Bali based creative village Potato Head’s unveiled their latest collaboration with Futura. The legendary New York artist is unveiling two sculptures titled Pointman – River Warrior, set to be unveiled in Singapore and Bali as a social commentary on pollution.
To demonstrate the gravity of Indonesia’s dire pollution crisis, a problem that has long been a central concern for Futura, the Pointman statues will be made out from repurposed waste materials collected together with Potato Head from the Singaporean/Bali waterways. In Singapore, 14,300 black and white grocery bags were collected by environmental advocates, Sungai Watch, for the creation of Pointman. In Bali, everything from motor oil bottles to discarded water gallon lids sourced by community organization, Yayasan Kakikita were used.
The Pointman statue in Singapore was unveiled last week at National Design Centre and another one, in much larger scale, will be unveiled in the courtyard of OMA-designed Potato Head Studios in Bali on December 9th. Please find images of the Pointman River Warrior statue in Singapore below as well as renders for the Bali version.
