The Museum is Melting!

Singapore sculptor Yeo Chee Kiong's installation transforms the brick and plaster columns of the Museum's rotunda into a living body experiencing the ravages of climate change.

In his installation of "A Day Without A Tree", global warming has melted the solid forms of this building into a white fluid.

The reality of global climate change has taken a long time to enter broad public consciousness and is still being debated today. Likewise, this installation also works through its exploitation of the slowness of human perception in detecting certain types of change. When one encounters the work, one first sees the huge 'spill' on the floor. It may take longer to notice the deformations and alterations in the columns surrounding the 'spill'.

Go see it before everything melts away!
