The loud collection was praised to the heavens by the media. This comes just weeks after his show, Salon 3, staged in-of all places-Detroit. Daniel Lee, as you have probably heard by now, is leaving Bottega Veneta. But when a designer, credited for reviving an unexciting house, leaves after just three years into his buzzy tenure, it’s hard to say if the leaving will do the the brand any good. We know that in fashion, it’s the coming and going that keeps the business in momentum. The intrecciato weave in the Bottega Green. KAWS:Holiday Singapore opens at 2pm and closes at 9pm. Perhaps, Companion is an image of our modern selves: all plastic and hot air. In both the physical and digital world, clever fakeness and artful contrivance come together to hold sway over us.

Is he hiding his unhappiness-even tears-from us, keeping us away from his eyes, the windows to his soul? When we did finally see him up-close, he quietly reminded us of the very surface-only world we are inhabiting the artificial and the artifice. Distressed? His eyes are a pair of Xs, as if crossed out, or cancelled. Yet, to us, Companion does not appear to be jolly even if in other settings he seems to be clowning. It is often said that the KAWS sculpture is a figure of our age, a personification of the Mickey in us all. Was it an absolutely necessary action on the part of those who filed the court papers? What did it suggest about the future of staging world-class exhibitions here? Hitherto, not many people know what truly happened last weekend that led to the initial closure of the seemingly harmless display. But who would have known that even the great Companion would be challenged? And of all places, on this little red dot, a barren land of art on a monumental scale his first legal obstacle after having been to half a dozen or so places around the world, sometimes floating in the sea rather than lying on dry land. The wise would say great art challenges us. And we were able to watch him without further disturbance. But Companion was destined to enjoying his spot on The Float Marina Bay.
If the organisers had taken the cross-eyed Companion and his look-alike companion down (the court order had initially demanded that the exhibition stop taking place), we may not be able to benefit from a re-installation. Today is the last day of the eight-day display, and a lie-down defiance against an injunction issued against it.
Before we could caw KAWS, the blow-up doll basking in the blazing sun shall be no more. For almost the whole of last weekend, we thought that the most hyped exhibition on this island of the pandemic years was not happening.
