Tuan Andrew Nguyen Presents Temple at National Gallery Singapore

Tuan Andrew Nguyen presents Temple, a new commission for the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission at the National Gallery Singapore, co-presented with the Singapore Art Museum as part of the 8th Singapore Biennale 2025.

In Temple, metal discs, chimes, and bells made from alloys of defused unexploded ordnance — carefully removed from the landscape of Quảng Trị in central Vietnam — are tuned to frequencies believed to promote healing in the human body. Suspended from a painted steel structure, the installation is activated through human touch and the subtle rhythms of the surrounding atmosphere, inviting visitors to participate in the creation of an evolving ambient soundscape.

Dates: 29 October 2025 – 11 October 2026
