In a disused hanger, sunlight streams through broken windows. Rainwater drips from rusty iron girders. In this unlikely setting stands one of the key works of the Singapore Biennale 2011 (March 13 to May 15) -- a big barn with a stuffed goat.
Created by Scandinavian duo Elmgreen and Dragset, this traditional German barn looks out of place among the remnants of Singapore?s former Kallang Airport. Inside, fresh hay is piled high, filling the barn with the smell of the countryside, while three hunky Asian youths laze on the bales.
Such incongruity is typical of contemporary art and in this Biennale it centers on the theme of "Open House."
