“Sovereign wealth fund GIC was the brainchild of Singapore’s former deputy prime minister Dr. Goh Keng Swee. This installation showcases how he initiated radical action in the face of upheavals in global currency markets. Seeking to protect our reserves, Dr. Goh circumvented an embargo on purchasing gold bullion. The actual torn US dollar bill that was used to authenticate the clandestine deal is held above golden waves, testament to a legacy of foresight, dedication, ingenuity and enterprise.”
