Art Garden is not the only place for children at SAM.
Was at the opening of the exhibition – Video, an Art, a History 1965 – 2010: A Selection from the Centre Pompidou (France) and Singapore Art Museum Collections

Based on the video and multimedia installations of the Centre Pompidou (France) and SAM, the exhibtion recounts the history of this very contemporary field punctuating the main phases of contemporary art from 1965 – 2010.The exhibition materialised from a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Governments of Singapore and France to enhance cultural cooperation.

Uncle on the left represents 1965 and me on the right, 2010. ha.

Lotsa retro furniture here.

oo… how do you watch this tv?
hint: apply the law of Physics. ha.

This book documents how they madethe video “Memorial Project Nha Trang, Vietnam: Towards the Complex – For the Courageous, the Curious and the Cowards” which was shot underwater.
Mummy and I found this video very interesting.

me enjoying the nice sofa.

You can really spend a whole day and more just sitting in SAM and watch all these videos.

there are just sooooo many videos to watch!
and we’ve only touched one of the levels out of 3 of the exhibition.

Well… it may seem like that there’s only video-watching to do in this exhibition but noo…
check out the Interactive Installations such as

Mummy can’t believe that this work was done before she’s even born!
shall not disclose too much but you’ve gotta do some actions, not like this lady in the picture, to see the effect.

We didn’t know what this one was about until Mummy read the Activity Booklet.

so, be sure to download the activity booklets, if you going to this exhibition.
They’ll make great guides and discussion starters.
