May I have your words? Join me at an exhibition this weekend
The Substation’s ‘MinimART 4.0′ invites artists to push the boundary of art, and for this challenge I decided to activate my Word Collection in Singapore.
I am very pleased to invite you to the show, but if you are unable to come or you do not live in Singapore, fear not!

You can do this before the exhibition opens to make sure your words become part of the sculpture, or do it during and after the event – the Word Collection Project is an ongoing, living, evolving text artwork.
