(31st Oct 2006 - 3rd Jan 2007)
Singapore, 27th October 2006
- Arts on the Move was launched on 11th Sep 2006.
Since the start of the tour, the pair of sculptures
has visited some of Singapore's prime shopping malls
and tourist attractions.
Arts on the Move is going to Singapore
Central Business District! Marketspace would like
to announce that One Fullerton will be hosting the
Arts on the Move business district tour starting from
31st Oct 2006 till 27th Nov 2006.
One Fullerton across from The Fullerton
Hotel Singapore is located at the strategic crossroads
of the Central Business District, Suntec City and
the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, and situated
next to the Merlion Park, it also offers stunning
sea views. Yet its proximity to the Central Business
District affords patrons and visitors a close link
to the pulse of the business world.
One more sculpture will be added to
the existing pair during its tour in the Central Business
District. The sculptures will then be moving on to
Far East Square – Fire Gate from 27th Nov 2006
till 3rd Jan 2007.
“Arts on the Move” inspires
to change the concept and impression of sculpture
arts. With the tour in the central business district,
we hope to add vibrancy to the Central Business District.
People working in the area can expect to see these
unique sculptures within reach of their workplace.This
is an initiative to make sculpture arts available
to people from all walks of life and business travellers
visiting Singapore.
The 3 art pieces showcase during the
Arts on the Move tour are created by famous home-grown
artist Mr. Sun Yu-li. So far, these artworks have
already been appreciated by many visitors when there
are on display at major shopping malls and prime tourist
attractions.Arts on the Move is co-sponsored by Rhema
Events and Arts Services Pte Ltd and is supported
by National Arts Council.
Concept of - Land Before Time
At the beginning of civilisation, nature and people
co-existed in peaceful harmony. There was a common
ground amongst different people and cultures, where
differences went away for all to share and celebrate
in the same way, everyday activities like hunting,
dancing, worshipping, celebration, fishing, courtship,
parenthood, friendship, collaboration and nature."Land
before Time" reminds us how Singapore's melting
pot of diversity sets a wonderful example to this
world, of different races and religions living in
peaceful harmony. (See below for sculpture's images)
Venues and Dates
The display will be at 2 locations of the Central
Business District starting from 31st October 2006
till 3rd Jan 2007. This is the first step of a longer
term plan to bring Sun Yu-li's sculptures on a tour
around Asia and the world's major cities.

About Artist
Sun Yu-li has been actively involved in Singapore
and regional arts scene for the last 20 years. He
was the winner of the prestigious 1991 Republic of
China Modern Sculpture Award and has also been involved
in many high-profile projects, like the China-Singapore
Suzhou Industrial Park Sculpture.
Sun Yu-li’s sculptures and artworks
can be found in many locations around Singapore, such
as the Ministry of National Development, the Ministry
of Information, Communication & Arts, Paragon,
Suntec City, URA Center, Dhoby Ghaut MRT station and
several other commercial and government buildings.
Sun Yu-li’s work has also been
featured in Singapore-China postal stamps, Singapore
commemorative coins and EZ-link cards.
The sculptor’s 30 years of research
into the Universal Language, a language explaining
the origin of life from a dot (node/landmark), extending
to a line (path/boundary), spreading to a plane (place/domain),
finally forming the volume (architectural space/existential
space), is the guiding principle behind the creation
of Land before Time.
Land before Time in itself embodies
the language of life – the Universal Language.
