Guess who I finally bumped into when I dropped by the Future of Imagination 06 event at Sculpture Square earlier tonight? Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn and Frank Black! Not! But it was just as cool. I finally met Tang Da Wu! A.k.a. The Artists Village founder and legendary performance artist. A.k.a. He Who Must Not Be Ignored And Must Get A Solo Show At SAM. *cough cough again* I wanted to take a photo with him but Da Wu politely declined, saying he was shy. Hee. But nehmind, as part of FOI, which is on until Sunday, he’s performing tomorrow, 5pm, at the Singapore Art Museum. All you art freaks must die-die come okay? Arts scene documentor extraordinaire Koh Nguang How said the last time Da Wu performed in Singapore at SAM was probably in 1996! That was when he was asked to introduce Montien Boonma at SAM and had snuck in some critical remarks about how the museum picks the works it acquires – with his own performance after the Thai artist’s bowl tower work (which was recently exhibited again) using Chinese teacups and a weighing scale. Details for all FOI performances here. *** So how was FOI06 Day Three? I’ve yet to put up some video snippets so in the meantime, here’s an account. Apparently due to some unforeseen circumstances, not least our lovely erratic rains, the kite flying performance by Juliana Yasin and the Indonesian group Jatiwangi Art Factory at East Coast (then West Coast) Park sort of fizzled out. Although they did fly kites at the last minute – in the rain. So they were inserted into the night’s schedule at Sculpture Square where they did a number of songs they had written.
