After taking the reading comprehension two in the morning, we were organized to Singapore Art Museum in the afternoon. I had learn it a little from the senior and I was very curious about it.
I have learnt from the Internet that the mission of the Singapore Art Museum is to preserve and promote contemporary art practices of Singapore and the Southeast Asian region. Opened in January 1996, Singapore Art Museum is an important component in international contemporary art. Although I am an Asian, I have to admit that I have a long way to go before I could understand it well.
The most impressive one for me might be the skin of different kinds of animals. There were squirrel skin, snake skin and so on. Besides, there were scenes of specimen of human body played by projector. I could not understand them as art actually, or they were just not the taste of us Chinese. There is also a small room on whose wall there were painted men constrainted by books. In my opinion, it reflects the trammel that books brings to us. Books are reference to us, but if we refer to books too much, it will fetter us. The one most to my taste might be the white rabbit called Walter. It returns to celebrate Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rabbit. It was created out of the artist's desire to "enable others to discover the extraordinary everyday". I think the rabbit is very cute, reminding me of childhood.
Although I know really little about art, I believe that art is something beautiful or something making us to think. Singapore Art Museum contains a lot, and I have learnt a lot from the learning journey. In addition, maybe I need to furnish myself something about art.
like there are hundreds of harmlet for different readers. we audience will have all different perspectives when we were appreciating works of arts. there is no righ or wrong but just diversities.
ReplyDeleteBecause of different cultures, people in different countries have their own underdtandings of art. It is quite difficult to make sense of every picture. But just like you have said, art is beautiful and can make us to think.
ReplyDeleteContemporary art is quite difficult to understand, as it is totally disparate from those traditional art we have already known. We'd better appreciate it in another way.
