French contemporary artist Lionel Sabatté will create sculptures in the street as part of Art Outreach during the Singapore Art Week
Organized by Art Outreach, Art Encounters is taking place from 12 January to 2 February 2020 in the heart of Orchard Road and features one of the most renowned French contemporary artists Lionel Sabatté (b. 1975, Toulouse, France).
As artist-in-residence, Sabatté will create sculptures on Orchard Road from 12 to 16 January inside a 20ft shipping container repurposed into mobile artist’s studio and gallery. The artist will create the sculptures in full view of the public, with the sculptures remaining on display until 2 February 2020 (closed 25-27 Jan for Chinese New Year) before travelling to unique sites around Singapore over three years.
The Art Encounters initiative will then move to a new site in February 2020 featuring a new artist and artwork. At each site, an artist will be invited to create an artwork in residence, giving the public rare insight into the fascinating artmaking process that is often concealed in traditional exhibitions. The completed artwork will remain on display for a few months, enriched by a series of talks and dialogues with the artist and other relevant speakers.
Art Encounters is conceived to extend robust visual art programming to the public throughout the year and beyond Singapore’s art precincts, creating space for encounters with art in daily life and unexpected sites.
