Unity

Unity is a sculpture by Indonesian artist But Muchtar, recorded in Singapore as an art spot near Fort Canning Park. Fort Canning Park provides a historic hilltop setting in Singapore. The work emerged from the ASEAN Sculpture Symposium, a regional gathering that used art to express cooperation among member countries. The symposium brought together artists from ASEAN member countries. Artists from across the region contributed sculptures, with related works representing Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. The symposium’s sculptures were displayed at Fort Canning Park. Professor Dr Mochtar Kusumaatmadja, Indonesia’s foreign minister, unveiled Unity at its public presentation. The park contains other significant artworks and historical landmarks. Unity links But Muchtar’s sculpture with regional artistic exchange and ASEAN cooperation. Its setting connects public art with Singapore’s cultural history. The recorded story presents Unity as part of a wider body of sculpture shaped by collaboration among Southeast Asian artists.
