Rainbow Circle: Capturing a Natural Phenomenon
2013
Sunlight, water droplets and modified heliostat
Dimensions: Variable
Project Engineer: David Marsh 
Collection of the Artist 
Singapore Biennale 2013 Commission
artist: SUZANN VICTOR

Was so amazed and totally blown away when I saw this work. 
Such an intelligent creation, no? Using outdoor's natural elements confined to the indoors of the National Museum of Singapore, creates such a contradiction. It was a miracle to see rainbow inside a building, when I can't even catch them outdoors.

Chalk & Cheese
2013
Marble, Lam Soon soap and wood 
Dimensions: Various 
Collection of the Artist 
Singapore Biennale 2013 Commission

This art work will make you turn your heads. 
Conveying the task of 'cleaning' and the necessity importance of Labour, which is often overlooked. Clever.




Toy (Churning of the Sea of Milk)
2013
Cotton, synthetic fibres, wood, iron
Dimensions: 1500 x 500 x 80 cm 
Singapore Biennale 2013 Commission
artist: SVAY SARETH

This massive huge piece is displayed right at the basement and plays up the contrast between a camouflage toy and the illusion of cooperation within hierarchies, Massively outstanding. 


Wormhole
2013
Bamboo Installation 
Dimensions: Variable 
Collection of the Artist 
Singapore Biennale 2013 Commission
artist: EKO PRAWOTO

This work resembles a range of mountains – natural forms familiar in Indonesia. "Mountain is regarded as an axis which mediates between the earth and the heavens" and the work seeks to bring in mountains into our city. 
Non-existence in Singapore this art work is like a breathe of fresh air.

Amazingly, you can even explore the interior of the mountain, with seats affixed. 


Lumbung Ilmu (Granary of Knowledge)
2005
Traditional Indonesian wooden lumbung and artefacts 
Dimensions: Variable
Collection of the Artist

Depicting the house of a typical Indonesia's living conditions, this work allows visitors to be interactive and step into the house for a closer look. 


The kitchen wares and utensils of a typical household are displayed as well.

More pictures and reports coming up. 
Remember to visit the widely acclaimed Singapore Biennale 2013 before it's gone on 16th Feb 2014!
