Art Exhibitions/Galleries

hello! here are some galleries/exhibits that you guys can visit during the hols if you're interested... and if we have enough people who are interested maybe we can all go gallery hopping or sth like that =)

FICTION@LOVE. Exploring the influence of contemporary popular culture on art, this exhibition casts light on issues invvolving the Internet and comic aesthetics. With paintings, videos and installations from renowned artists hailing from places such as Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, Korea and America, be prepared for a riveting visual onslaught. Through July 2. Singapore Arts Mueseum. Open Mon-Thur, Sat-Sun, 10am-7pm; Fri, 10am-9pm. (for RJC students entry might be free; check with Mr Chia first)

OPERA GALLERY. "Corda Mauro maniu Nicolae" Celebrated sculptor Maura Corda creates startling transcendental art pieces that deal with the concept of space. The works of this artist have graced galleries in Spain, France, Amsterdam, Venice, London and New York. This exhhibition looks set to woo local art lovers over. Through Jun 1. #02-12H Ngee Ann City. Free.

EARLY WORKS. What started out as an interest took off to become a passion for renowned photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Check out his early masterpieces shot in Europe, Mexico, USA and Africa in this exhibition, where the banal and monotonous gain a beauty of their own. Jun 7-29. The Arts House. Open daily 101m-10pm. Free.

There's more, but they are all in weird obscure places and the descriptions are very long =S. If you want to find out about more exhibits/galleries, just go pick up an issue of the I.S magazine, which is free and available pretty much everywhere if you look close enough. (try restaurants)
