Went to the Arts Science Museum today with Benjamin (Yanlings friend from the diving trip) and I must say the two exhibits were rather interesting. Spend a good three hours exploring both the Harry Potter exhibition and the Andy Warhol exhibition. I must say I preferred the latter... Most probably cos I never really did watch the movies for Harry Potter. But at least I'm now partially motivated to actually go catch them =P.
I quite like the exhibition on Andy Warhol, seeing his works and how it evolved over time. loved the bright solid colours. his play with shadows. and the mix between random quirky work of arts and things we see everyday. Pop Art (?)
"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."
As a person, he seems rather confusing to me. Going from brightly coloured butterflies to themes on suicide and then to commercial products. His fascination on self portrays seem to portray some form of narcism though. On a different note, I love how he leaves interpretation of the mood of the subject to the colours he has used on the same subject. His piece on the sunset which he protrayed 632 times in different colours was just surreal.
Had an enjoyable Sunday. totally atypical as it involved no climbing or swimming or nuahing. i'm glad that i lived by the "just say yes" code and decided to check out the HP exhibition as it led to such an interesting afternoon/evening.
I finally stepped into MBS. it was amazingly huge ass. and i really loved how open it felt with all the glass ceilings and windows. the sampans were hilarious after one has seen the venetian's gondolas. too bad it was too crowded and the three hours in the museum already tired me out or i wouldn't mind checking out the entire area instead of just getting a glimpse.
oh wells. good company makes for an interesting sunday. even if there were small awkward moments like saying goodbye and promising to meet up again for whatever. Has it really been that long since I made a new friend I wonder
