Ar, garden city
it seems that the art of the government is still horticulture.imf=import many flowers.
biennale= make big banners look artfully stupid amongst newly implemented bushes in town.
who is to know how biennale is supposed to sound like? is it english, french--when in doubt, say it in singlish? even the most worthy prof tried, she sounded like a trying art-promoter, to my utter disgust at the end of a very agreeable and inspiring literature class.
damn biennale, with its imported name and artists. because
1. biennale is a show. and whatever merit it essentially might have, is denied appreciation by the damnable superficiality of banners and bushes.
2. something as wonderful and comparably avant-garde as this biennale, the Sept Fest-is cancelled because they wont close a small road for some party!
police say no, authorities say no. i was going to submit words to be shouted out by (i hope) a hot woman standing high on a donated sofa on Armenian Street holding a loudhailer!
why wont the authorities let common people have some art they understand?
why have the "art show" on tv mobile feature the launch of some aristocratic label no bus-rider who travels so far as little india will have the chance to attend?
plantation of art snobbery.
