AD-A-MANT examines the relation of advertisements in public areas and that of our mental environment.
Are there innocuous or sublime elements we have taken for granted? And if you had a chance to change it, what would you do?
Inspired by self-encouragement scrawled on study tables and discoloured walls...this INTERACTIONAL exhibition invites you to come and alter the space as you would LIKE it. Be a part of the art.
Watch artists reclaim public spaces in front of you, in LIVE ART ! (only on Friday)

Bryan's back

Bryan is back in time from Brisbane to see my works up at esplanade tunnel. He's back from semester break so I brought him to see my works and catch up a bit with him.... SO happy>>

Missexpectation @ Esplanade Tunnel from 5 July to 3 Aug 2008

“Expectations are necessary in enabling us to make sense of the world. But while assumptions and memories of past experiences help us to process information on a daily basis, they also encompass the danger of losing our sense of wonderment and novelty.

Here, the artist tries to examine old ways of seeing things, of comprehension and expectation. In particular, expectations of materials and concepts are examined through diverse methodologies, exploring how we “read”, “feel” and “understand”.

Drawings extended out to the wall of the tunnel

298 Simpang Bedok... 'Badoque'

A nice and cosy place to dine, chill out with friends... and also you can view my artworks that are displayed at the restaurant. 'Badoque' is a javanese word meaning eat. A Halal Italian restaurant that serve pasta, pizza, dessert, ice-cream and other savory dishes. I brought Guna to Badoque on the last monday and he bumped into Salim who he knew long time back... what a small world... We sat and have ice mocha... and ate moroccan chicken, cheese pizza.... then finally Weiqi cycled over to join us. It was a slow, lazy afternoon...we had great food and good laugh and great company... then lastly it was the dessert that filled us with so much contentment and so satisfying... Hey guys you have to go try it out... you will defintely like the food and the place.

My Favourite piece of work...
