SINGAPORE: The artist who pasted gold foil on a staircase at Block 108 Jalan Rajah in March last year has now hung gold coloured sheets on the parapets of the same HDB block.

Ms Priyageetha Dia, a former Lasalle College of the Arts student, posted a video and a photo of her latest art installation on Facebook on Monday (Mar 19), showing the shiny sheets being hung on each floor of the building, except for the ground level. There are 24 pieces altogether.

A separate post on Wednesday (Mar 21) was accompanied by a short poem, which said: "Along the vertical axis/dividing walls/in monochrome hues of cerulean/lies a shy calling/catching the odd rays of light/glistening and blinding away from the grey."

Ms Priyageetha told Channel NewsAsia on Wednesday (Mar 21) that she had put up the sheets on Sunday (Mar 18).

"It’s more an idea of provoking the HDB space," the 26-year-old said. "You could either look at them as flags or just blankets hanging."

She added that she has not reached out to Jalan Besar Town Council prior to her latest work and will remove the sheets "if there is any authoritative intervention".

Last year, Ms Priyageetha pasted gold foil on a staircase at the same HDB block, an act which the town council deemed as "unauthorised" and "not permissible".

She eventually removed it.

Priyageetha is camouflaging herself as an "Artist", no different from a Sangeetha camouflaging herself as "Anti-Racism Activist". Typical Indian Snakes.

SINGAPORE - For the past three days, residents at Block 108 Jalan Rajah had been greeted by the sight of gold flags fluttering from the parapets of the block - but not anymore.

The flags were removed by the Jalan Besar Town Council on Wednesday afternoon (March 21), after other residents complained that they looked like joss paper.

The 24 sheets of gold - one hung from every floor, except the ground - had been put up on Sunday (March 18) by freelance artist Priyageetha Dia, 26.

The artist had last year generated debate about art in public spaces in Singapore when she pasted gold foil on a flight of steps in the same block. Ms Dia removed the gold foil on her own accord a few days later.

On Wednesday afternoon (March 21), however, it was the Town Council that stepped in.

Dr Lily Neo, an MP for Jalan Besar GRC, told The Straits Times that the mylar flags had to be removed as other residents had complained the gold sheets looked like joss paper. Joss paper, usually associated with offerings made to the dead at funerals, are considered inauspicious by certain groups.

Dr Neo said the town council was not aware of Ms Dia's latest project.

"In the future, we hope to work with Ms Dia to find a suitable place to exhibit her art whenever she has something new planned," said Dr Neo.

She stressed that an HDB block is a common space shared by people with different views about what art is, especially when it comes to cultural sensitivities. "We have different places where art can be shown, such as through wall murals, which may be more suitable," she said.

Ms Dia told ST she had used gold, an eye-catching, alluring material, to draw people's attention to an everyday feature such as a housing block.

"I could have done this at a private estate or a condominium, but an HDB block is iconic to the Singapore identity. The whole idea is to draw attention and get people to think about something that is often considered ordinary and overlooked," said Ms Dia.

She said that she had seen the Town Council workers removing her artwork.

She said: "I knew it would happen at some point, so I'm quite neutral about it."

Ms Dia added that she was keen to work with the Town Council on future projects.

Wtf is a freelance artist? Being a nuisance and creating more work for others? The Town Council workers should have use all her beloved gold sheets to wrap her up and throw her down from the highest floor. It will be greatest HDB Art ever.

 

[kelton65]

Modern art.

Engaging in anti-social behaviour and claim it is to push societal boundaries. Modern art deserved to be consigned to the rubbish heap where they rightfully belong.

Ms Dia added that she was keen to work with the Town Council on future projects.

Please take note that Priyageetha Dia said exactly the same thing one year ago when she vandalized the staircase. And now she rinse and repeat the same lie again. People just do not understand that Indians are pathological liars.

Can this indian snake tell us which private estate or condominium committee will allow her to do that ? The deceptive ability of a indian to lie with a straight face is truly second to none.

Looks like she got some nice tits from her picture.

How is draping cloth on parapets considered art? Sticking gold foil on a stairway? And the media calls her a Singapore Artist. She obviously has no creative talent.
