviews with the artists tell the story of the regional histories, urban politics, and collaboration that went into the successful creation of a public space. Culture City. Culture Scape. is a much-needed resource on the role that art can play in public education and social corporate investment in urban Asia.
