Too bored to do anything today so I went to the National Museum to check out what the buzz was about. I was quite reluctant to pay for the "national" exhibits and I was rather glad there were free exhibits, which didn't disappoint. Worth taking note is the Leslie Kee Superstar exhibition dedicated to the 2004 Asian Tsunami victims. The Tokyo-based Singaporean photographer couldn't go wrong with beautiful (East) Asian superstar models from Aaron Kwok to Zhang Ziyi, from actors to sumo wrestlers. The gallery was a splendid visual orgy of beautiful faces and great poses (my favourite being the samurai sword-wielding androgyne!) although a lot of it was stereotypical of popular culture. (Torn clothes, electric guitars, sultry faces... you get the hint.) After a while, it was too much eye candy and I had to leave.
Alas, the exhibition will only last another 2 days. Don't miss it!
SUPERSTARS EXHIBITION will open in the Singapore National Museum (93 Stamford Road) from 27 April until 4th May, 2007, 10AM-6PM, Free Admission.
