7 sec 3 pupils and I had a fun time together visiting the Singapoe Art Museum(SAM), 8Q, Lee Kong chian Reference Library & Art Friend.
At SAM and 8Q, we viewed exhibitions “The Artists Village:20years on”, “Accelerate: Chinese Contemporay Art”, “8Q-Rate: School” & “Misriadi:Black is my last weapon”. Basically, the trip was to investigate how different artists approach their art-making. Hopefully, the trip has been an eye-opener for the pupils.
“ The Artists Village:20years on” is a nostalgic reflection of my encounter with The Artists Village people and it was good to have a friendly chat with Shih Yaw & Nguan How. “Accelerate: Chinese Contemporay Art” was an eye opener of how far Art in China has progressed- a refreshing perspective. “Misriadi:Black is my last weapon” shows an Indonesian artist who is gaining more attention in the region & at local Art Auctions. He is a very competent. I find the interjection of Malay scripts adds greater conceptual depth to his work.
