Art Attack

On it's last weekend, I checked out Open House in Tiong Bahru with two friends.

My friend does a lovely job explaining the concept here, so check out his post.

Thought the premise behind it was brilliant - bringing art to homes in a neighborhood for all the world to come and take a gander? Perhaps only in Singapore.

I thought it brought art appreciation to a different level of experience - something beyond museums and public spaces.

While the I found the art underwhelming - the entire experience definitely rated a thumbs up from me. Beyond the art, you learn about architecture, the history of the neighborhood AND you get to see how other people live. hehehe. A win win situation if you ask me.

Met up for lunch first @ Thunder Tea Rice
