Night of Desirable Objects - Melissa Tan and Bruce Quek

This exhibition is held at Grey Projects from 7th May 2015 to 31st May 2015.

Grey Projects is an independent art space so you kind of figure the works that are showing there.

The exhibition is curated by Andrea Fam and Jason Wee.

Bruce Quek presented a projection of 'stars' which moved about slowly. Interesting. It think it was titled Consider(Paris); Cadastre per Aspera.

Melissa Tan did a follow up of her windy up / music box thingy. She constructed 3 stands to house the industrial quality music wind up thingy. I think after the fragile one at the Richard Koh exhibition broke last year. This time the height of the pins on the drums were based on Rocks, and would hit against the comb to produce the sound. So the industrial cranking against the musical comb was interesting.

Points for collectors: Not sure about Bruce Quek. Was featured in the Singapore Eye, but other then his writing, he has remained low profile. Melissa Tan is considered a Buy, her sculptures sold well at Art stage. However, the stands I felt was priced a bit high.
