Join the revolution from 1 - 18 June 2004! Singapore's new generation of creative guerillas are transforming St James Power Station into a multi-media art extravaganza! 

Artists, designers, architects, photographers and poets from all over the world are joining forces to transform the 1920s colonial heritage site into a wonderland of fantastical surprise for all your six senses...

From street art to fine art, you will be surprised at what you'll find in unexpected nooks and crannies.  Find treasures in the creative wares up for sale.  Or help build an urban garden by bringing along your own potted plant.  Whether as participant or observer, your perception of the Singapore artscape will be altered at Reconstruction of a City!

Reconstruction of a City is a site-specific art exhibition which explores how Singaporean artists and writers perceive their personal life experiences in relation to Singapore as a city.

Cities are about building relationships between various people who participate in activities of common interest in a shared public space. Yet even as the artists and writers are looking for marks of identity that determine what is Singapore or Singaporean, they also realize they share a common human and urban condition with inhabitants of other cities.

Thus at St James Power Station, they create a “city” which reflects their visions and illusions – be it recognizable as distinctively Singaporean or with characteristics common with other cities in the world.

Reconstruction of a City is the exhibition component of Visions & Illusions, an ongoing multi-disciplinary project undertaken by over 50 leading young visual artists and writers to explore site-specific installation work.
