wonder
singapore biennale 2008 opens in 4 days time
reviews have been rather positive, but can that be just to itch curiosity ?
as for my personal opinion, i dont think it will exceed Belief in many ways
however, from the artworks that have been reviewed so far, there are seem to be quite a number of interaction installation works. well, that captures me. interesting setting at marina development district seems to be a powerful tool for Wonder as well
in contrary, there are seems to be equally a lot of photography works and seriously they dont captivate me as much. but shouldnt judge the book by its cover, maybe the physical quality of the works will thrill me in one way or another
so where will i be at 11 september, the day Wonder begins ?
having 2d class in the morning, hoping that my a2 poster will be -somehow- comparable to the rest, will be going down all the way to pauseability to pass the atcs that ive made for the '9ine' theme ( if i manage to create some by then ), then dinner with parents for my sis' birthday
it doesnt sound as wonderful as Wonder of course, but yeah, thats my life, you see
maybe lets take a few days behind and look at the 9th and 10th September
Singapore Biennale 2008 opening will be held on those two days and with very lacking advertisement and publicity of both the opening ceremony and the actual 'international showcase of visual arts' itself, can we assume that the entire Wonder-thing is for the elite with connections and invited guests of the so-called artistic upper class ?
the international event as they may call it, will run for about a month or so but compared to the one week event of Singapore Garden Festival 2008, the publications are not even on the level of comparison. does this show the lacking of support of the art, being not so commercial compared as nature-related business which scope can be pretty wide ?
enough of my attempt in acting smart and being an art critic while deep inside of me, im still extremely excited about Wonder. Unlike Belief, I ill be completely aware of the biennale and i swear that i will not miss a single artwork this time around. Wonderful ambition for Wonder
( ok, another failed attempt to use alliteration )
