WELLNESS Pawsitive Interactive Art Exhibition 30 Sept – 8 Oct

As part of WELLNESS’s 10th anniversary celebrations in Singapore, WELLNESS Pawsitive Interactive Art Exhibition is the world’s first art exhibition for cats and dogs! Fans of WELLNESS were invited to come down to Singapore’s School Of The Arts at 1 Zubir Said Road to attend and enjoy the event with their furkids.

With local artists helping to design and create the 10 art installations, furkids were free to roam around and explore the exhibits.

For Cats

These first thing cats and their owners were treated to when entering the exhibits for cats is the DEEP SEA FISHING installation by PAYNK.

The 2nd exhibit was the RUGCATS display by Soh Ee Shaun. A collection of cat illustrations painted on bathroom rugs were placed on the wall and floor for cats to play and sleep on.

The next exhibit was a extraordinary playground for cats! IN THE CAT’S BELLY by Kelly Limerick. The installation was a huge cat-like structure where cats were able to the mouth and explore 4 themed rooms that contained items that piqued their curiosity.

The final exhibit for cats is titled HIDE & SEEK by Vertical Submarine. Inspired by the popular children’s cartoon “Tom & Jerry”, this structure allows you to play with your kitty by using a remote controlled mouse!

The next exhibit, HIS MASTER’S VOICE by Vertical Submarine puts your communication between your furkid and you to the test. Your furkid will attempt to navigate his/her way through a maze with only your voice guiding them.

The last exhibit WOOF-ROOF by Joscelin Chew was a relaxation space for both you and your furkid. This large wooden kennel played a 30 minute soundtrack filled with barking sounds, songs and human voices to produce a different dimension to the space.
