Singapore Biennale 2008

it was a very last minute visit to Singapore Biennale this year
reach city hall bout 4 pm -.-
suppose to start my tour bout 1 pm so tt i can complete all sites
but nvm, i did enjoyed the exhibitions

MAGGOTS
CRAWLING IN CITY HALL BUILDING @ LEVEL 3


the last maggot tt's crawling up the stairs


maggots attack on the red carpet !!!

it's meant to be gross and getting the ppl to feel discomfort
however, i find tt e face of these maggots cute!!!!
when i observed them carefully
i realised tt they're like a type of pet
very adorable pet w/ their very adorable face
they're made of fiber glass, so i guess the artist might have felt in love w/ them
>.<

Evolutional Mythology



real gourds tt e artist spent 1 year's time to mould them into human face
this installation reflects e artist expression
smiling faces, angry faces, sad faces & happy faces

Teratoma II : Digmaan ng mga Mundo
( War of the Worlds)

i witnessed this installation way back in sept when i was helping out @ kids biennale
lotsa machine work involved to get the scrupture hung up

bulges appear to grow on the wall
let e building lost its sense of classical proportion

SINGAPORE



i dun bother to find my home in this large map
i prefer to get lost in the art than find my way home :)



walking journey frm city hall to south beach building
* a former camp site for NS ppl *
was a enjoyable walk
sad to say tt my batt was flat so i couldnt take any picture @ south beach
the building are 2 stories only and thr isnt lift or aircon
only staircase & fans w/ some windows covered w/ cardboard
the rooms which showcase the artwork were very stuffy
VERY VERY stuffy

However
e place reminded me of my days when i was in SJAB's HQ
during my 24TH NCO course
the building was aoriginal building
no renovation, no repaint, window couldnt be close completely
wat make my heart moved was the hall
i believe it was the place whr passing out parade was held
& certificates were being given

i swear i will visit this place again if i have another chance before it is renovated
to take a few pictures as a form to remains the past :)

next destination - SINGAPORE FLYER



it wasnt my 1st time @ the flyer
but it was my 1st time taking the flyer =D



i wanted to heard wat sky duets have for this year's biennale
but i was too late -.-
arriving @8.22pm when the installation ends @ 8pm
i've got on the flight @ only 21bucks w/ biennale's 5 bucks tickets w/ a guide book

i love this guide book as it provide imformation tt's related to all e exhibitions
w/ pictures printed and clear descriptions



it was a captivating moment in the capsule w/ another family
i board the flight alone while hajar was rushing frm her sch to meet me @ late nite
for a minute - i realise I AM SCARE OF HEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!



how am i going to be a pilot?????!!!!!!!!!

the fear of height only lasted for a minute
i enjoyed the 29min during the flight thou :)



i could see the building of e new concrete jungle of Marina Bay



i could see how near is SG to the "so call" sea
as the sea is almost filled w/ vessels which makes the sea a reserviour



i noticed how small is our floating platform where National Day parade was held
i realised how smooth the road was w cars on the highway
which symbolised the artwork i did for my O back in 2004



i love Singapore Biennale 2008 :)
