It's the inaugural Children's Season at the Singapore Art Museum at 8Q - an art exhibition showcasing art works inspired by plants, trees and the forests especially catered to young children, isn't that wonderful? It's been on since mid-May and will be ending this Sunday.
Meet Walter - balloon sculpture of a rabbit by Dawn Ng at the front of the building.
Titled "Floribots" - featuring the life cycle of giant robot flowers that 'grow' from buds into full blooms:
Exploring in the Enchanted Forest, wall to wall paintings with 3D trees, butterflies and hanging spiders:
Daisies everywhere - step and make them disappear:
Making the trees grow and catching fireflies in the Funky Forest, it was magical:
We even watched a short local film at the exhibition - a rather touching story on how a father tried to reach out to his school-going son who has isolated himself since the death of his mother. Well, that death bit - it's my deduction since there was no mention of it but just a scene from the boy's dream of his mother hanging out the laundry and telling him that he was all his father had left. No, no it was not a melodramatic film. As a matter of fact, it was rather funny - the father's clumsy approach to talk to his son; the boy playing with a pair of briefs pulled over his head; the Hokkien-speaking grandma urging the boy's father to be patient like how she would fry a fish. The director chose a refreshingly light approach to tackle a difficult emotional situation.
The boys had so much fun - S.P actually asked to visit again when he saw the ad on TV last week, almost 2 months since we were there.
