Gastrogeography of Singapore

GOS started their gastronomic expedition in Singapore Biennale 2016. Titled "GastroGeography of Singapore"(coined by Dr Susie Lingham, Singapore Biennale Creative Director), this art exhibition investigates the indivisible relationship between food and memory of Singaporeans throughout the course of rapid urbanization. A concrete wall installation has been erected to house a collection of native botanical specimens preserved in ethanol. Featuring 100 specimens, this sensorium wall installation provides a multitude sensory experience and also facilitates dialogue that uncovers food history dated as far back as 14th century. In Singapore Art Museum, "Art+Food Afternoon" was orchestrated to provide 80 members of public an engaging gastronomic experience, a 12 course taster experience was shared based on native flora, offering guests an exquisite taste of authentic Singapore. Made up of 374 pieces of concrete, this wall installation was also exhibited in the National Museum of Singapore.

About Us

GOS loves culinary experiments and this is how we create our recipes. We bring a contemporary twist to the familiar and the not so familiar flavours of our Singaporean heritage. We extract organic pigments from plants, these pigments are used in our traditional and unconventional recipes, from cocktail to appetizer, main dish to dessert. We aim to harness the positive effects of these colors through exploration of food, heightening our sensorium embodied experience with native flora, building a closer relationship with the nature and sense of belonging to our homeland.

MUSIC AND MAKAN x GOS

Discovery of Music and Nature

11 Nov 2023 - 02 Dec 2023 Experience a musical performance inspired by nature against a forest background! Music and Makan (musicandmakan.com) curates a programme titled “Hidden in plain sight". Drawing inspiration from Sentosa Nature Discovery's mission to bring awareness to flora and fauna through deep observation, our listening experience can be made richer by learning to identify musical characteristics in a piece of music. Singapore's best musicians will perform pieces inspired by nature and the calls of birds and animals on the flute and keyboard, and will engage audiences in spotting musical “calls" such as motifs and ornaments. Gastrogeography of Singapore (gos.sg) joins in to do a presentation around makan that is hidden in plain sight.
