Singapore Arts Museum (SAM)
December 02, 2014Never would i have thought that i will go to a museum on my own accord because i never really enjoyed the ones my school brought me, because most of the museum would only tell me about history of singapore and nothing else, and nothing related to Art. I didn't know what to do a week into my post As already since ive done most of the things i wanted to do in singapore, so i've decided to drag Jana to SAM and explore because i've never been there before. I can honestly say im pretty impressed even though im not someone that appreciate Art a lot. In this post im going to give you my very honest opinion about everything and from a non-artsy person POV because it was an unguided tour.
This is mine. I know it doesnt make sense. HAHA
There are many books with local artists who drew their artwork and compile them into books which you can browse through them. You can see the different kind of art work on my vlog which will be up real soon! Here is one of the many images.
And this gives me an overview of the ocean at the side with fine details in the centre.
I really love how they played around the various kinds of ways that they can play a video and its amazing how they can cordinate all three screens like that.
Different shade of colors.
I find this very disturbing because its just purely made up of hair and its so huge. The meaning behind this is because its a trendy looking kind of hair style called shaggy back in the days and it emphasizes on how women places great importance on how they look i.e. Vain.
These are meant to be tables and books. The books have blank pages because it shows that in this modern society people are always re-learning and re-reading new things therefore every new page is a fresh blank page to be filled with new knowledge.
I didnt know how water level would align when being tiled at an angle. I was never this observant.
This is an art made by purely red paint being splashed all over. Gives the creeps because it looks so hellish.
I dont know why but this is my favourite. Reason being its relatable and i liked how this piece of art is being done up. This is made up by johnson's baby no more tears shampoo bottle cap. Using 8000 pieces of them, it made up the potrait of Lee Kuan Yew by just leaving some caps open and some caps closed. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?! I was so blown away because of how he came about doing this art and using johnson's baby no more tears shampoo bottle caps to bring out the message. Remember we learnt that lee kuan yew cried because of the separation from Malaysia in 1965 in our social studies? The artist is trying to a convey a message to tell mr lee kuan yee not to cry anymore, thus the "no more tears" shampoo caps. THIS IS SO AWESOME. I cant even. This artist is a genius.
This shows the typical HDB flat that most singaporeans own.
And this potrays how our typical MAMA shop has everything that we ever want to buy, ranging from house equipment like mops, pails, broom to food like bread, different drinks, tibbits as well as our essentials like towel, shampoo, soap. This really brings back a lot of memories. I remember how i always went to buy a drink or biscuit from the mama shop as i wait for my bus to come in primary school at my house downstairs.
This is what your typical grandpa or grandma would wear.
There is this pile of stickers that you are able to design your own HDB and so Jana and I made them.
This was mine; liking it simple and plain.
