The Observatory: REFUSE

Loved the Netflix documentary The Secret Life of Mushrooms? Then here's a fun fact you should know: mushrooms can also make music when they emit carbon dioxide and other gases. Local band The Observatory draws on its past and present influences and brings together their interests in fungi and mycelial networks to explore the twin ideas of decomposition and composition from biological and musical perspectives – all in a very photograph-worthy space in the new SAM @ Tanjong Pagar Distripark. The exhibition combines mycology design (Bewilder), scenography installation (Sai aka Chen Sai Hua Kuan), archive arrangement (Ujikaji), moving image (Yeo Siew Hua) and guest curation (Tang Fu Kuen).
