Barter,Better, Best
Warung M. Nasir, Killiney Road, Singapore
2007

Coined by French art critic Nicholas Bourriaud, “Art represents a barter activity that cannot be regulated by any currency or any current substance.” This exhibition titled, Barter, Better, Best was a trade affair; an exchange of artwork with any object anyone can provide. My artwork explores in the redefinition of a product by giving it a new meaning. Apart from nature of its function, I gave them an alternative perceptive analysis; a historical implication.

And what I have gotten? A styrofoam cup with a packet of herbal tea. Let’s trade for art.
