p-10 Picks (16-22 June 2008)

Dear friend,
Here are 3 events happening elsewhere in Singapore this week we recommend:

1. Opening: Thu (19 June), 7pm
HanoiHaiku
By Sherman Ong
2902 (11 Mt Sophia Old School)
Free

HanoiHaiku is presented like a visual Haiku. Intentionally left untitled, the juxtaposition of images produces their own narratives, temporal connections, and is open to many interpretations infused with the personal experiences of individual viewers. Part of Month of Photography. Till 5 July.


2. Opening: Sun (22 June), 2pm
A Bowl of Rice
By Zai Kuning
Sculpture Sq (Middle Rd)
Free

Zai is creating two geometric drawings across the gallery space, using an estimated 5000kg of rice. The public is invited to attend the exhibition with a humble contribution of a bowl of rice - or two - which will eventually be donated to voluntary welfare organisations. Till 13 July.


3. Now – 13 July
The End Depends On The Beginning. The Beginning Depends On The End.
By Heman Chong
Third Floor-Hermès (541 Orchard Rd Liat Towers)
10.30am- 7.30pm daily
Free

Inspired by the last paragraphs found in a selection of novels read in the past year, Chong investigates the philosophies, reasons and methods of individuals and communities imagining the future. Here, he is fascinated with the idea of the end of things, utilizing both the form and content of these ‘book ends’ to compose the series of objects on display.


Check these out and have a nice week ahead!

Best,
Woon Tien Wei
