Embark on an artful journey through the iconic Rail Corridor with our Public Art Tour: Singapore Deviation. Held on the third Saturday of every month*, SAM’s public art team will take you on a unique exploration of the Rail Corridor’s transformation from colonial railway to wildlife corridor and recreational trail through the works of three artists: Sookoon Ang, Hilmi Johandi, and Tan Pin Pin.
Presented by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum (SAM), Singapore Deviation: Wander with Art through the Rail Corridor offers a unique perspective on the evolving uses of this historic site.
You will have the opportunity to encounter these artworks and gain deeper insights into the artistic process and effort behind their creation. Discover how public art encourages us to reflect on our perception of the world and serves as a catalyst for curiosity, imagination, and meaningful conversations that transform our everyday experiences.
This guided tour is suitable for all ages, and we encourage participants aged 12 and below to be accompanied by an adult.
*with the exception of November’s tour happening on 9 Nov 2024.
