The KAWS:HOLIDAY Art Installation Is Coming To Singapore, Along With Limited-Edition Collectibles

Something big is coming to Singapore — the larger-than-life KAWS:HOLIDAY art installation will reach our shores for its seventh stop around the world, with a 42m-long artwork of KAWS’ signature character, COMPANION, featured in a reclined position embracing a miniature version of itself.

From 13 – 21 November 2021, you’ll be able to spot KAWS:HOLIDAY SINGAPORE at The Float @ Marina Bay; the display will be open to the public from 14 November.

The art piece is sure to delight fans of KAWS, the American artist who has earned a cult following thanks to limited edition toys and his iconic characters featured on clothing and in big-name brand collaborations.

Of the installation, KAWS has this to say: “At a time when international travel may be challenging for many, I am thankful for the opportunity through the ongoing HOLIDAY project to bring art experiences to different localities, and am excited to come to Singapore for the first time.”

Credit for its Singapore stop — after tours in Seoul, Hong Kong, Japan, and more — goes to long-time collaborator AllRightsReserved, as well as the Singapore Tourism Board, with a unified goal to promote public appreciation of the arts.
