We chat with the talented MessyMsxi, 25, on her passion for art and the important message she shares with the audience with her latest exhibition “Ten Years of Work for Every Minute on Stage”.

MessyMsxi's first solo exhibition, "Ten Years of Work for Every Minute on Stage" is a moving portrait of pain, suffering, perseverance and process - told through the eyes of young acrobats who embody a beginner's fighting spirit in the face of failure.

You'll find yourself wishing you could reach into the canvas to prevent an acrobat's fall, or nursing your own palms with empathy as you gaze at the bruises that mark theirs.

"Ten Years of Work for Every Minute on Stage" is on daily from 12noon-8.30pm until 15 April, at Old School, The Art Studio, 11B Mount Sophia.

Heading back to school for the first time in years (no need for calculators, we are forever 21), YOLO was invited to ACS (Independent) for the 2010 EDB Short Film Competition award ceremony. 

As design and prize sponsor, we were curious to see how the short films would turn out.

The afternoon began as anticipated. We expected to clap and cheer for the finalists, and we did. We expected to watch the students squirm during the grueling Q&A session by the judges, and we did.

But what came as an unexpected surprise after so many years away from school was that we learnt something very important that day. I know. Learning something new in school? Who’d have thunk it?!
