Singapore Art Museum

Here are some pieces of art that I found interesting during my visit to the Singapore Art Museum.

Urchin-like creations made from industrial materials like nails, screws, buttons, hooks and other similar things.

They look more interesting when they are all put together like this.

Miniature panoramas from pencil lead by Frayn Yong. The attention to detail and precision is quite admirable. And I like how all the panoramas are presented on the wall. The platforms create abstract shadows when they are photographed (see bottom right photo below).

These are a kind of fruit with hard shell. It was unfortunate that I wasn't able to get its name.

A small white room with wooden branches with messages written on white and green tags, answering the question, "What would you like to unearth?"

This is a hand drawing of the Singapore River. It aims to show the the history of the river through the memories of people who have visited it in the past. There are white cards that are provided, each has two sides for two memories to share: a real one and an imaginary one. I think it's a wonderful way of presenting art because it involves the visitors and the personal stories make it somehow more attractive. It was fun to read those stories written on the white cards.

An installation called "A Day Without A Tree" shows us what happens when the world runs out of trees and everything around us melts due to climate change and intense heat of the sun.
