Met up with all other international participants outside our hostel G4 Station this morning at 9.45. We have come from all over the globe Dubai, Indonesia, Prague, Switzerl

and and of course us English (four of us in fact, two from a Uni in Winchester).
Met Singaporean tutors and fellow participants, had introductions, informal chats and snacks, tours around La Salle's glorious building and facilities, visited some very professional student exhibitions in the gallery spaces by La Salle people and Norwegian students. The Norwegian show was the result of a proposal put forward to La Salle and Tod (our Tutor for the project) encourages us to have a go and put in a proposal ourselves!We've had a very busy day.
Saw a show called Nebula at the C

hapel Gallery in Sculpture Square. OM Mee Ai is a Korean artist based in Singapore. OM obtained Master of Fine Arts (Painting) at the LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts, Singapore and Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) with High Distinction from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT), Australia. OM’s abstract paintings are mixture of multiplied grids and translucent colours that utilize a technique of complex and meticulous process of repetitive “taping, layering, and wiping” to assemble colour, texture, and improvised visual. It is a pure abstract painting in a form of post geometrical modernism (pictures and text taken from her Saatchi site: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist_profile/Mee%20Ai+Om/66451.html)
Then very nearly walked all over the Island checking our art sites. Got back to G4 (our hostel) for a rest then straight out again to the opening of another show put on by some La Salle graduates in an old interesting space above a bar called Night and Day.
