The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) will open an intriguing exhibition this weekend to accompany its sister museum's Imaginarium 2016 exhibition, and it's a trove of wonders.
"Odyssey: Navigating Nameless Seas", running from Jun 4 to Aug 28, showcases explorations of the ocean by artists from Singapore, Southeast Asia and beyond. It will be the museum's last exhibition before preparing for the Singapore Biennale.
Here are seven of the most intriguing artworks to be discovered at the exhibition.
3. “A Short History of Man and Animal” by Richard Streitmatter-Tran (Vietnam-America)
This interesting installation is a wooden boat with a spine running down its hull, highlighting how the design of fishing vessels are inspired by the physical characteristics of whales.
The ‘bones’ are made of plaster, and they will naturally crack and splinter as the exhibition goes on.
