Arts Events!

Lately... i volunteered for the M1 Fringe Festival... And i must say that what i saw today at Singapore Art Museum (SAM)... was rather amazing..~

First was the performance art by this artist - Tim Jeeves with his work: 'Should i be in my bodi'.. he was a cancer patient... or rather... still is a cancer patient... he had all his thought written (printed) out on boards and hung ard the gallery... then he himself stood in the middle of his works with only his boxers on... and allow the viewers to write their thoughts on his body... And he stood there for 3hours straight! Although there wasn't many many visitors... but the response given were rather position.. and most of them admire his work, his determination and his courage... well... i thought so too... cos i think the purpose of him doing this is to encourage ppl to face the problems thru art... and i think ppl will rmb this... So if u are interested (you should be)... there are 2 more slots opened... pls visit the Queen gallery of SAM at 2-5pm on 3Feb (sat) and 4 Feb (sun)... i think u wun regret...

Another one was this listening party in response to The Self Collector by Jan Rothuizen... called the 'Guilty Pleasure'... coordinated by Ang Song Ming... Jan's works are also exhibited in SAM itself... at the Waterloo Gallery... it's quite cool also... But this guilty pleasure is rather special... it's very interactive... It says... 'Bring your guiltiest sonic indulgence - a song of your choice in mp3 or CD. Tell everyone why you find it a pleasure, and why you feel guilty listening to it.' It's really like ANYTHING you like... and i listened to a no. of ppl sharing theirs today... and i find it very interesting...~! And the objective is... to face yourself and confess anything...~! There one more session on 3rd Feb (Sat) at 4pm at the Glass Porch of SAM... and the thing is... you can actually scratch words on the glass panels... like confession... so quite nice... Pls go there and take a look... and relax! :))) I enjoyed my day even though i was Very tired at the end of it... i think it's worthed...~

Anyway... i came across this other theatre production by Toy Factory... called the TiTouDao... Details can be found HERE! I think it's quite interesting... and i feel that it's going to be rather entertaining too... So if u are interested... pls tell me... we can go watch tgt! :)))

Omg... i just have so many things i want to watch... but really have not so much time and not so much money also... Sianx...~

Anyway... going to buy SCO tix really soon... so if anyone wants any tix with the special 50% discount (only for SCO regular concerts)... pls approach me fast! Ok!

Why must arts programmes be so expensive?! =x
