Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei 2014

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) is a fun way to spend an afternoon in Taipei. It's not a particularly big museum which means museum fatigue is less likely to happen, crowds are spread across the different rooms and it never felt crowded or difficult to view the artworks on display. While the exhibitions are contemporary in nature, I thought they were shown in an accessible manner with each individual artwork able to stand alone and entertain the viewer.

On weekends, you will probably find a plethora of activities happening around MOCA. When I visited, there was a flea market happening and it was fun to browse the stalls set up mostly by students selling their wares and second-hand clothes.

Textures, Tones and Timbres

Textures, Tones and Timbres: Art by Chong Fahcheong was an exhibition held earlier this year at the NUS Museum. Better known for his iconic sculpture of boys jumping into the Singapore River, Singaporean sculptor Chong Fahcheong presented a set of new works that melds together his journey, his surroundings and the materials he uses.

I loved this exhibition. Because for once, sight is complemented by the ability to touch and to breathe in the scent of the wood.
