[EXHIBITION] Affordable Art Fair Spring Edition - AAFter Glow Evening

Get #ArtHappy at the Affordable Art Fair, F1 Pit Building
This Affordable Art Fair kicks off their seventh year in Singapore and being their third Spring edition, they have this #ArtHappy campaign to make things a little more fun. I happened to win a pair of tickets to their Affordable Art Fair After Glow Evening and when I do the redemption, I was given the choice to select up to 6 tickets so I did that and brought 5 other friends along.

The first art installation "Room of Mind" by Iqi Qoror from Indonesia
We were treated to a free pink Popsicle from Ice Cream Momolato right before we enter the gallery. The first art installation that greeted us at level 2 is this big red mess of what I thought is a giant rock and two pair of legs underneath.

Later, I did some research and found out that the artist, Iqi is trying to portray how we humans often automatically jump from one state of mind to another based on our external situation and conditions. He believes our mind has lots of thinking and plans get wasted, just like a crumpled mess of paper that goes straight to the bin. Through this artwork, Iqi thinks that we need to rest out mind, so we can be more aware of our thoughts and actions, otherwise our brain will self-destruct. 

Egg spotted from The Great Egg-Venture 2016
Four eggs have been specially selected to be showcased in the fair which reflected a range of different artistic ideas. This just looks like a bigger version of the full months red eggs which gave me an idea, maybe next time we can draw some special designs on those full months red eggs and sell them as a set?

ARTWORKS THAT IMPRESSED ME

 Artworks are priced between $100 and $10,000 with the aim to make art as fun, accessible and affordable to the mass market as possible.

Tape Art by Max Zorn
Artwork created from brown packing tape
Often referred to as "tape artist", I was amazed by the live demonstration of how Max Zorn uses ordinary brown packing tape as his medium and a surgeon's scalpel as a brush instead of the usual paint and paintbrush. Art comes in different form and this is one really unique idea to create art pieces.

The only framing service found there
Spent the most of my time at The Frame Society with Derrick as the friendly lady was sharing with us stories of the artworks exhibited with their frame. They provide complimentary consultation at home or in their gallery at Holland Village. (Contact Alex Mytton-Mills or Emilia Lee at 6466 1147)


Beautiful artwork by Christian Develter. Notice how the women's faces all have lines on them? What inspired him to draw the lines on the women's face is actually by the real Chin people living at the border of China and Myanmar. The lines on the women's faces are used to identify which tribe they actually belongs to. Lines were tattooed on the girls faces the moment they reaches puberty age.


The real life photos.


An augmented reality performance called "You Know JS". YOU KNOW JS was first performed in KULTER, Amsterdam in Oct 2015 and then at SingaPlural Festival in March 2016. For this live performance, we have to use an iPhone app to view and interact with the live performance. We only get to know there's an app for this after the performance was over.


Realistic 3D artwork. The fishes were all painted on.


Reminds me of a friend's pet at home.


Different faces.


So nice to look at.


Sculptures :)


Ending my post with this pretty and colourful heart. Would be very nice to display it at home. These artworks are so beautiful, each with their own stories to tell. I'm not good at drawing and acting, so for now, I shall just stick back to doing my colouring project.

[Outing] Fun time at Alive Museum @ Suntec City


Angels brought me here to the Alive Museum and transformed me into a happy angel. As part of their attraction's yearly renewal, Alive Museum had recently added in two brand new themed zones - Live.Laugh.Love and Young @ Heart. Together with my other 5 friends, we had a fun time taking photos inside, even though this is my second time there, I still enjoyed myself very much as this time round, it's with a different group of friends with lots of new exhibits. 

NEW ~ LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE ZONE


Wanna go for a ride in my awesome SGD 8888 wedding car? 


Hopped in! A car full of pretty ladies! 


L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

LOVE, only a four letters word but can be so wonderful to some yet complicated to others.


Autumn's fairy tale.


In a love boat with sis Kart! Super funny.


A super awkward proposal.


Why you so heavy?? Took this photo and NG a lot of time but have to continue cause they say acting also must act the full series.  


Meryl + Elaine = Red heart for friendship

NEW ~ YOUNG @ HEART ZONE


Us in the cartoon book of Alive Museum.


Loving how vibrant the red flowers are.


My friends say this photo can be turned into a Birthday greeting e-card.


Put your hands up in the air like you just don't care!

SAME ~ SOME OF MY FAVOURITES

So beside the two new themed zone, there's the familiar exhibits that still remains. Below are a few of my favourites.


Laugh until cannot jumping at this small trampoline. Hope somebody will organize a trip to the Trampoline Park soon! Hehe.


Yes, I always dream of myself being a big, friendly giant.


As usual, like the previous time we visited, we were the last group to leave and being a weekday night, it was not as crowded and we were happily taking our own sweet time to explore. One part of the Alive Museum is still under renovation though. Really thankful to Alive Museum for the invitation. Thank you my friends for joining me and this is one outing I only took like 3 photos at the entrance only! Photos all credited to the rest of my friends. THANKS!!!
