24 Hours in Singapore is a Public Art Trust commission that features large stainless steel spheres with audio recordings of instantly recognisable sounds in Singapore’s landscape – from hawker centres to public transport. Sharpen your ears and try to distinguish the various sounds! Baet merges sculpture and sound in this installation, attempting to bring Singaporeans every life into the realm of art. Baet’s outstanding achievements in the arena of art, won him the distinguished Young Artist Award by the National Arts Council in 1995.
These sculptures by Baet Yeok Kuan are interactive installations that act as an audio time capsule, capturing the sounds of Singapore. Reflective spheres on the lawn outside the Asian Civilisations Museum. A unique addition to the lush greenery. But here’s a fact you may not know: they are more than just one of the city’s coolest Instagram props.
