Artworld in 9 Days: Day 2 Tips, Insights and Setbacks




Walk quickly and a lot. SAW should collaborate with the Health Promotion Board and count cultural steps or steps towards culture. Give the culture vultures a reward or something, give them an artwork! Substation next inter-ministry production for SAW!


A bowl of Rice analogy. If you are given a bowl of rice, and you eat two mouthfuls and throw the rest away. Isn't that wasteful? Going to all the events is like finishing the rice with no need to clean the bowl. I feel a little defeated at this rate - should have some rice left in the bowl.

Don't talk too much. That's my setback on the two days. Not seeing many peeps for so long was tempting to stop to say 'hallo' and find out how they are. Suppose one wants to finish the rice. Talk less and keep walking.

Jokes aside. I think so far the best part about the SAW experience is that people get into conversations about art, life and politics.

My favourite quote so far is from Lucas.
On the nice crowd at Gillman Barracks, he said:
"People realise that Art and culture are essential after the lockdown, so they are all coming to see art!"
