Art in Transit: “Notes Towards a Museum of Cooking Pot Bay” by Michael Lee

Notes Towards a Museum of Cooking Pot Bay investigates Telok Blangah as a site of ever-evolving ideas. Beginning with archival research about Telok Blangah, this work takes a literary leap of faith to weave different episodes taking place all at once: It draws links among the neighbourhood’s past, present and future, while stumbling on things here, there and nowhere. The outcome of this exercise is a hypothetical museum for the community of Telok Blangah. As with any institution that studies, collects and displays artefacts of lasting interest, this proposed museum has 5 galleries that highlight key points about the places, people, events, objects both movable and immovable, and ecology of Telok Blangah. Presented here is a mind map about such a museum.
