THE ART

19-year old Muhd Heider did his Breathe Music illustration for the cover of a magazine.

“The theme was music. I was listening to Helter Skelter at the time. So that was how I got the idea for the illustration. Basically, its all about ‘feeling’ the theme. I drew it out first, scanned it in and used photoshop to manipulate the picture.”

THE ARTIST

Muhd Heider is a foundation student from LASALLE, who very much enjoys what he is doing. “I like to ride my BMX with my homeboys, listening to the Beatles, traveling, cooking, my dad, my friends and miss K. I am currently working on an upcoming BMX clothing line called Backyard Clothing.”

  • Daydreams & Night Musings
    This is a site-specific dance performance happening this Sep 12-14 at the Night & Day Bar and Gallery. Working together in a grand excavation, choreographer Angela Liong collaborates with video artist Jing Chiang, experimental musicians from Choppa and the ARTS FISSION dancers try to peel away the layers of old wall paints, peer through antique patterns of metal grilles and discover faint stirs of life past lurking behind relentless pulses of life present. The dance performance explores the temporal elements of past in present, old spaces with new uses, and contemplates the possible interface of prosaic modern life with dramatic residue of ancient myth. 12-14 Sep at Night & Day. Two Shows 6:30pm (Daydreams), 10:00pm (Night Musings). Admission: $25 for one show, $45 for two shows. - #
  • For Mr. & Mrs. Children
    Twin brothers Chun Kaifeng and Chun Kaiqun are displaying an art-as-child's-play aesthetic for their first combined solo exhibitions.At the heart of it all, both artists have much to say about the country they have grown up in. They lampoon amusement parks in an oblique way of questioning why Singapore's tourism image is driven by economic initiatives that can do with more imagination; why childhood past-times have evolved to a sterile, character-less ghost of yesteryear's dirt-under-fingernails' games; or why people are paying money to entertain themselves literally to a spiritual death. Whatever the answer, fun is definitely a main element in this exhibition – streaked with cruelty, danger and violence. 31 Aug - 21 Sept at Post-Museum. - #
  • What Day Is It Today?

  • RESERVOIR
    TheatreWorks presents RESERVOIR, which investigates one of the lesser-known heritage sites of Singapore, the ruins of the Syonan Jinja. RESERVOIR is devised based on our curiosity as young Singaporean and Japanese artists towards this historical site. Unearthing forgotten myths and stories, we attempt to construct conversations about the shrine. Together, we re-visit the shrine in search of the remains and its forgotten voices. Questioning once again, its relevance to Singapore, and the “Japanese Occupation forces’ uncanny prophesies/visions of Singapore becoming the city of the future”. 28 to 30 Aug, 8pm nightly / 3pm matinee on 30 August at TheareWorks, 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road. Tickets: call 6737 7213 during office hours or email tworks@singnet.com.sg - #
