http://documentations.blogspot.com/2011/10/deepavali-behind-rowell-road-field.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. Field Sounds: Deepavali behind Rowell Road. Dolphin stickers on a wall along Rowell Road. I was sitting at home on Deepavali day, confronted with the noise of a chinese funeral in front, a traffic jam, the general hustle and bustle of Little India on a public holiday, when suddenly I could hear another noise - what sounded like somebody screaming. Alarmed, I went to check out the sound. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Field Sounds: Deepavali behind Rowell Road. View my com...

http://documentations.blogspot.com/2011/02/cigondewah-tisna-sanjaya-nus-museum-17.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. Cigondewah - Tisna Sanjaya (NUS Museum, 17 Feb 2011). Where a clean river once flowed, it is now filled with waste. Clear water has now been replaced with a rainbow of colours reminiscent of the moi indie paintings - red, yellow, green, brown, and sometimes even black, depending on the toxic discharge from the factories upstream." (Artist's statement). Why is he bringing up Singapore now? Seni sebagai jalan hidup" (art as a way of life). ART = KAPITAL (Joseph Beuys). I think ...

Sunday, February 27, 2011. Perspectives from the Ideal City - Peter Chen (Post Museum, 24 Feb 2011). Peter Chen's "Perspectives from the Ideal City" features some stunning panoramic prints documenting what seems like a systematic demolition of unbelievably iconic pieces of Singapore's Post-Independence architecture, deemed by various policies to be of architectural unimportance, or overridden by a competitive market driven by practicality and money.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012. I D and Under the Velvet Sky (Blu Jaz, 15 February 2012). Under the Velvet Sky's set was like a bunch of guitars and a saxophone wildly mating against the backdrop of a lush bassline.

Friday, March 11, 2011. Citysounds: Allah Akbar / In Excelsis Deo / Huat Ah Heng Ah. Taman Rasuna - Allah Akbar. Jakarta, December 2010). Who was keeping awake at 3 in the morning? Who was listening and who was still praying at this hour? It was as if the voices from the poorer quarters of Jakarta competed with one another to be heard, and under the blanket of darkness, I did not know who might still be listening.
