Where’s WALTER? – What’s On: 17/18 Sept 2011
Chances are, the kids have already met WALTER, the ‘Curious Colossal Bunny’, at 8Q at SAM (Singapore Art Museum) during the museum’s Children’s Season. If they missed him, or miss him, here’s an opportunity to start a beautiful relationship or revive a flagging one.
Who’s WALTER, you ask? Well, he’s only our nation’s most celebrated buck and local artist Dawn Ng’s very big (literally!) pet project. Guerilla installations of this plus-sized mammal pop up in unexpected locations across the island, challenging our perceptions of the overlooked and the familiar while dodging men in blue and (so the press release says) people born without a sense of humour.
