The exhibition was supported by a grant from National Arts Council Singapore and by l’Observatoire at Blue House, with the venue support of Starch. The paper for the zine and catalogue was sponsored by RJ paper.
Anne Mølleskov showcased Forestic Impuzzle, a video based on collages of Google Maps satellite images of Turf Club and forestic affairs (small happenings and field notes from the area).
The focus was on the forested patches at Turf Club. Everything else: roads, buildings and sports fields were cut out, leaving an empty background on which the forest patches moved around in an impossible attempt to be assembled as a large connected forest.
