This catalogue spotlights the third work in the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series, SEA STATE 9: proclamation garden by Singaporean artist Charles Lim. It features a text by curator Adele Tan, alongside full-colour images of the commission and more than 30 species of plants selected to transform the Gallery’s roof garden landscape, whose transplantation, adaptation to survive and eventual disposal tell the stories of Singapore’s urban and coastal developments.

Other artists featured in the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series include Rirkrit Tiravanija and Danh Vo.
