Organised by Vue Privée (which features the Chinese duo's work at its Art Stage booth and gallery show this month), this performance piece requires the help of volunteers. The artists are hoping for over 1,000 people to set a record in this large-scale experiment, in which participants hug for 15 minutes, then come together in a five-minute giant group hug at the end.

Venue: Event Plaza at Marina Bay Sands (in front of The Shoppes)
