My art exhibition on the death penalty, CAPITAL has an opening reception at 7pm, 21 May (next Saturday) and I would love it if you all could attend.
Brief info: In this exhibition entitled, 'CAPITAL', Seelan Palay & Shikin Ali apply a new visual ensemble to explore ideas of crime and punishment, social and political constructs, and humanitarian values that hang in the balance.
I would really appreciate if you could help me get the word out about this event and bring along your friends and family.
Here is the Facebook event link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=171070486284587
Thank you very much everyone,
Seelan Palay

If the law isn't fair, then I won't support the law, man.
*big u.s. states like new york, florida & california have the dealth penalty, bloke.
Big US states like NY may have the death penalty, but the whole of Philippines which has a much higher population doesn't have it. Just because some US states have it doesn't make the executions of others elsewhere in the world justified - especially if they are wrongfully killed.
The global trend is towards the abolition of the death penalty.
You could read up more on the Amnesty International website: http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ACT50/010/2007/en/f45ed09c-d3a2-11dd-a329-2f46302a8cc6/act500102007en.html
It is about ISA and a secret prison to detain people. The video featuring 'drains' is also used by Mas Selamat to escape. Artist also mentioned that the Govt took away peoples' land by the sea and thus Singaporeans are lost and disconnected.
Overall an Interesting video but Todays Online report did not mention the real intention of the artis as usual. Check it out below:
