| SAM |
Walter returns to SAM to celebrate Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rabbit. First exhibited on the roof of SAM at 8Q as part of the inaugural Art Garden: Children’s Season from May to July 2010, this time, Walter hops into the Chapel at SAM.
Created out of the artist’s desire to ‘enable others to discover the extraordinary in the everyday’, Walter is also inspired by various iconic rabbits in contemporary cultures such as the White Rabbit and March Hare in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Fifi Lapin the French bunny voted as ‘the world’s most stylish fashion bunny’ by Elle Magazine, the Moon Rabbit that makes delicious mochi rice cakes on the moon as portrayed in Japanese folklore and, of course, the legendary Easter Bunny.
So take this opportunity to stand cheek-to-cheek with Walter, our local and very own iconic white blow-up rabbit designed by Singaporean artist Dawn Ng and make sure you take a picture with him for prosperity and good luck! |
