An exciting project that is coming up in March 2011. AC – Artists Caravan is planning a site-specific and investigative project – Manicured Nature at Dairy Farm nature park.
Manicured Nature was conceived as part of Artists Caravan’s yearly project for 2011. AC is an artist collective. We facilitate projects that pilot participating artists and professionals towards exploration, experimentation and reflection. Ultimately, the process of creation revolves around three central elements – self, others and environment, and present an experiential encounter for both participants and community.
The project is envisaged to be a collaboration and dialogue of creative professionals from varying discipline background, during a 1.5 months residency, at the newly ‘operational’ Dairy Farm Nature Park in the central of Singapore Island. Artists will be supplied an info pack which will include guidelines and background information to the site. Being well informed and rooted in actual experience, of investigating our local bioregion of high ecological and heritage value, Participants will eventually respond through their creative process utilizing individual’s forte.Artworks that are anticipated to be produced maybe, site – specific installations that employs natural resources as medium or performances that are integrated into nature’s ecosystem, and other more structural pieces (drawings, sculptures, printmakings).
During course of the residency and process of art-making, interested and committed individuals and school groups will be arranged to work in close partnership with MN’s participants.
