Time is a Black Circle is a throwback to the seventies when the Swinging Sixties and Disco Fever were underway. Back in the day, party-goers flocked to the Bras Basah.Bugis (BBB) precinct for live discotheques owned by the likes of Kelong Restaurant and YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association). Of course, the latter’s anthem needs no introduction.
Singaporean artist Dawn Ng’s “disco time portal”, a perfectly cylindrical structure brimming with a symphony of colours and melodies, is fittingly located here. Step into the dancing shoes of your parents and grandparents, and relive a bygone era when influencers of their generations, like The Silver Strings and Rita Chao, painted the town red.
Visitors are also welcome to visit the artwork (without skating), free admission from 10am to 4pm (last entry at 3.30pm.)
