NATIONAL GALLERY SINGAPORE

In commemorating Singapore’s 55th National Day, National Gallery

Singapore projected Ong’s Capacity & Opportunity onto the

museum’s exterior, illuminating the façade with colour.

Capacity & Opportunity explores the relationship between

individuals, the digital screens they use, and the digital spaces they

inhabit. Ong’s composition, brushwork, and colours are inspired by

the figurative and gestural abstraction of Affandi’s Self Portrait

(1975).

The Gallery’s façade illumination is part of precinct-wide light-up of

monuments and cultural institutions in the Civic District and

Bras.Basah.Bugis precinct.
