A creative showcase to celebrate Singapore's 50th anniversary celebrations through the creative scene. In 2015 it visits Beijing, London, New York and then Singapore.
In June 2015 it was held in the old Truman brewery in Brick Lane, east London.
Brick Lane is famous for its Bangladeshi and Indian curry houses. It was my first visit to this part of London. There were plenty of signs to show the way.
Have to admit the displays were too 'arty' for me and there wasn't a great deal to see. This display caught my attention, a 'tree' of laboratory glassware with clamp stands producing 'music' by hitting the glassware.

This piece of edible art by chef Janice Wong was my favourite part. A painted ceiling drilled with 2000 holes and chocolate lollipops filled with pork and poprocks, laksa, and kaffir hang from the holes waiting for the visitors to eat. There were also chocolates filled with kaya and chilli. Even the walls of the room were streaked with chocolate. Yummy!
Then it was time for lunch. As there was no food at the exhibition I left to check out Brick Lane.
