We Singaporeans should feel so lucky. In an unprecedented move, 138 engravings from the esteemed Louvre Museum will be on display at the Singapore Art Museum—made possible by the good people at The Singapore Art Museum (of course) and the Singapore French Festival Voilah!.

The selection of engravings that is currently on display (even as you’re reading this) is produced by the Louvre’s Chalcography, and features historically significant works.

For the uninitiated, chalcography is the technique of engraving on copper, and was endorsed during the reign of France’s most famous king—Louis XIV (1643-1715). Fans of French history will probably be familiar with the Cabinet du Roi (King’s Cabinet)—a Louis XIV collection of etchings that recorded royal residences, landmarks, monuments, historical events—as well as etchings made in the likeness of masterpieces in the royal art collections.

The works of the Cabinet du Roi form a big part of the exhibition, but you’ll also get a privileged glimpse of other renowned works like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Eugene Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People that have resonated throughout history. Prints based on the work of other maestros like Raphael, Nicolas Poussin and Jean-August Dominique Ingres are also available. However, you’ll also find contemporary prints by Louise Bourgeois, whose approach will most certainly lend a breath of fresh air to the exhibition.

“It is a rare opportunity indeed for us to present such a historically significant exhibition which goes back to the collection of France’s “Sun King,” Louis XIV,” says Mr. Kwok Kian Chow, Director of the Singapore Art Museum. And unless you’re heading to Paris soon, this might be your only opportunity in a while to catch these works.

While it is fairly obvious that curators share a close relationship with artists, the relationship becomes even more intertwined and complex with Trading Craft: A Performance of Curators by Khairuddin Hori. A performance by five curators (Thomas Berghuis, Adeline Ooi, Mikke Susanto, Chumpon Apisuk and Wong Hoy Cheong), Trading Craft questions the specifics of the creative process between an artist and a curator.

We quizzed Singaporean artist and LASALLE Fine Arts alumnus Khairuddin Hori in an earnest attempt to understand more about the intricacies of curating, as well as his latest baby—and came away, well, mystified.

What is the unique relationship between an artist and a curator?
Well, some artists develop very intimate relationships with curators, while others place themselves strategically with the hope that their artistic genius be noticed while dreaming of international superstardom.

We confess we’re stumped—what do you mean when you say that curating is the “fourth dimension in art”?
According to mathematics, the fourth dimensional hypersphere has a hypervolume of 1/2(pi^2)r^4. Thus, we should not only look at the production of art in economic or metaphysical terms, you know?

OK. What future do you think curating will have in Singapore in the next couple of years?
Curators coming from purely academic backgrounds will have to learn to steal for a piece of the action from curators who are equally eloquent, trained and have practiced as artists.

Does being both an artist and a curator give you a more informed perspective? If so, how?
I understand what a painter goes through when he or she says that he or she does not have enough money to replace a worn out brush.

If you scored:

4-6 You vaguely grasp the concept of trans fat, but loads of it is probably lurking in your system now.
7-9 Not bad. You are quite savvy about the specifics of this sordid fat... but there’s room for improvement.
10-12 Excellent! You can start waging a nationwide campaign against TF, Joan of Arc-style.

There’s an unsaid aversion in the modern world to being alone. Many of us try hard just to be seen with company so we don’t look unwanted or just plain weird. But not Hebei artist Yang Yongsheng, who has a collection of paintings of solitary human figures in a bare, stripped-down environment in his latest exhibition called Lost In Thought.

Cast a glance at his paintings, and it is evident that Yang does not balk at the reality of showing how desolate the figure of the individual can be. Solitary figures are captured for you to decide if these subjects are lonely or just alone. Yang says, “The figures in my paintings are all lonely, reclusive and solitary figures. I think that the soul of each individual body is solitary, and lonely. Loneliness raises the spirit, until it is able to feel the presence of God and feel a sense of belonging.”

It is this understanding of the human condition that lends the collection its thought-provoking nature. Yang comments, “The ‘realness’ of the human condition touches me, even if it isn’t beautiful, but ugly and repulsive. We are often preoccupied with beauty and goodness, but beauty is now idealized and goodness, relative. The only thing that is ‘real’ is truth, and life, and the things that are alive are those that are the most vibrant and charismatic.”

While it is not evident if it is the environment that influences the emotions of these characters, or if it is inconsequential to their sadness, one suspects that the bare surroundings are merely an artistic representation of the emotional state of Yang’s subjects who are all caught up with their private thoughts, or “the monologue of the soul,” as Yang puts it. He seeks to portray the secret, silent world that every individual dwells in that is full of pain, confusion and loneliness at times. “If touched, that dimension of the soul is actually a way of exposing human nature, and human nature is common to all of humanity,” Yang adds.

Like a drama, Yang directs his subjects skillfully, showing figures of young women that are at the prime of their lives but whom are somehow forlorn and desolate, and who express a “beautiful, serene sort of sorrow,” highlighting the existentialist crisis that every individual must deal with.

Whether you’re a hardened realist or a misty-eyed romantic, the concept of the “ever after” must have crossed your mind. It certainly crossed visual artist Sandra Lee’s mind—for she returns for the second and last time as Marina Mandarin’s artist-in-residence, in her second solo outing cryptically named The Plight of the Ever After. We spoke to Lee about her intriguing pen and ink drawings, and whether she believes in the “ever after.”

You use black, red and white in your drawings. We’re guessing—black represents death, red represents violence and white represents innocence?
Ha ha. Good one. That’s one way of looking at it. As much as I express my thoughts and feelings through my work, I like the viewer to interpret it using their own experiences. The red in some my paintings to me represents hope.

What are the main themes in your work?
The overall theme is the search for answers as we journey through life, symbolized by the girl in the chair. My work reflects my interest in things that might or might not be, things that are not solved for us. The solutions to these mysteries lie in a place that is close to us yet far away from our imagination. Some other themes include seeing and believing, displacement, identity and death. But most of all it’s about hope.

Does the girl in your drawings represent yourself? Or is she a character you created and if so, why?
All the characters that I create are part of my personality. Then again it could also be part of you! The little girl in the drawings represents that little person that still resides somewhere in every adult, I think. At least she still resides in me.

Are your drawings metaphorical depictions of your own experiences?
Yes. It’s partially autobiographical, based on memories past and present, and a mix of dreams.

OK. So what in your opinion lasts forever?
Nothing lasts forever. Even memories fade. But it’s nice when the good ones linger a while.

Just ask around in your circle of friends and chances are that at least one of them is attending a yoga class, or has attended one before in his or her lifetime.

Numerous yoga studios and fitness centers have sprung up all over the island in the past two years, all eager to rake in what some term as the “yoga dollar”. According to a The Straits Times article in Feb this year, yoga was voted as one of the country’s top ten sports last year—which means Singaporeans are finding it an effective way to tone up and wind down.

So now you know: Yoga is the new way to attaining better health, peace and a erm, rubbier physique (you know what we mean). Not only will you surprise yourself with never-before known feats of dexterity, but you’ll also enjoy a new inner calm. So read on for a guide to this yog-tastic sport.

Yoga Stereotypes

Once you embark on your yoga travels, we’re sure you’ll be rubbing shoulders and yoga mats with a few recurring types that you will no doubt have many encounters with (for better or worse). Here’s our pick of some. Recognize any?

The Yoga Bunny (read: Vainpot)

While the rest of us sweat it out in totally unglam positions matched with angst-ridden expressions, this said species just waltzes in wearing the tiniest (and trendiest) gym outfit with matching yoga bag and mat, plus the latest perfume, accessories and matching colored nails—looking like a Barbie Yoga Doll. It makes you wonder if they’re there for yoga or to be a human exhibit of bimbotic-ness. No wonder you can’t master the moves. You’re puking inside half the time.

How to deal with them: “Accidentally” spill your half-drunk latte in their yoga bag, then casually offer them your most hideous, ah-soh (auntie) T-shirt to wear home. Then, as she puts it on reluctantly, glossed lips trembling, take a picture of her and stick it on her locker. That’s sure to make her famous.

Yoga studio most likely to frequent: COMO Shambhala Urban Escape. It’s run by Club 21. Enough said.

The Royal Whiner

While to complain is to be Singaporean, this species takes the cake. You can hear them before you see them—whining about how hot the room is during a hot yoga session, how difficult it is to touch their small toe, how prickly the bath towels and yoga mats are, how slowww the instructor is, and when he picks up his speed, how they can’t keep up because the instructor is “too fast lah!”. The classes are too big (or too small) depending on their mood, and virtually every type of yoga is too tough for them. In short, nothing is ever good enough for these guys—the Yoga Malcontent.

How to deal with them: Whatever you do, don’t be a fool and complain along with them. That will fuel their dissatisfaction and they’ll follow you to the ends of the earth, still bitching away. Just ignore them. Walk away halfway while they are poised in mid-bitch. Or just hiss savagely “shaaaaad dup lah.”

Yoga studio most likely to frequent: The Yoga Place. Classes are pretty small here, so the Royal Whiner has ample time and space to air their one million and one grievances.

The Showoff

This yoga specimen thinks they’re too good to walk on the same ground as you—the inadequate yoga duckling. Unfortunately good at the yoga game, they make no bones about letting everyone know it. You’ll see them executing the most excruciating pose without the slightest effort, then coolly telling you to try it. They’ll be the smart ass raising their hand and offering information when the instructor asks the class a question. Sometimes, they even teach the instructor a move or two, while casting a pitying glance at the rest of us poor mortals. They reek completely of a barely-disguised air of superiority.

How to deal with them: These types of cretins crave attention, so never gawk at their moves. They’ll lap it all up. Instead, read up on the obscurest yoga info you can find then quiz them. And if they don’t know, screech loudly “You mean YOU DON’T KNOW? HOW CAN?”, making them drop dead with shame. The easy way out is of course to just ignore them. Your choice.

Yoga studio most likely to frequent: Bikram Yoga City Hall. It’s endorsed by the Bikram Yoga College of India, so the Showoff will be able to feel superior once he steps in (not that he needs any help on that).

The Unabashed Nudist

Most of us are shy about how we look and try to hide behind closets to disguise our not-so-glorious bits, but there are a few unwelcome exceptions. You can spot them a mile away—unembarrassed, blatant types shoving their pastily pale, horrendously flabby bits at whoever that’s unfortunate enough to be near. Their one favorite move is bending over—thereby exposing their creased and corpulent parts to all and sundry who are immediately and irrevocably traumatized. If you’re super duper unlucky, they may even release a fart or two while bending over, causing a nuclear holocaust.

How to deal with them: Two words: Wet towel or alternatively—Rubber band

Yoga studio most likely to frequent: Pure Yoga. Classes have more than ten students in them, so they can be the flesh flasher (get it?) to a larger crowd.

The Newbie

You can spot them a mile away—with a lost, vague expression, scratching their neck and haplessly clutching their mat. They flout all the unsaid rules unknowingly—changing in the toilet cubicle, mispronouncing yoga jargon and messing up their locker combination. While you were probably once like that yourself, the savvy yoga expert in you has hardly sympathy (or time) left for the floundering newbie. Tough luck.

How to deal with them: If you’re feeling wicked, sign them up for the “Advanced Über-Yoga” course and giggle to yourself as they cry helplessly, trying desperately to touch their foot to their ear.

Yoga studio most likely to frequent: True Yoga. Knowing how lost these guys always are, they’re likely to enroll in a well-established name like True so as to feel more secure (as if).

Where to get your dosage of yoga

The Truth About Yoga and Pilates

Porn or Yoga Ad?

Love it or hate it, work is something all of us have to do. In fact, we actually spend more of our waking hours in this sordid establishment called the workplace than we do at home. Yes, we know there’s never enough time to finish your work—much less think about the strange effect that your cube, your boss, your colleagues and the amount of work you’re shoveling away at every day are having on your health. However, you should, just in case you suddenly concuss on your keyboard. Here’s the I-S breakdown of lurking office dangers.

The Great Email Express

If there are more than 30 people in your office, you probably spend loads of time struggling with the modern evil called email. These things just keep dropping steadily into your email account, until you’re ready to pull your hair out every time you return to your seat to find another 20 freshly-mailed, bolded little buggers in your inbox. Help is here:

• Clear your inbox before you leave the office every day. Without fail.

• Create folders for people you regularly receive email from. Your email account will then be more organized.

• Clear your trash. Yes, we know this allows more mail to get in, but we don’t have a choice, do we?

• Auto-archive old emails that you don’t need to save space.

• Create action folders for tasks you have to do marked “done,” “to be done” etc.

• Heck, if you’re can’t get rid of it, make it work for you. Mark out important events with the calendar and set up pop-up reminders for things you need to get done.

The Unbearable Lightness of Screening

Unless you’ve got a totally dishy colleague whom you can’t take your eyes off, you probably spend your eight working hours gazing at an unpalatable object called the computer screen. Contact lens wearers will find their vision blurring and eyes reddening as oxygen to the eyes is cut off by prolonged screen staring. Even if you don’t wear lenses, long hours of working at the computer will soon give you headaches, fatigue, an aching back and sore neck muscles. In fact, there is a syndrome called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) that’s characterized by symptoms such as tired eyes, eyestrain, redness, irritation and double vision. Put these tips into action:

• Buy a computer screen filter for yourself—a handy device that fits on your computer screen and minimizes the amount of glare you receive every time you look at the screen.

• Get eyedrops and use it regularly if you wear contact lenses so your eyes won’t dry out.

• Take a five-minute break every hour. Heave your butt off that chair, chat with a similarly-stressed colleague or take a walk.

• Blink more often. Research has shown that increased blinking allows the eyes to hydrate more rapidly. It’s easy to forget this because when we’re concentrating, we stare at the screen without blinking.

• Adjust your screen brightness. It doesn’t need to light the way to India.

• Increase your pageview settings to 150 percent. That way, your eyes won’t have to strain when you’re typing feverishly away.

• Rest your eyes by gazing at an object in the distance such as the bus stop where you take the bus home.

Another Germ Bytes The Dust

Think about where you rest your long-suffering elbows at work. Yep, your desk. And ask yourself how often you clean it. Never, right? Research conducted in the States shows that more germs breed per square inch on an office desk than a toilet seat. That means you’re breeding about a gazillion million germs on your desk—which makes you super susceptible to falling sick. Try these steps for a relatively more germ-free existence:

• Don’t eat at your desk. Just think of all the ants and creepy crawlies feasting on the bits of char siew rice you dropped. Gross.

• Wipe your desk area (and PC) every week—including your mouse. Trust us, it’s filthy.

• Clear your desk of all unwanted papers you’ve been too lazy to throw.

• Wash your coffee mugs instead of letting them rot at your desk—with coffee stains and sour remnants of what used to be coffee. Ewww.

• If you talk on the phone often, place a teabag in the nook where you place your receiver. It’ll keep your phone smelling fresh.

• Empty your bin daily. Only dry waste should be in your cubicle rubbish bin. Throw your used styrofoam cups in the pantry garbage bin with a lid.

Messed Up and Stressed

What should you do if you’re always stressed? Follow these rules:

• Prioritize. Clear the most important tasks first.

• Always remember—one thing at a time.

• Lastly, develop a sturdy, they-can’t-get-me attitude. Do your best but hey—it’s just a job.

Cube Do’s

How to make your cubicle rock:
• Personalize it with knick knacks and cheery things. Work will seem more appealing.

• Minimize your clutter.

• Buy a stress ball and squeeze it when you feel you’re going crazy.

• Use a wrist rest.

• Stick hunky-dory posters and happy messages. Hey, positive thinking, right?

• Organize whatever clutter you have into files, shelves or drawers.
