arty farty
Ruth, Yeujia and I brought the visitors from Shandong on a trip round Singapore (sort of) today. They didn't seem very enthusiastic about the National Library, Bugis Junction, Esplanade and our transport system. Not the most successful trip and was very tiring, but I'm super satisfied after visiting the exhibitions (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2009) at Esplanade. Tomorrow's the last day to catch these exhibitions!
1) Museum of Broken Relationships (Croatia)
http://www.brokenships.com/
Venue: Jendela (Visual Arts Space), Esplanade
Free admission
What to expect: People who go through break-ups with their romantic partners want to get rid of everything that remind them of the other party. But throwing these items away also deletes the once-beautiful memories they've had. So they donate these items to the Museum of Broken Relationships and contribute to a collective emotional history by letting their ex-belongings travel the world as a piece of art. Every item comes with a story behind it. Inspired and inspiring.
2) Days with My Father (England)
http://www.dayswithmyfather.com/
Venue: Esplanade Tunnel (near the basement, on the way to the MRT)
Free Admission
What to expect: Beautiful series of photographs. As close to the theme of "Art and Family" as you can get. The website is a good substitute if you can't go view it in person.

Doesn't anyone realise that there's no more time?
Where is the broader perspective?

I had never felt nauseous at the mention of McCain before.
