The Vox camerata performance was lovely. The food was nice too. Also, a big thank u to the boys to turned up to help out. Ming Tan, Ted, Ser Ming and Shao Han.

next week. The aim of this exhibition is to highlight the work of several
local NGOs and social enterprises while selling their merchandise and
raising funds for them. Do get gifts for your loved ones and yourself at
this show and be a shopper/hero!

We hope you enjoy this new format.

UPDATES

1. Now till 2 Nov in Show Room: Exelcior Mortis: Recent Work by Jack Youngblood (UK) features work done in the past year while he was artist-in-residence in a Singaporean computer games design company. Its themes reference heavily the lurid and dramatic imagery of which contemporary computer games are frequently composed. The work also addresses such notions as ‘the hero’, ‘the beauty’, death and loss and is a development of the ‘old spaceman’ imagery that has constituted his other shows in Singapore. A parallel event of SB2008. Opened 6-10pm (Tue-Fri), 12-10pm (Sat+Sun), closed on Mon; free admission.

2. Food #03 is featured on Small Girl Big Appetite Episode 8 - http://sgba.tv - check it out!

3. Drawing Out Conversations (curated by p-10’s Lim Kok Boon and featuring Post-Museum’s resident artists Chun Kai Feng, Chun Kai Qun and Joo Choon Lin among others) is now on at FOST (65 Kim Yam Rd). This exhibition brings together a diverse representation of artists at work in Singapore to explore their concerns with drawing and its relationship with their varied practices. Till 1 Nov from 12-7pm (Tue-Sat), free admission.

PM visitors

Hey, long time no update.

As usual, being buszzzy bee.

This week has been rather eventful. The highlight was the malaysian artists visiting actually. (quite a few have visited because of the biennale).

This week we had visits from Yi-Chin, Chang Hwang, nansee. Also visiting was the fukuoka curators from the fukuoka asian art museum. (lots of nice chats there).

Later on today, osage bringing some people from philippines.

Just toying with the idea to put some portfolios at Food #03 since so many curators come, it will be nice to let them have a look at some singapore artist works.
