Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission: Shilpa Gupta

The latest title in this book series presents Indian artist Shilpa Gupta’s monumental inflatable sculpture, Untitled. The sculpture depicts the dualities of our innermost struggles and the externalities around us. This book includes a curatorial essay that situates Gupta’s new work in relation to her art practice and other global sociopolitical forces as well as a full colour photo documentation of the sculpture against the backdrop of Singapore’s skyline. It also features a guest essay written by a well-known mental health professional who engages with the artist’s take on the human conditions. The last section of the book is a set of colourfully illustrated activity sheets, co-developed with an art therapist, that children and adults can use to navigate their emotions and responses towards conflict and other difficult issues.
