S23 is a site-specific work that carves out an informal space of rest, congregation and interaction with artists. A play on 'S-11', an old-school kopitiam previously located near the old National Library and The Substation, S23 draws upon the essence of kopitiams as a way to explore the cultural and social functions of such communal spots in a historical arts enclave like Rochor and Bugis. Using LASALLE's amphitheatre to curate and re-create a public area where artists and art-goers used to frequent, relationships between people are kept non-hierarchical and strangers can become friends by chance.
