A highlight of Singapore Art Week, Gillman Barracks’ public art showcase, LOCK ROUTE is curated by Khairuddin Hori.

LOCK ROUTE takes inspiration from 9 Lock Road—Gillman Barracks’ address—and the traditional 24km march commonly featured in the training of ‘graduating’ army recruits in Singapore.

Featuring arresting installations, sculptures, and murals by renowned and emerging international and Singapore artists, LOCK ROUTE invited visitors to traverse the grounds of Gillman Barracks and experience a closer encounter with art in the open.

The launch of LOCK ROUTE coincided with the Gillman Barracks’ annual celebration of the visual arts, Art After Dark.
