Crime in Sing City?

(The following post may contain disturbing images. Parental guidance is advised.)

I thought I was witness to a crime scene.

'Gruesome' sums up my whole experience.

There were four 'corpses' in the art installation. A common theme that runs through is death by impalement. By not one instrument, but multiple ones. Murder weapons range from brooms, toilet bowl brushes to saws and screwdrivers.

Louie Cordero drew his inspiration for this art installation 'My We' from the recent spate of murders of people single Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' in Filipino karaoke bars.

I certainly hope there are no copycats in real life.

Take a step in Simon Fujiwara's mind, as you wander through 'Welcome to the Hotel Munber'. He spins a tale of oppression and release, with inspiration drawn from his personal experiences living in his parent's bar and hotel in Spain in the 70s.

There are 2 other art installations at the Singapore Art Museum, as part of the Singapore Biennale 2011. These include Julian Gothe's 'Events during Flood' and Ryan Trecartin's video works.

Stay tuned while we bring you other highlights from Singapore Biennale 2011 in future blog entries.

Celebrating Singapore's 100 years of aviation

16 March 2011 was a landmark date for Singapore's aviation history.

It marked exactly 100 years of aviation. To commemorate this event, the Singapore Aviation Centennial Celebrations was launched last night with a gala dinner.

Indeed, Singapore has come a long way. Visit Singapore and see the iconic air traffic control tower below, as you land at the Changi International Airport.


Don't forget to visit the old Kallang Airport, which is also one of the venues for this year's Singapore Biennale 2011.

This year's Singapore Biennale will feature the works of 60 artists from 30 countries.
