    Displacements – Goodbye Forever

    I am sure many of us have, in our lives so far, encounter departures of loved ones, treasured objects, shifting locations, or simply having to say goodbye, quite reluctantly.

    The house at 13 Wilkie Terrace has stood in the same location for 77 years now, will be saying goodbye to the Chia family who have lived there all these while. It is a bittersweet goodbye. It is an old, old house, with most of the original features (doors, windows, tiles, paint, toilets, etc.) still intact, very much used and treasured by the family. The house holds precious memories for the family, and instead of just packing up and moving on, some members of the family decided to share this experience and story with everyone.

    "TETRAPHILIA" By Nadim Abbas

    What IS a tetra? To the unenlightened, it is a small tropical freshwater fish that is typically brightly coloured. It is native to Africa and America and is a popular aquarium fish. Its Greek origin, tettares also means four. And in chemistry, it relates to compounds containing four atoms or groups of a specific kind like tetracycline. This is erudite stuff.

    The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès’s new exhibition at their Third Floor space in Liat Towers is literally a smorgasbord of tetra-themed objets d’art. (more…)
