The World Outside
by artist Tang Ling Nah
in collaboration with design collective atelier | small
Singapore
Tang uses charcoal, paint and paper together with the inclusion of architectural and furniture elements in her work. She creates ‘rooms’ along the Tunnel to provide an experience of illusion and reality, memory and imagination, private and public space, still life and landscape.
She hopes to encourage urban dwellers to slow down, linger and ponder upon questions such as "What and where is this 'world outside'?"; "Have I been there before?"; "Why was I there, who was with me?”, and “Why am I here now and who am I waiting for?”

Biographies
Tang Ling Nah has exhibited her work in the 2nd Singapore Biennale, and also in the 11th International Architecture Biennale in Venice (Singapore Pavilion) in 2008. Her work reflects the conditions of the modern city, particularly its speed and the lack of interpersonal intimacy in urban life. She was awarded the Young Artist Award (Art) by the National Arts Council, Singapore in 2004.

atelier | small was founded in 2010 by three National University of Singapore architecture undergraduates. Their contemplation of space, materials, details and sustainability is reflected in their design approach in which simple and thoughtful ideas are conceived in pursuance of enrichment of the environment.

滨海艺术中心隧道
2010年11月12日至2011年1月2日《外面的世界》
由艺术家陈玲娜和设计组合 atelier | small 协作
(新加坡)
玲娜利用炭笔、颜料和纸张,并将建筑和家具的元素纳入作品
里,在这隧道画出「房间」,提供观者一个幻想与现实;记忆和想象;私人和公共空间;静物和风景的经验。

她希望通过作品鼓励城市人慢下脚步,在城市空间里逗留以及沉思:什么是「外面的世界」?它又在哪儿?;我去过那儿吗?;为什么我会去那儿?是谁陪我去那儿?;为什么现在我在这里?我在等谁呢?

简历
陈玲娜在2008年代表新加坡参加第二届新加坡双年展,以及第十一届威尼斯国际建筑双年展(新加坡展示馆)。她的作品反应了现代都市的状况,尤其是都市生活的节奏和人与人之间所缺乏的亲密性。她曾荣获2004年新加坡艺术理事会所颁发的青年艺术家奖(美术)。

于2010年由三位新加坡国立大学建筑系学生所组成。他们对空间、素材、细节和永续性的思量体现在他们的设计方式;包含了他们为求丰富我们所处的环境而设想的简单却周到的意念。
