The Old Kallang Airport and former headquarters of the People’s Association is one of the venues for this year’s Biennale. Its location may be inconvenient for some, but it allows others like Jerome more freedom to explore the old grounds at a leisurely pace.

While the Old Kallang Airport is open to the public because of the Biennale, the ability to walk freely through the old structures of the airport was a treat in itself, especially considering the history of the airport. Jerome writes:

It was certainly nice to walk around the old site and reflect on this, and hence the theme of this post … much of the old airport grounds that are left have been left in not so much its original state, but in a state that perhaps the PA had left them in – which I thought wonderfully complemented the exhibits. That also meant a lot of the wear and tear was evident from not just the use of the buildings by the PA, but the hangars by used car dealers at some point in time – I remember seeing them still at the end of the 1990s passing by after a concert at the Indoor Stadium. That provided me with an alternative view of the buildings – reflected off puddles of water and off windows and mirrors. I certainly did not get enough of it on the two occasions that I visited and I will certainly return for more.
