Description

Sui Jianguo¸ Professor and Chairman of the Department of Sculpture, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, is one of the most important and influential artists working in China today and has been the recipient of numerous awards for his work including most recently the 2011 Martell Artist of the Year award. Exhibiting extensively in many countries, he is considered by many to be within the top ten Contemporary artists in China today.

This exhibition “Restrained Power” Is a darkened room stands a hulking steel structure, a 2.5 metre high, 2.5 metre wide and 15 metre long sealed box. From within the structure escapes the crashing sound of steel-on-steel collisions that send reverberations through the floor. Looking through one of the two viewing ports in the structure, the viewer catches fleeting glimpses of the huge steel ball rolling about within. However, given the obscured view and erratic movement of the ball, it is almost impossible to predict the next collision.

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) aims to bring the public the very best in contemporary art from across the region. Set in the lush surrounds of Loewen Road, the cutting-edge artworks contrast magnificently with the colonial-era building in which they are housed. As the only museum in Singapore devoted entirely to contemporary works, and by hosting continuously changing exhibitions and installations, MOCA has positioned itself as one of the most up-to-date sources available on current trends and movements within the Asian art world.
