Eat your Pun Tarts, 2007
Substation Gallery, Singapore
The pineapple tart - a favorite pastry laid in the multi-compartment biscuit trays on coffee tables at every possible cultural festival in Singapore. Its origins are unclear – perhaps it’s a recipe passed down generations or is it a typically Malay pastry? It is certainly the ubiquitous festive goodie! To add to this confusion, it was crafted into a performance; a communal pineapple-tart making session with a twist! Each participant had to create an extraordinary tart containing puns. The baking session was another of my pursuit to relational art in engaging the participants to be part of the performance.
