Art @ Vivocity

Met up with WenXin last Sat 21 Oct to check out the new shopping mall—Vivocity. Where else!

I bought my digicam along, intending to track down all the sculptures of Vivocity, as featured in the Straits Times, but just as soon as we entered the Basement 2 of the mall from the MRT, this hop caught our attention.

So many candies, chocolates!!
The shop was really congested with people from all age groups. I thought parents would be controlling their kids, saying things like : “No , these are bad for yr teeth”.
But to our surprise, we saw families in the queue with basketful of candies and chocolates. It really make us seemed so pathetic cos the two of us only bought 2 boxes of Raffaello chocolates, a Wonka bar and a coconut Kit Kat bar. Actually I was really tempted to purchase another Honeycomb kit Kat bar and some mint chocolates… kekeke

走马看花地逛了B2的商店，we proceed to Lev 1 to check out the sculptures (there aren’t any shop in B1).


There we spotted this, Flower Tree by Choi Jeong Hwa from Korea. It is a 6m tall spherical bouquet of colourful fiberglass flowers “blooming” amid real tree.




Then we checked out this 13m fiberglass sculpture which is simply titled “Snowman” by inges idee art collective from Germany.



Wanted to take pictures of Aphrodite’s Roses (Wine-red rose sculptures) by Hiroshi Yoshimizu from Japan but unable to do so, cos some people who don’t know they are art pieces, mistook them as seats and sat on them.

Walked ard Level, and then Level 2 and then we proceed to level 3. There were quite a few sculptures at the outdoor pool, but this caught my attention.




This art piece is titled “There” by Henk Visch. It is a fibreglass sculpture of a gymnast frozen in flight. It is powered by motor & occasionally turns in the air. And such a coincidence that was we approached it, it was turning (for less that 10 secs) . But it’s too late for use to dig out our cameras. Hence we checked out the Food Republic food court at the same level before we returned to the pool again to take pics of it.


Now then, if you are wonder where the hell am I so smart to know the titles and the artists, well…, the credits goes to the report on Strait Times, 17 Oct 2006 . The info are extracted from there .

See, 我是有做功课的。
