30th March! A surprise museum visit to Singapore Biennale 2011 at Kallang airport(?)

^^ It was a "WOW" museum experience! Why? It's because the art works are based on not only the sense of sight, but also touch, smell and hearing.. It shows us that art can be in any form at all! :D For example, in the West Block, we saw a little barn filled with hay! It sure SMELLS like hay! XP and we climbed up this steps of hay to take a photo. Also, we saw many other art works in the terminal. There was a room with huge ropes that is made up of well... hair! creepy but WOW! There was a spiral staircase which anyone would have thought was normal.. but it was actually an art work. Walk up the stairs and you would have seen tiny scribbles on the wall! Well, i guess they were the random thoughts of the artist....?

There was an art work that i really liked! It was a little suitcase which was opened. the inner sides of the suitcase were lined with mirrors and the base of the suitcase was a video clip of waves. You can also hear the sound of the waves of course! Haha! makes me think that we can bring a breach along with us anywhere and anytime! :D Isn't that cool?!

There is a room in the East Block that i really liked. It was kind of scary but.. oh wells? It was talking about the ghost stories in Singapore and how people view and reach to such phenomenal activities.. Well, i read the news articles hung up on the wall and it was actually real articles from the straits times!

Of course, there were other art works that I've seen.. but too many for me to talk about one by one! Although the trip can be a little boring and confusing (you just don't understand what the art works are about), but it was fun! Oh! And an eye-opener to all! It only it wasn't THAT hot and stuffy that day! hehehee!
