ZNC, PHBKLK and a crew called WHO? had a day of pure aerosol madness last weekend over at the Somerset Skatepark. A rare occurence in SG, the graffiti competition felt more like a jamming session between the crews- they came, saw and conquered the walls with their own unique styles of techniques and illustrations. Though more could be done by the organizers, the crews were able to do what they do best without the men in blue breathing down their necks. More pictures after the jump.
Here’s a Singaporean story we can call our own. In Sandcastle, local filmmaker Boo Junfeng, 26, crafted a masterful, poignant and sensitive film about a boy’s coming-of-age in Singapore.
Sandcastle debuted in Cannes Film Festival 2010 to raving reviews, and is now showing exclusively at Golden Village Cinema Europa.
The story centers on an 18 year old boy, En, who grapples with his grandmother’s dementia, his first romance and the discovery of his late father’s involvement with the 1950s student riots.

Chun Kai Qun‘s installation ‘Utopia Highway‘ at the Esplanade Concourse is nothing short of breath-taking.

The road ahead takes form of the word ‘Utopia’, suggesting that the journey and search itself is where the Utopian ideal is.
