Inspired by the textile industry of Southeast Asia, Yann Follain, co-founder of WY-TO Architects, has designed a Floating Skeleton at Art Stage Singapore to greet the fair’s visitors. The wire-framed floating structure will act as a gateway to Asia’s global art fair. The over-sized loom theme follows through into the new VIP area – The Whirl. Follain has deliberately used lines (representing thread), color, light and textures to represent the diverse and differentiating cultural influences on the established textile industry of Southeast Asia. More images and architects’ description after the break.
As Art Stage Singapore celebrates its third year, visitors can expect to experience an altogether new sense of arrival thanks to a collaboration with WY-TO. The Parisian / Singaporean founded architecture firm specializing in art installation and exhibition design, will ensure that VIP visitors to the exhibition feel both a heightened sense of drama and privacy.
