An absurd, poetic and disturbing image of two men whose heads are stuck inside in a jar of
swimming goldfish. They wander about town, questioning passers-by who thus become
participants in this comical yet disconcerting act. Dressed in suits, they could be ordinary
tourists, if not for the bowl around their heads, rendering communication next to impossible.

since its inception before 3500 BCE.
This interactive installation by Singaporean artist Ryf Zaini draws inspiration from different
wheeled and mechanical artefacts in the newly revamped Singapore History Gallery. Into
Pulsar is juxtaposed with elements of the bicycle, its motorised successor and technological
advancements in the two-wheeled domain, and initiates a dialogue between the inventions of
the past and the cutting-edge developments of today.
At the base of the six-metre tall installation, museum visitors are invited to activate the
coloured lighting in the structure by pedalling the bicycle, tricycle and hand-cranked device.
Almost clockwork-like, the pedalling further activates the gears, sprockets and the wheels
fitted at the top of the structure.

.
Page 14 of 58
How does a space reveal the imprints of its past? How does its history inform the potential for
its future? Examining the building of The Substation as a window into understanding both The
Substation's past and its future, the Rubble Project introduces a series of artistic interventions
into the now obsolete box office. Incisions and intrusions into the space expose the contested
histories embodied within its scars, marks and ruins, reactivating the box office as a site for
alternative imaginings.
Transforming the interior of the box office into a fluid light environment, Murmuration uses an
interplay of light and shadow to explore different ways of encountering the space. Ong Kian
Peng's multimedia installation re-animates the flow of movement within the box office
space. As light pulsates through a space long forgotten, dormant space appears to breath
again.

SATURDAY 20 AUGUST
bittymacbeth (Singapore)
6pm – 6.30pm
Good songs come out of bad times.
This is an idea central to the music of one-womanband bittymacbeth, whose debut album Beauty For
Ashes hit #1 three days after its release on iTunes
and Apple Music on the Top R&B/Soul songs charts
in Singapore.
bittymacbeth's music exudes jazz sensibilities, radiofriendly melodies, funky basslines and a whole lot of
soul. She has held her own as a modern soul artiste
on 987 Home with Joakim Gomez twice (23 Jan and
30 April), Timbre Music and Guinness Amplify
Presents: Singapore Originals (August 2015's
featured artiste of the month), 100+50 bands festival
and Getai Soul on the same stage as Barry
Likumahuwa (JKT) and Charlie Lim.
bittymacbeth first turned heads during the second
Singapore-West Australian Music (WAM) Festival
collaboration in mid-2014. She was one of the 15
Singaporean artistes shortlisted by Singapore Music
Society (SGMUSO) for the consideration of the WAM
Festival committee, despite having made her solo
debut only six months prior.
She will launch her full-length album Beauty for Ashes
on 31 May at the Esplanade Recital Studio, where
she will be joined by opening acts Ariane Deborah
and Shak, as well as special guest performers Dru
Chen, Tim De Cotta, Zeeaura, Inch Chua and
Benjamin Kheng.

Tali Mahoney (Australia)
7pm – 7.45pm
Tali's indie-pop-melancholy piles in as much optimism
as it can muster without forgetting a necessary dose
of reality.
The opening singles from the debut EP, the scuzzy
gloss of ‘Pre Loved’, and the pure pop of "Unhealthy"
hint at an impressive body of solo work, for an artist
who has made a reputation as the front woman of
Melbourne rock outfit Biddlewood. Tali's solo material
is produced by Jarrad Brown, who has a golden ear
for identifying incredible talent (King Gizzard and
Dorsal Fins) and draws on a rich range of influences
such as St Vincent, Bully and Frankie Cosmos.
Tali's EP will be released independently this
September 2016. In the meantime, catch Tali's live
show—it's a winner.

pop prowess and a percolating rhythm section,

and makers alike.
Formed in 2013 by Melbourne-based singersongwriter Eilish Gilligan, and key members of the
instrumental soul band The Cactus Channel (Darvid
Thor, Henry Jenkins, Lewis Coleman and Hudson
Whitlock), Frida’s spell has cast itself from Lorne’s
Falls Festival to as far as Singapore’s annual
Page 24 of 58
Baybeats Festival, leaving hundreds in thrall to their
melodic swell.
In 2015, the band released their debut double A-side
Slowly/I Want It All, which garnered praise from the
likes of Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, Bandcamp and
Frankie Magazine. The young group also announced
the creation of Wyall Style, a sub-label founded and
run by Frida, in collaboration with renowned local
label Hopestreet Recordings.

parade is nothing short of paradise.

Maximum capacity is 120

About Ed Carter
Ed Carter devises and creates musical compositions and interdisciplinary projects that
are context-specific, with a focus on process, and the translation of shared architectonic
principles across art forms. He takes patterns, associations, and chronologies, and uses
these to form the structures of new site-specific work.
He has collaborated with a huge range of partners including architects, scientists,
engineers and programmers, and has received awards and commissions from diverse
sources, such as Arts Council England, Ordnance Survey, Channel 4, Cancer Research
UK, festivals, venues, and the Royal Academy of Engineers.
40,000 people visited Ed Carter’s 2012 project ‘~Flow‘ (a collaboration with Owl Project),
which was commissioned as part of Artists Taking the Lead, a series of large-scale public
art commissions funded by the UK Arts Councils celebrating the London 2012 Olympic

and Paralympic Games. ~Flow was a tidemill – a floating mill house moored on the River
Tyne (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK), housing a series of wooden musical machines
powered by a 4.5m waterwheel, which responded to the constantly changing environment
of the tidal river.
Ed also releases music as Winter North Atlantic (http://winternorthatlantic.com). The
