Art?

Efforts are being made to cultivate creativity in Singaporeans and mold them into more cultured people. This is evidenced by the remake of our museums, a slew of cultural activities and the presence of Art in prominent places.
Made a trip back to Rowell Road today. Managed to check out the "Mutant Style" exhibit in a quaint old skool shophouse. A nice chap, Terence, opened the doors to welcome me in. Nice lamp... but too pricey at S$600.

Mas Selamat inspired art. I picked up the box and it was empty. I asked "Does it come with the toy inside?". Terence replied "Where is Mas Selamat now?". Aaaaaaah. I initially intended to buy the toy before my visit but I'm not paying S$25 for an empty box.

Art along Orchard.

Shaw House.
