Earth Work, originally staged at the National Museum Art Gallery In 1980 by Singaporean artist Tang Da Wu, was one of the earliest exhibitions of land art in Singapore. Earth Work 1979, a restaging of selected works from the seminal 1980 exhibition, revisits Tang's then unparalleled usage of organic materials and public spaces. This catalogue delves deeper into Tang's practice and the circumstances of the creation of his earth works through a rich copmendium of essays, interviews, newspaper articles and never-before-seen photo-documentation.

From November 2016 to August 2017, Vietnamese-born Danish artist Danh Vo, who often draws upon personal experience to explore broader historical, social or political themes in his work, presents a series of new sculptures at National Gallery Singapore as part of his first outdoor installation in Singapore. A continuation of his existing practice, the installation explores issues of cross-cultural identity and the definition of cultural values. This accompanying catalogue delves deeper into both Danh's practice as well as broader discussions surrounding cross-cultural identity through essays by leading scholar Professor Nora Taylor and Gallery curator Charmaine Toh, alongside full-colour images of the commissioned work.
