Gillman Barracks: International Art Galleries

Located at the lush greenery Lock Road, this former colonial military camp is now home to 16 international art galleries, three restaurants and the Centre for Contemporary Art. I always assume that galleries are like arts museums. Recently I learned the difference is you can purchase the arts in art galleries. Few weeks ago, I went to Gillman Barracks for a guided tour with my cousin and cousin-in law. 

If you want to learn more on different arts or purchase art piece, you can visit this place which is near Labrador park.

 Chalk Arts on the road

 Money by Yukinori Yanagi.  This art is done on sand. The artist released live ants to this art and thus it created the cracks on the dollar note as it tunnel in the sand. This is an example of conceptual art with deep meaning. The hardworking ant is used as a metaphor for hardworking worker. It kinda symbolise the impact how a small ant or person could create significant damage to the world through mass consumption. 

Flower by Yukinori Yanagi. Similarly live ants were released to the sand art.
