Rest in progress: Participants reimagine downtime in design contest at bustling Distripark

Using discarded materials from Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Hans Chew, 28, and Jun Tan, 39, created Dara-Dara, a lounge area that included a modular L-shape sofa to show how such items can have a second life. The work responds to the site as both a logistics hub and an emerging arts space, where a lot of materials and labour go into setting up exhibitions. Over the hour, they moved, wrapped, strapped, and secured the materials, echoing the site’s logistical operations and paying homage to the often invisible labour behind every successful exhibition. During their site visits, they noticed the large amount of material thrown away and began considering how it could be reused. On Oct 3, they were among nine teams gathered at Tanjong Pagar Distripark — where the Singapore Art Museum is currently located — to compete in transforming a 1.5m by 2m space into a cosy rest area. Within an hour, the teams built their own spaces. Three prizes were awarded, and the duo won the Programmer’s Award, earning a showcase for their work at SAM.
