Yesterday was spent with Dan at the Singapore Biennale 08 at City Hall! A getaway from the urban town area and a place for us to slow down on our footsteps to breathe in the goodness of life. It'll be perfect if they have a small little cafe near the lobby, heh.
So anyway, tickets are cheap! 5$ for students, so if you have nothing to do during the holidays, just take a train down to city hall to view the exhibition!
City Hall. The last time I was here was what, during secondary school days when there were still excursions? lol
Daniel being excited about the trip! haha
First stop. This was pretty cool.
And the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by..
Can't see?
Here's a closeup
Haha ERP! We both just laughed out loud when we saw this, reminded me of the movie Money No Enough 2.
& guess what I found?
CLOSE-UP!
Chung cheng ley!
& since I found Chung Cheng,
NEH! my house! hahaha
& while I was trying very hard to capture the photos due to its size, this cute little girl crawled over to me
& started holding my phone and pulling it! & for those who know me, I'll always have my lanyard attached to my phone and hung around my neck, so this little girl was like pulling me away man. lol. but she's very cute!
The overview of the whole map of Singapore
Next stop, Maggots
The meaning behind this is too long, so if people ask, I'll type it out. haha
Told you self-timer rocks socks, haha!
& when we came out, we were totally awed by this
Raw Canvas
It's the biggest work of Jane Lee to date. It uses a combination of paint and mixed media to enable Lee to continue to develop her work by using the space as an aesthetic ploy. Threads of paint cross over each other creating a weave ostensibly reflective of he artist's obsessive nature, as she follows the weft and the warp. One is able to see through the wall behind the painting just was one would see through a loosely constructed fabric. She furthers the impression of fabric with detail in the texture and the apparent iridescence that sometimes bounces off the canvas. By striving to create paintings that appear like draped cloth, a knotty loose weave, or a combination of both, Lee continues to blur the visual lines between fabric and paint.
Amazing.
The artist makes use of veneer, to create paintings of parks. You should be there to see the whole thing 'cos it can be viewed in different angles.
Try to figure out these paintings
& these photographs
And oh we found these outside the rooms!
Guess what it's for, haha!
Corridor.
Book that floats on water
Ahh these are interesting
The whole row actually shows the consecutive movement of guitarists and all. The artist pays very significant details to how people move IMO.
This is very nice!
Blackfied; Sand, stainless steel, paint
The 'plants' which are etched out of metal, come from botanical drawings and are painted black on one side, and a myriad of colors on the other side. All the plants are installed with the colored side facing one end of the installation and black facing the other. When a visitor encounters the installation from one end, they will see either a sea of colored or black plants.
Amazing, more.
And below is the one I super love!
This artist (Lee Yong Deok)'s work play with movement and illusion. We rock back and forth - his work becomes an anchor. His work moves with us, almost akin to following us - esp. when we move away.
You can see from the 3rd picture that part of the painting is actually indent and made hollow. You must be there to experience it yourself 'cos I can't capture them on camera! haha
Oh the following is very cute! hhaa
Have you guessed what it's for?
HAHA don't tell you!
Addween! Look, your vespa! haha (I'm not even sure if you read man ass) it's made of woven yards you know, very pretty!!
There's still some that we didn't go to, 'cos we don't have the time lol. But it's definitely an eye-opener and worth the money! The ticket allows you to go to both City Hall and South Beach Development (which we haven't got the time to go to, next time!) so just go lor, if you've been rotting at home. haha
So anyway after it all, we walked to City Link and got bread! Both of us were starving! haha.
& then to Suntec and look what we saw
Abit dumb la IMO, seems like animals put up for exhibition. But oh well, they look happy. haha
Dropped by Topman to find Ed going for break. Eeeeeediot. Shopped around, talked with one of the staff (I forgot her name haha!) and then he appeared. Finally got to see him after SO LONG man, that ass. Always busy busy, & his phone is getting obsolete. =p
Dan tried on some clothes, eh, the yellow one very cute lor! hahahah. & I love love my leather jacket, but no size! ):
Went to find Xue Er, chatted a bit and I had to go.
Thanks Dan for accompanying me to this SB '08. Museum next kay! haha
AND STUPID ANDY KEEPS MEETING E, BUT THE E IS NOT ME!
Such an ASS.
