Nights Festival 2012 was held on two weekends, 24& 25 Aug and from31 Aug & 01 Sep 7pm to 2am. Admission was free.
This is the 5th installment since it was held. My initial thought that the activities was only restricted to those at the museums but I was wrong! There were many more activities. More information on the activities can be found here. Most of the activities are held along Bras Basah area where all the art related organisations are at.
Here are some of the exhibits which I visited:
MIMOïD II
The facade of Singapore Arts Museum was transformed to different themes. The picture I took was when the building was transformed to some forest theme. Music was played during the transformation. It's quite an interesting visual experience
Seeker of hope: Works by Jia Aili
Although it may not seem like but I kind of like going to paint exhibition. Each art pieces represent a message which the artist want to bring across.Some may be up to our imagination. Jia Aili's works are a reflection on the dramatic changes in Chinese society after 2000.
I particularly like this piece:
The art exhibition is held at Singapore Arts Museum from 6 July to 23 September 2012.
Exhibits from SAM 8Q
These exhibits in 8Q does not seem to be Nights Festival related. Nevertheless, we still went for a visit since admissions were free.
A room full of colorful drawings. Visitors can also contribute to filling up the wall. The trees remove of those in the movie, Lorax.
The theme of this exhibitions is on boxes. Visitors can also contribute by drawing the the boxes. This is one which I found really cute.
The title of this exhibit is Grow a garden in the dark. The room is filled with paper leaves and butterflies. UV lights were on to create the glow in the dark effect.
Review for this year's Nights Festival wasn't as good as the past year. Since it was my first time, I find it pretty impressive. Will be there again for 2013 Night Festival!
