If you've recalled my previous post on the book call
Lust For Life, you would know that I simply adore Van Gogh even though I think he's a bum. So it's no surprise that I was counting down the day to visit the Van Gogh Alive Exhibition @ ArtScience Museum Singapore. I even organised a meetup for the Singapore Humanism Meetup group. But I wanted it to be not just another meetup. I wanted to mark the day as a special day. So I picked 30-July, one day after the anniversary of Vincent's death. And I brought flowers to the museum too! For everyone that came, they got a germini from me, and all the guides for the exhibition got one too :) I love giving flowers to random people!
The exhibition was help in a empty hall in total darkness, with only Vincent's paintings projected in vivid color on all the walls! And to accompany it were classical music. They were some animation when the paintings transformed to another. It was a rather surreal feeling just being there. The darkness, the cool aircon environment, and the spaces inside made it just magical!
You could sit down there and have a picnic if you want too :) I just love the idea of that!
I leave you now with a wise saying from Vincent to ponder over....
