displacementary launch images

*event coverage and images after the jump*

as i stealthily (of coz i exaggerate) barged into made my way into a severely packed opening launch of the DISPLACEMENTARY exhibition @ the City Gallery (an hour late no less *paiseh*), i was overwhelmed by the works displayed before me (no exaggeration). the pride i felt for these folks (whom i only "knew" via the www) put a wide inner smile and frown on my chubby face. "smile" becoz these guys were singaporean and made good they have (apologies for my yoda-moment :p) ... and "frown" becoz of the fear of not being able to take proper/good pictures of the artworks before me. i dare not assume that i've done justice to their works and all i can offer to do, is to let the images speak for themselves.


Displacementary Launch images
(taken 30th September 2006 - apologies for slow download as there's over 100-pics :p)


to viewers/readers: do use the images as you will, i only ask that the following artists be credited ... and mayhap it would be nice if i could get a wee mention too :)
- Artvsts (http://artvsts.blogspot.com/)
- LilPinkDevil (http://lilpinkdevil.blogspot.com/)
- Maes2ro (http://maes2rology.blogspot.com/)
- OneTwoDelta (http://www.seekglory.com/)
- Orkibal (http://orkibal.fotopages.com/)
- PhuEk! (http://www.phuek.blogspot.com/)
- TheKillerGerbil (http://www.thekillergerbil.com/)
- ZERO (http://zerostarrfighter.blogspot.com/)

IMHO: no point hoarding / holding unto the images for my own gratification and blog-hits, when local talents like the Artvsts are not known throughout the world. if you like what you see, please do let them and the world know :)

and without any sense of embarassement (not that there could be) or any form of ass-kissery, i say this: t'was great meeting you, PhueK (and da missus), KillerGerbil and ZERO ~ and to the rest of you guys (whom i didn't have a chance to meet): *fantastic job! my respect and my pride goes out to you*

DISPLACEMENTARY runs daily til 30th October 2006 @ The City Gallery, Bras Basah Complex, Level 4 (next to Basheer's Books)
