SINGAPORE ART MUSEUM

Shaggy - Mella Jaarsma 

    We went to art museum during the creative thinking class. We went there to look over a hairstyle , Shaggy.Mella Jaarsma is best known for her costume installations which use materials such as animal skins , horns and clothing - item charged metaphoric ability of race, identity, and human nature, sexual orientation, religion, politics, and origin.
In her work Shaggy, Mella Jaarsma takes on hair as a symbol of womanhood, and all its attendant its attendant associations with eroticism , gender stereotypes and identity.

We done the culture hairstyle together . Our pieces work was very colourful and funny . The question ask us , if Shaggy was war on our head , the feeling is..? Erm.. I think it was very warm. It is not really suitable in Singapore . If my hairstyle like this , the people will never stop to looking at me , I will become famous in the school like that , haha. 

Cage

Cage- Li Hui

  Artist Li Hui works with laser beams that sculpt and define the spaces they inhabit , even as they evoke otherworldly dimensions. In Cage, Li Hui uses green lasers to create two virtual cages that appear alternately. The effect os these immaterial beams of light creates an impression of something solidly material, which in turn triggers instinctive responses of disorientation and even anxiety in viewer , who find the "trapped" one moment , and standing outside the object of their imprisonment the  next.

Memory Rilts - Mark Wong

Memory Rifts expand the perceptual potential of a single audio composition , while probing how the mind receives, and recalls, acoustic information .
It is the chance and repeated encounters of its melodies and motifs, rhythms and rifts, points and counterpoints, that prompt an active - albeit unconscious - act of listening .

Chicken Rice in the Border - Bui Cong Khanh


In this work, Bui Cong Khanh investigates the provenance of Hoi An Chicken Rice, originally brought to Hoi An by Chinese  immigrants as Hainanese Chicken Rice, before adaptation and assimilation into Vietnamese food culture resulted in a uniquely local dish.






Untitled - MIT JAI INN

Untitled comprises of a series of sculptural by Mit Jai Inn, composed and part-sculpture, such is the nature of Mit's highly lyrical and textured works, which seek to make indistinct the boundaries between high art and craft objects, and liberate the experience of artworks from what artist perceives as the convention and form of visual art. At times presented as hanging scrolls, and other tomes as well of visual art. At times presented as hanging scrolls, and other times as wall pieces, the versatile quality of the canvases are characteristic of the Thai artist's practice. In effect, the malleable nature of his work allows for the situating of art in multiple contexts, challenging abstract painting to perform or function as a rarefied piece of fine art, or merely as a common object.



The Overview Installation - Eugene Soh

 
The Overview Installation, quite literally, transforms the way we see the world and ourselves. Donning one of the sets of modified goggles, a participant's normal viewpoint is replaced by an image streamed from closed-circuit televisions. Moreover, varied configurations in the goggles and CCTV feeds allow for differing kinds of perspective: from the third-person or 'god view' from above; to the second-person or 'vice-versa' image that two participants will see of , and form , each other ; and that of lateral vision,which simulates the perspective that most animals possess, such as lizards and horses.

I was very enjoyed my time to visit at art museum .This time of the visit made me feel the charm of different works.Increase a lot of knowledge and got idea of different design concept .Hope in the coming days, my work also to show to the public like their work.
