Step into Brandon Tay: Sangkalan, an evolving installation of a fictional island ecosystem where fragments of a “lost” coastal culture are shaped through three species — a fruit, an insect, and a bird. Together, their rhythms of growth, flight and song weave a vivid picture of how humans and nature might share perception, memory, and meaning.

Travelling across four regional libraries in Woodlands, Tampines, Jurong and Punggol, the installation unfolds as a living archive that evolves with each presentation. Visitors can encounter new elements over time, making each stop a slightly different experience. Through vibrant textiles, sculptural forms, and archival materials, Singaporean artist Brandon Tay translates the island’s collective memories into a language of colour, geometry, and symbols. Echoing the decentralised logic of blockchain networks, Sangkalan invites visitors to reimagine information systems, their origins and how nature might inspire new ways of sensing, connecting, and remembering.

Brandon Tay: Sangkalan is held in collaboration with the National Library Board. Through the Library showcases, SAM continues to extend contemporary art beyond traditional museum settings and into civic and community spaces, encouraging encounters with contemporary art in unexpected and accessible everyday environments.

走进 Brandon Tay: Sangkalan，这是一个不断演变的装置作品，呈现一个虚构的岛屿生态系统。在这里，一个“失落”的海岸文化通过三种物种——一种水果、一种昆虫和一种鸟——被塑造出来。它们在生长、飞行与鸣唱中的节奏，共同交织出一幅生动图景，展现人类与自然如何共享感知、记忆与意义。

该装置将在 Woodlands、Tampines、Jurong 和 Punggol 的四个区域图书馆巡回展出，并作为一个不断演变的动态档案逐步展开。观众可随着时间的推移接触到新的元素，使每一站的体验略有不同。通过鲜明的纺织品、雕塑形式以及档案材料，新加坡艺术家 Brandon Tay 将岛屿的集体记忆转译为一种由色彩、几何与符号构成的视觉语言。呼应区块链网络的去中心化逻辑，Sangkalan 邀请观众重新想象信息系统、其起源，以及自然如何启发新的感知、连接与记忆方式。

Brandon Tay: Sangkalan 由 National Library Board 合作呈现。通过图书馆展览项目，SAM 持续将当代艺术延伸至传统美术馆之外，进入公共与社区空间，鼓励公众在日常且易于接触的环境中邂逅当代艺术。
