Besides the Point

There's a new gallery in town. It is none other than the Wheelock Art Gallery.

You can literally walk into this one.



This one's titled "Besides the Point" by Ketna Patel. Her works are a blend of Art, Lifestyle, Marketing and Design.



Pointed things stand out in this artwork. But the wierd thing is what else is worth noticing "besides the point"?



Big slippers, a bed and a curvy couch stand out presumably to reflect the Lifestyle and Design themes of her work.



However, I think what the artist wants to draw attention to are the colourful prints on the items. It looks like a quilt of Singaporean-ness through the sign. Wonder what is with the "do not think" sign.
