A Project of Art in the Night Race.
The new life of the floodlights.
A collective Upcycled Art Exhibition curated by Nadia Stefanel with 10 artists based in Singapore at The Arts House. From the urgency of pondering on environmental sustainability they have given a new life to the floodlights that illuminated the Formula 1 Night Race. This year with a mission to accelerate sustainable human progress, DZ Engineering SRL, a subsidiary of Dino Zoli Group, provides the lighting for the Formula 1 Night Race with a massive replacement of their floodlights, using sustainable LED lights for the upcoming 2023 Singapore Grand Prix.
In conjunction with the 2023 Race Week in Singapore, Kumari Nahappan’s ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ takes us back to our roots with an incredible array of seeds. These seeds serve as poignant reminders of our natural environment, boundles potential for new life. Each seed’ss outer surface acts as a metaphor, often appearing strangely peculiar yet capable of evolving into plants that exude unparalleled elegance. Among them, the 18-faced Rudraksha seed holds significance as a sacred item used by Hindus and Buddhists in prayer. Conversely, the rubber seed symbolises humanity’s dependence, producing essential daily necessities.
With a curious call to explore, the Cabinet of Curiosities is ingeniously crafted from repurposed floodlights, which previously illuminated 15
editions of the Grand Prix. This transformation breathes new life into these objects, inviting viewers to retrace the journey of life’s beginnings. Immerse yourself in this captivating world of seeds and rediscover the allure of nature within Kumari Nahappan’s extraordinary creation.
