"SUPERMAN" SINGAPORE ART MUSEUM
Currently on display until April 15th, 2012 at the Singapore Art Museum is a large sculpture of a melted Superman titled “No One Can Save Us Now" .
The piece was created by artists Eric Foenander and Mojoko as part of the exhibition: The Singapore Show: Future proof.
The piece is a comment on current global warming conditions and the un-optimistic view that there is little hope for the future.
It is made of polystyrene, Plaster of Paris, and plastic paint and took three people six weeks to create.
When asked what the public's reaction has been like Mojoko told us this, "People normally react by laughing, then taking photos of themselves in front of it, then they say, 'It's melting because its too hot in Singapore.' Which is kind of the correct reaction."
The Singapore Show: Future Proof brings together more than 35 works - including sculptures, paintings, performance art and site-specific installations - from 26 of today's young Singaporean artists who've made a mark either on the streets or in galleries.
The show goes on from now until April 15, 2012.
