Why Free Museums Matter
There’s an exhibition catalog on my bookshelf that catches my eye whenever I swivel in my chair. On its cover is the Waterloo Bridge, cloaked in fog, sunlight forging a path through and unrolling a white path on the water below. Since 2004, I’ve carried it with me from one apartment to the next, from Detroit to Chicago to New York. My grandmother had taken me to an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, a retrospective that pulled works by Turner, Whistler, and Monet into conversation. Check out the full article here....

Transitions II (2013)
YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET TICKETS! AN EXTRA SHOW IS NOW CONFIRMED ON SAT 26 JAN @ 3.30PM. LIMITED TICKETS, GET YOURS NOW! TRANSITIONS II is a collaborative piece of theatre performance, devised, written and performed by the Theatre Studies & Drama students of Tampines Junior College. Come and join us in this heart-touching and uplifting performance. Synopsis: A Peranakan saying goes, harta dunia nanti semua pulang balek dunia. The world’s riches must eventually be returned to the world. Of course, our uniquely Singaporean obsessions today are on more pragmatic sides of life: location of the next BTO, new ERP rates, COE prices issued every quarter, and how to beat the GST hike. Less philosophical musings, but many will argue as useful. Perhaps, what city-dwellers like you and I really need is a renewed experience of what doesn’t change. Whence we came, the identity that binds us, and the things we call home; the fount upon which we...
