Panorama (SAM)

This month, I visited Singapore to sample the arts scene in this megacity; which is perhaps the face of contemporary South East Asia. Whilst checking out some local galleries around Armenian Street (The Substation was great), I also viewed the gallery at SOTA and the Panorama show at SAM. Thus, Ive compiled a video of the works at Singapore Art Museum (SAM) as theyve curated a fascinating show over 3 levels, offering the best of Asias contemporary art. This massive showcase runs until December 25th, 2012 –so youve plenty of time to drop in if youre travelling through this unique (and often puzzling) city.

New Collectables

The RMIT First Site Gallery is this week hosting New Collectables –an exhibition and art auction where you can pick up works on the sly, by Fine Arts graduates and emerging artistic greats. The exhibition (viewing) is open from Midday until 7pm on Wednesday 7th, Thursday 8th, and Friday 9th December. Howeveryou might find it most interesting to pop in and simply view the artworks on show. Backroom sales are also happening throughout, with all artwork reserve prices under $250making the highquality works quite affordable indeed.

The auction itself happens on Thursday 8th December at 6pm sharp. So come on down and experience the thrill of the auction as you nab yourself an awesome art piece for pittance!
