Snow White!
Jemma and I went for the Singapore Children Art Biennale at South Beach Development today. It was rather empty and you don’t see much kids around. I guess the program wasn’t really targeted at children with the exception of the candy floss, pop corn, magic show and wind -mill making. The white rabbit hunt wasn’t a very interactive affair though… at least not with the installations.
Pictures of Jemma hard at work!

Today, I had a workshop on Art Conservation held at NUS Museum. The few hours there were very effective and fruitful and I went away with thoughts on breaking my bond to be a conservator! Even though what the conservator covered was probably just the tip of the iceberg of the specialty, I found myself looking at paintings at SAM with a whole new perspective. Amazing few hours huh?

A friend of mine introduced me to a local sculptor, Mr Lim Leong Seng, yesterday.
Does his name ring a bell?
Well… familiar with the Ah Meng’s bronze statue at the Singapore Zoo? It’s done by him.
I feel most privilege to have the opportunity to speak to and learn from him. He was such a nice grandfatherly figure to us… he drove us from place to place, had lunch with us, introduced us to the owner of Black Earth Art Museum and even made sure that we crossed the road safely!
Telok Kurau Studio is really a delightfully quiet place which houses quite a number of local artists. Peace was all I felt when I was there … something which you don’t get often in our secular life. For anyone out there looking for an exhibition or workshop space, the Art Gallery area at Telok Kurau Studio is ideal and seriously very economical. Mr Lim invited us for an Art exhibition there during December and I can’t wait!
