Overrun

It's a new year with new everything. Been so busy and it is almost impossible to blog on my iPad (I almost do not use the Macbook anymore). The photos don't seem to load up properly.

Haven't quite have the time to go around either, with the new job, I get exhausted on weekdays and sleep is on my priority list on weekends. So I guess the last exhibition I've been to was DiverseCity at 8Q last year. Apart from the free food and drinks at the opening, the exhibition was delicious, lots of works by Southeast Asian artists.

It was a little rushed as we were there late but I guess the whole exhibition was covered.

Serenity amongst the hustle and bustle

Title: The Singapore Show: Future Proof
Where?: 8Q @ SAM
Date: 14 January to 15 April 2012 (I'm a last minute person)
What was I doing there?: To find some peace
 
As expected, since museum walks are not one of the favourite past times of Singaporeans, the Singapore Art Museum was extremely quiet (even when it is FREE admission! Like SERIOUSLY? FREE LEH!) except for a few visitors from foreign lands and probably 2 to 3 art maniacs like myself.

I must say that we do have many talented locally bred artists, there is no need to look elsewhere or resort to imports, just keep a close look out and you will find gems right here in Singapore. Sadly, it is only Andy Warhol and other big names that will turn our locals' attention to the museums (even not free one, you all also will go <you'd even pay to enter>).

Guess there is a lot of work to be done to get locals to support locals.

Anyway, back to the exhibition, one of my favourite art pieces was Crystal City by Donna Ong. She uses glassware and lighting for a whole city to be lit up. Glassware are not to be hidden behind our kitchen cupboard doors she mentioned.
