Almost 8 years ago, @gillmanbarracks opened to much fanfare for the visual art community in #Singapore. I made this oversized (it’s 10 meters tall!) #billboard as a commission from #EugeneTan, the second (the first shamelessly promoted #OneHundredYearsOfSolitude at the 2nd Singapore Biennale in 2008) in line of a series of billboards that blatantly promoted a #book. There’s never an advertisement in public spaces for #books in Singapore, at least not one that I can remember. Shouldn’t culture get free airtime in our mediascape? Anyway. #WhatWeTalkAboutWhenWeTalkAboutLove. #HemanChong #Bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks FYI, my model for the day is none other than @shapes_things #GenevieveChua at the right hand bottom corner of the work.
