Trans-Cool Tokyo - Contemporary Japanese Art.

Hi, ren's back.. A few days back right after my JLPT N4 exams, i dropped by the Singapore Art Museum(SAM) @ Q8 for this exhibition.. since its jus a few blocks away from where my paper was held. i really like the art works there, though i'm not a really artsy fartsy person.

For those who's overseas or too busy in Singapore, i'll share with you guys wad i've seen there! =D the exhibition will be held till 13 Feb 2011, so there's still lotsa time! maybe i'll suggest going there during a weekday, when there's not too much crowd to distract you from 'communicating with your inner self'. XD Jokes aside, it's really worth the trip.. to see how modern Japanese artist works.. admission is free too! All works in the photos here are accredited to the artists and not mine. =)

Yups. that's all i have for you.. im glad that there's more japanese cultural stuff brought over by SAM and more pple will be aware of the influence that anime has brought to the society. The works shown at the exhibition are really an eye-opener for me, maybe one day i'll head over to Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo to have a look for myself. ^^ hope you liked wad i've shown you.. thanks for reading! see ya ard. =)
