Perks of the Civil Service

Response to the Pavilion has been immense.

The Guest book is filled with just the most lovely comments, and some very random sketches.

We also waiting in anticipation for Da Wu's performance art piece with his metal chairs and banana tree trunks.

The massive posters outside the Palazzo, with the Singapore emblem has been a bit of a smash. I have had a couple of requests for a poster. The editor for the times, who came to visit yesterday, praised the subtlety of it, and how it held aspects of all the art being exhibited.

I think my favorite comment from the guest book would be ' Big up the Singapore Massive!! Supercali Represent!!.'

And here are a few others:

'so beautiful and interesting and inciting the viewer to understand what the artist is getting across. This was one of my best experiences of the whole Biennale!'

' Is the best pavilion of the Venice Biennale, everything is usually the same for me, however,in this exhibit, each does it and each contains a new world to be opened. Thank you. '

' Beautiful and thought with LOVE!!!"

' One of the most affecting exhibits of contemporary art I have ever seen. Thank you, artists, Thank you!'

' Beautiful exhibition, beyond cutting edge, but with class.'

'Erotic, moving, tragic!.'

'Spontaneous, very intriguing to the eyes. Full of suprises!! Worth seeing and talking to others about. You are all very good!.'


It's great being at the receiving end of things.
