★★★☆☆ Review: Request Programme at Singapore Art Museum

A meditative act on how the innocuous daily routine can be made strange and even a little disturbing. In Singapore, life can feel like a chore. Settling into a daily routine can be comfortable, but its banality can also become utterly depressing in a city that keeps on keeping on.
