Do you remember sometime back, I brought my kids to The Art Garden exhibition at The Singapore Art Museum? It was there we first met Walter, the bunny. =)
For those of you who wished you had caught Walter at SAM but didn’t have a chance to do so, good news! Walter will be hopping over to Marina Bay City Gallery this weekend on 17-18 Sep 2011. Join him at the various activities happening during the month including a photo exhibition featuring all the interesting spots he has visited in Singapore, a colouring competition, story-telling sessions, a mobile library on rabbits, a picnic and lots more!
Walter is local artist Dawn Ng‟s pet project involving guerrilla installations of a curious colossal bunny who pops up across Singapore‟s standard landscape of flats and heartland enclaves. By using Walter to create and photograph scenarios packed with surprise and wonder, Dawn draws attention to commonly overlooked and over familiar spaces across our landscape, while dodging cops and people with no sense of humour. Walter is a celebration of our ordinary by helping us look at this city as children again. Now I think that’s an awesome angle – We all need to see the world through the eyes of children from time to time, to have a renewed appreciation of the world around us. =D
Now, I heard that HP will be collaborating with Marina Bay for this event, by setting up a HP photo booth with HP ePrint-enabled printers. The ePrint technology allows users to take a quick photo on the spot with Walter, email it to the ePrint-enabled printer via their smartphones, and get instant printouts! HP will also be providing complimentary printouts for the first 200 customers daily. So bring your children there early!
If you are one of those planning to buy a HP printer for your family, this event will be an excellent time for you to check out their many kids-friendly features such as Sesame Street printables and kids’ activity sheets by Crayola.
The news get even better!
Visitors to the photo exhibition might be pleasantly rewarded when they visit the Marina Bay City Gallery. For two weekends running (Sept 17-18 and Sept 24-25), visitors simply have to ‘check-in’ to “Marina Bay City Gallery” upon arrival to either Facebook Places or Foursquare, leave a comment or a photo and stand a chance to win a prize in an instant lucky draw. Present the ‘check-in’ post at the gallery reception and automatically be in the running to win one of 50 prizes, which includes two HP Photosmart Wireless B110a printers (worth $199 each) as well as Walter & Marina Bay memorabilia.
In addition, for photography enthusiasts, simply upload a photo taken with Walter to the Marina Bay Singapore‟s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/marinabaysg), with an interesting caption by October 2. The photo with the most “Likes” will win a HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer (worth $369), and the top three photos with the most interesting captions will win Walter merchandise. That’s a lot of opportunities to win home your favourite HP printer, I say!
I’ve been using my HP ENVY for a few months now, and I must say I am very happy with it. The print quality has been amazing, and best of all, it provides me with the convenience of ePrint. It’s really such a worthy investment for a home. =)
Hop over to Marina Bay City Gallery this weekend, and you might just be one of those who will bring home a gorgeous and useful printer!
