Amanda Heng Exhibition at Singapore Art Museum


Today our art teacher took us to the Singapore Art Museum to view the artworks by Amanda heng, a Singaporean artist, who would be in our syllabus next year. She is really amazing and her works reflects on the feminism movement.

Amanda heng's Art on Feminism. The words on the table cloth shows the emotions of the women and the food was an essential household item which women used in the past.


She relates with her mom by taking off their clothes





This was my favourite part of the exhibition. It was really creepy because of all the girls clothes. It was actually to show the number of female lives taken away back olden day China as females were considered inferior and were aborted once the pregnant women found out about the gender of their child. The clothes represent the lives.




Peeling Beansprout : A traditional way of gathering between women to discuss daily lives







Here is a diferent exhibition altogether. It's even more amazing as the artist, Hyung Koo Kung, a korean artist who paints photorealistic portraits of either himself or celebrities. It's really fascinating...
