SUMMARY:The Forest Listens\, Their Spirits Cry
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Gab Mejia (Philippines)\nRecipient of the 7th Objectifs Documentary Award\, Open Category\nCurated by Goh Sze Ying \n4 Apr to 18 May 2025\nChapel Gallery\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nOpening | 4 Apr 2025\, 12pm – 7pm \nNature and Spirit: An Artist Talk with Gab Mejia\nSat 5 Apr 2025\, 2.30pm – 3.30pm | Objectifs Workshop Space (Register here) \n\nRevered as healers\, warriors\, and teachers\, the Baylans of the Talaandig-Manobo have long been guardians of the sacred forests of Mount Kaluntungan in the southern Philippine province of Bukidnon\, threatened by an encroaching industrial pace since the Spanish and American colonial period. For the Baylans\, the forest is a sacred site—a portal\, a threshold. Nature and spirit abide in the Talaandig-Manobo narrative.\nGab Mejia pays homage to this verdant landscape and its people by directing our attention to the queer kinship of two central figures: a head spiritual leader Datu Arayan\, and a Baylan initiate and youth leader Krystahl Guina. A new generation of Baylans\, they are also members of the Kulahi Pangantucan Performing Arts Group—storytellers\, performers\, protectors of indigenous heritage. Mejia’s dreamlike portraits animate Datu and Krystal’s deep\, unspoken spiritual connection with their land\, home\, and family amidst the quiet domesticity of their daily rhythms. \nThe Forest Listens\, Their Spirits Cry speaks of a desire to pollinate a dream of a future belonging otherwise. \nPresented by Objectifs and supported by the Truthseeker Foundation. \n\nAbout the Artist \nGab Mejia (he/they) is a queer Filipino photographer\, multidisciplinary artist\, and environmental engineer. Born and raised in the Philippine archipelago\, his work unveils the threads of the climate crisis\, biodiversity loss\, ancestral knowledge\, cosmologies\, and cultural interconnections to confront our socio-political and ecological crises. \nMejia is a National Geographic Explorer\, Climate Pledge Global Storyteller\, Fellow in the International League of Conservation Photographers and 2019 Jackson Wild Media Lab Fellow. His work has appeared in National Geographic\, BBC\, CNN\, ArtPartner\, Vogue\, United Nations\, Manila Times\, Fotografiska Shanghai\, Photo London and TEDx talks amongst other publications and platforms. He is a Board of Trustee for the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines. \nAbout the Curator \nGoh Sze Ying is Curator at National Gallery Singapore. At the Gallery\, she contributes to the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery long-term display\, Between Declarations and Dreams: Art of Southeast Asia since the 19th century. More recently\, she worked on exhibitions including Living Pictures: Photography in Southeast Asia (2022)\, Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia (2022)\, and Something New Must Turn Up (2020). In 2019\, she co-curated the sixth edition of the Singapore Biennale\, Every Step in the Right Direction. \nAbout the Objectifs Documentary Award \nThe Objectifs Documentary Award champions Objectifs’ mission to broaden perspectives through image making\, by supporting original voices in visual storytelling in Singapore and the wider region.

SUMMARY:Tubig Alat (Salt Water)
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Geela Garcia (Philippines)\nRecipient of the 7th Objectifs Documentary Award\, Emerging Category\nMentored by Jessica Lim \n4 April to 18 May 2025\nLower Gallery 1\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nOpening | 4 Apr 2025\, 12pm – 7pm \nAll life depends on Salt: An Artist talk with Geela Garcia\nSat 5 Apr 2025\, 4pm – 5pm | Objectifs Workshop Space (register here) \nSmoke blankets the room where Emma Ganila has been scooping brine into an assembly line of tin cans. As salt water boils and evaporates in the tins\, blocks of white salt form. Emma has been making Tultul\, an artisanal salt only found on Guimaras island. \nOn Iloilo\, an island right across Emma’s\, Lorlie Noblezada watches her son\, John\, face strong breaking waves as he collects seawater with a bamboo pole to start the process of making Budbud salt. \nEmma and Lorlie are some of the last artisanal saltmakers in the Philippines. Both have been safekeeping traditional saltmaking processes for decades. However\, this craft is in fast decline. \nDespite a long history of saltmaking\, the Philippines\, an archipelago with the fifth-longest coastline in the world\, has not produced enough salt for its own needs for the past 15 years. The country has some of the rarest salts in the world\, including Tultul and Budbud\, and it only needs to ultilise six percent of its coastline to be self-sufficient in salt. But local salts are on the brink of extinction due to unsupportive policies\, industry neglect\, and climate change. \nThe process of making artisanal salt is time-consuming and laborious\, but still\, Emma\, at 74\, spends her day inside the warm and smoky production house to cook blocks of Tultul salt; Lorlie assesses the seasons and checks if the skies are clear to schedule production of Budbud salt. For these matriarchs\, this craft\, as much as it is a livelihood\, is what binds their families’ day-to-day living. \nAll life depends on salt. \nPresented by Objectifs \nSupported by the Truthseeker Foundation \n______ \nAbout the artist \nGeela Garcia is a Filipino photographer and multimedia journalist based in Manila\, Philippines. Her photographic work\, which documents stories of women\, food sovereignty\, and the environment\, aims to write history from the experience of its makers. \nShe received the Seed Award from the Prince Claus Fund in 2023 for her photojournalism work\, and is currently a Shifting Democracies Fellow at Global Press. \nGeela’s writing and photography appear on the Thomson Reuters Foundation – Context News\, South China Morning Post\, and Rappler among others. She is a member of Women Photograph and Diversify Photo Up Next. \nAbout the Mentor \nJessica Lim is currently the director of Angkor Photo Festival & Workshops (APFW)\, a non-profit association based in Cambodia. For most of her professional life\, she has worked to provide support and opportunities to visual storytellers in the majority world. Her move to Cambodia built on her previous experience with Drik Picture Library in Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, a media organisation dedicated to advocating for social equality\, where she served as a news and photo editor and photographer liaison. She majored in journalism and graduated from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore in 2006. \nJessica is currently based in Siem Reap\, Cambodia\, where on any given day there is a good chance of meeting water buffalos. \n_____ \nAbout the Objectifs Documentary Award \nThe Objectifs Documentary Award champions Objectifs’ mission to broaden perspectives through image making\, by supporting original voices in visual storytelling in Singapore and the wider region.

SUMMARY:Mattude
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Aziziah Diah Aprilya (Indonesia)\nRecipient of the 7th Objectifs Documentary Award\, Emerging Category\nMentored by Jessica Lim\n4 April to 18 May 2025\nLower Gallery 2\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nOpening | 4 Apr 2025\, 12pm – 7pm \nArtist Talk: Aziziah Diah Aprilya – Collecting the Clams\nSat 5 Apr 2025\, 1pm – 2pm | Objectifs Workshop Space (register here) \nMattude is a project where I document the effects of reclamation projects along the coast of Makassar\, my hometown in South Sulawesi in Indonesia. Mattude – a local term which means “collecting the clams” – has also come to represent my way of collecting and sharing stories about the resilience of the coastal women of Makassar. \nThe Makassar city government’s reclamation plans echoes similar developments throughout Indonesia. Reclamation in Makassar started in the late 1990s with road construction\, then housing areas\, flats\, hotels\, malls\, a new port\, and more. To date\, 209 hectares of land have been reclaimed\, and it is expected that thousands more hectares will be created along the west and north of Makassar’s coastline. The Makassar City Spatial Plan anticipates that reclamation will expand 26% of the city area. \nBefore reclamation began\, the coast of Makassar was a lively fishing community where people could get various types of fish\, clams and crabs. For the coastal women\, the sea was a means of livelihood\, a shared social space\, a playground for their children\, and a sacred place for rituals. \nAccording to indigenous coastal beliefs\, ancestors are thought to live in the water in various forms. There are crocodiles\, snakes\, dolphins\, fish\, centipedes\, they say. In Bugis and Makassar culture\, many still believe that each person has twin crocodiles. We call these ancestors ‘Nene’ or grandmother. During certain celebrations\, offerings must be lowered into the sea or river as a sign of gratitude to the grandmother\, ancestors\, and nature. These rituals are said to prevent bad luck and disaster\, and are led by women. \nAs reclamation continues\, the livelihoods and practices of coastal communities have come increasingly under threat. They have lost touch with coastal creatures and tide changes. They are losing their physical and spiritual relationship to the sea. \nSince 2017\, the coastal women of Makassar have gathered as a means of survival and resistance. They organize protests against the reclamation\, and find other ways of making a living. As the excavators reclaim the coast\, these women seek to reclaim their own narratives. \nPresented by Objectifs \nSupported by the Truthseeker Foundation \n___ \nAbout the Artist \nAziziah Diah Aprilya (b.1997)\, also known as Zizi\, is an Indonesian photographer\, writer\, and art and cultural practitioner based in Makassar\, South Sulawesi. Her works often explore environmental\, social-cultural\, and women issues\, and she is also interested in stories about food\, rituals\, and mythologies. Zizi’s work has been exhibited in Jakarta\, Solo\, Yogyakarta\, and Makassar\, and she recently published her first photobook\, Got Your Back (SOKONG! Publisher\, 2024). \nIn Makassar\, she works closely with urban studies collective\, art communities\, and literacy groups. Zizi is part of Diversify Photo and Women Photograph and is frequently involved in film production as a still and behind-the-scenes photographer. \nAbout the Mentor \nJessica Lim is currently the director of Angkor Photo Festival & Workshops (APFW)\, a non-profit association based in Cambodia.

SUMMARY:Queering the Play: A Very Specific Timeline from One Gay Jew
DESCRIPTION:What makes a play queer? Must it feature primarily queer characters? Does it necessarily centre on timeless queer narratives— coming out\, oppression\, political change? Or is it enough that the play\, like all queers\, tries to find a new way of seeing and being in the world— a play that builds theatrical worlds that resist orthodoxy\, authority\, and received binaries? Join visiting Writer in Residence Sean Dunnington in conversation with playwright Joel Tan as they pry open these questions\, featuring readings from Sean’s plays that reflect the shifting sensibilities and approaches to queerness in his work over the years.

SUMMARY:TOOLS: A Workshop Series for Playwrights Exploring Theatricality - Magic Props
DESCRIPTION:This workshop investigates the remapping process\, where one thing stands in for another and real-world elements correspond with their stage-space equivalents. What happens when a stick becomes a gun or a house is described as an imaginary zone? We’ll examine the audience’s role in recognizing these substitutions and experiment with how to teach them to understand the play. \nThis is part of a workshop series by our visiting resident playwright Sean Dunnington. It invites playwrights to be curious about theatricality. Each session dives into a specific element of this conceptual spell\, blending discussion\, hands-on activities\, performance\, and experimentation.

SUMMARY:Urban Screens: Dancing Alone (Don’t Leave Me)
DESCRIPTION:A video art showcase by Susie Wong \n17 to 26 Jan 2025\nVenues: Digital billboard at Fortune Centre and Digital billboard at Wilkie Edge \nDancing Alone (Don’t Leave Me) is a series of onscreen vignettes of solitary women dancing by themselves\, for themselves. The work is inspired by a scene from the film\, The King and I\, where the female protagonist says\, “No woman would dance alone when a man is looking at her.” In Wong’s work\, the dancer is both the centre of attention and wholly indifferent; her occupation of the screen gives momentary respite and joy. \nYet her ability to escape the gaze of others is constrained by her own longing to be seen. Exaggerated by a highly visible medium\, these strange tensions speak of Wong’s long term preoccupation with romance and agency in relation to cinematic tropes\, and the complex negotiations that ensue. \nThis work is curated for Urban Screens\, which is presented by Objectifs as part of Singapore Art Week\, supported by the National Arts Council and Plan B Media. \nAbout Susie Wong \nSusie Wong is an artist\, curator\, educator and art writer in Singapore. She studied painting at the former LASALLE College of the Arts (St. Patrick’s Fine Arts) in the mid-1980s\, and pursued her Master of Fine Arts at LASALLE in 2007.

Comprising an exhibition and a series of informal gatherings\, the project approaches curatorial work of care as a means of revealing and understanding the often-invisible labours of artistic production. Transforming Objectifs’ Chapel Gallery into a shared\, psychological artists’ studio\, the exhibition synthesises four propositions on care by artists Hu Rui\, Genevieve Leong\, Huijun Lu\, and Arabelle Zhuang. The informal gatherings aim to broaden and deepen the discourse\, probing the values encoded in our words and actions. Featuring programmes such as a dialogue with artist Ezzam Rahman and open studios\, these gatherings create a space to imagine how we might journey together sustainably\, thriving within—and beyond—Singapore’s pursuit of excellence. \n— \nAbout the Curator\nLenette Lua is a practice-led researcher and curator whose interests delve into reconciling the contested intersections of political\, economic\, and socio-cultural spheres through her curatorial work. While at the Royal College of Art in London\, she initiated the long-term curatorial project ‘Fungi Initiative\,’ exploring institutional collaborations via participatory artist-led workshops. She was the recipient of the Objectifs Curator Open Call 2024 Award. \nAbout the Artists \nArabelle Zhuang is an interdisciplinary artist working across photography\, moving images and textiles. In her practice\, Zhuang examines the interpersonal relationship\, beauty in the peripheral and the cyclical nature of being. She is interested in developing narratives that search for the multiplicities of everyday life and the layers in between. \nEzzam Rahman is a multi-disciplinary artist known for his interest in the body and the use of common\, easily accessible\, yet unconventional media in his art practice. Working across sculpture\, installation\, digital media\, and performance\, he creates works that are often autobiographical\, time-based\, and ephemeral\, aiming to pique viewers’ thoughts on the themes of body politics\, identity\, impermanence\, traces\, and abjection. He was awarded a joint winner of the Grand Prize for the President’s Young Talents 2015 and the People’s Choice Award by the Singapore Art Museum. Ezzam won the Most Promising Award for photography at the PULSE Awards 2021. He served as artistic director for The Substation in 2021 and was involved in various prestigious programmes\, including the NIE Visiting Artist Programme and NAC Our SG Arts Plan launch event. \nGenevieve Leong‘s art practice attempts to visualise the intangible. Beginning with the immaterial\, her work often combines text\, image\, found and made objects and the manipulation of space to create what she describes as “an almost physical image”. The installations that she creates often embody an impermanence with possibilities for change\, whether it be due to audience participation or natural environmental factors. Her work seeks to shed new light onto her emotions\, sensations\, and realisations. \nHu Rui works with videos\, installations\, and computer simulation. His practice engages with issues around temporality from a multitude of variables\, including causality\, prediction\, choice\, and language. He is the recipient of the Best Experimental Animation Award at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival and a Jury Special Mention at the 25FPS Festival Croatia. He is Assistant Professor in Computation and Design at Duke Kunshan University. \nHuijun Lu works at the intersections of art\, music\, engineering and computing. Lu’s practice culminates in kinetic installations\, sculptures\, moving images and soundscapes. Consistent in the works are mechanisms and circuits that examine the function of objects\, observations about the unnoticed in our environments\, and technology’s role in mediating relationships with our surroundings. \nAbout the designer \nVanessa Ban is a designer and educator with over a decade of experience working with cultural institutions and commercial clients. She is the founder of External Assessment Summer School\, an interdisciplinary educational initiative that bridges art\, critical theory\, and design. Vanessa has served on jury panels including D&AD and The Crowbar Awards. As an adjunct faculty\, she incorporates her professional expertise and critical design approach honed through experiences at Pentagram\, Typography Summer School New York\, and the London College of Communication.

SUMMARY:Phenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by Zen Teh and SueKi Yee \n14 Jan to 2 Mar 2025\nObjectifs Lower Galleries \nOpening: Tue 14 Jan 2025\, 7pm – 9pm\nThe opening reception will be accompanied by a performance by Sueki Yee at 7pm.\nFree admission \nRelated events\nParticipative Movement Workshop (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Sat 18 Jan 2025\, 3pm – 530pm\nWorkshop details\nSueKi’s performance: 3pm – 4pm\nSharing and movement activities: 4pm – 530pm\nLocation: Objectifs Lower Galleries\nFree admission \nPhenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth is a project extended from Zen Teh’s residency project and exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany. As part of her residency project\, she conducted walking workshops in Phnom Penh\, Bangkok and Berlin. This project idea draws on her ongoing research on our relationship with urbanity in rapidly developing cities. \nZen (visual art) and SueKi (dance) as collaborators\, are now interested in moving forward with research into Singapore’s urban context\, delving deeper into how they can explore the discourses on light and urbanity through multidisciplinary means: soundscapes\, multimedia data translation\, movement\, and tactile forms. This provides multiple entry points into the research as well as the interpretation\, creation\, and presentation of the data. Through artistic means\, they are interested in opening up a space where people can take time to process and discuss their embodied perspectives on light and darkness\, and how these ever co-existing elements are inextricably linked to life rhythms\, memories\, pollution\, urban development\, safety and surveillance\, environmental changes\, accessibility of energy\, and volatile global political states. \n— \nAbout Zen Teh\nZen Teh (b.1988\, Singapore) is an artist and educator interested in man’s relationship with the natural world. Her art practice spans photography\, sculpture and installation art. Teh has initiated collaborative interdisciplinary projects with artists\, art professionals and scientists to explore the impact of human activity on natural environments. Teh’s works have been showcased in Singapore and regionally including Thailand\, Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Korea\, Japan\, Taiwan and China. She was conferred the Young Artist Award by The National Arts Council\, Singapore in 2021. She was artist-in-residence at the International Studio Programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany in 2024. \nAbout SueKi Yee\nSueKi Yee is a Malaysian dancer-choreographer (currently based in Berlin) who’s drawn to improvisation\, site-specific work\, and multidisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. With a Bachelor in Dance (ASWARA)\, she’s trained in contemporary dance\, ballet\, and various traditional folk and classical dances. Movement has become her entry point into understanding and exploring other art forms\, providing diverse entry points into her work and expanding the horizons of research\, creation\, and presentation.

SUMMARY:The Eye and The Tiger
DESCRIPTION:Walk up to a fabled black and white bungalow nestled in a lush rolling landscape. If you think the black-and-white is about exclusivity\, you’re absolutely right. But the story is far bloodier and infinitely blacker. \nThe form and function of the black and white bungalow take after the Anglo-Indian plantation villa\, once part of a global botanical network built on lies\, violence and indentured labour. \nSpread open the map and you will see two more landmarks nearby that have been forgotten in the story of our black-and-whites: Botanic Gardens and Tiger Hill. Discover how the colonial gaze shapes our relationship to land and nature\, and how tigers have haunted us at every step. \nCome join us on this guided art walk.

SUMMARY:Déjà vu: When the Sun Rises in the West
DESCRIPTION:The Private Museum Singapore is pleased to present Déjà vu: When the Sun Rises in the West\, an evocative exhibition featuring the works of renowned Thai artist Natee Utarit. In continuation of the first exhibition at Silpakorn University in 2022 commemorating the artist’s return to his alma mater\, this historic exhibition now journeys to Singapore\, bringing with it a new myriad of selections from local and regional private collections. \nInitiated in 2019\, the Déjà vu series proposes an alternative interpretation of history by reframing Western classical knowledge alongside Eastern and Buddhist concepts. This exhibition presents a hypothesis of a reimagined space and time\, encouraging the audience to consider scenarios of “what if”—how different historical events might have altered our socio-cultural present. The Déjà vdu series draws inspiration from the artist’s experience in Naples\, where a chance encounter with a marble sculpture at the Museo Archeologico sparked a profound connection. This moment of Déjà vu merged memories of Thailand’s Walking Buddha with the classical Western figure\, leading the artist to probe further into the intersections between Eastern and Western cultures. \nNatee Utarit’s exploration through the series is deeply personal\, yet it resonates with universal themes of memory\, identity\, and culture. Through a diverse array of mediums—including painting\, sculpture\, embroidery\, stained glass\, and woodcut—the works serve as a reminder that history is not linear\, but cyclical; that the past\, present\, and future are constantly intertwined in ways that shape our perceptions of the world. By challenging the boundaries of historical plausibility\, the exhibition offers viewers a space to consider the possibilities that emerge when traditional narratives are turned on their heads\, symbolically represented by the paradoxical notion of the sun rising in the west. \nDéjà vu: When the Sun Rises in the West is the final instalment of The Private Museum’s 2024 programming—offering a fitting closure to a year of diverse artistic and cultural exploration. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Richard Koh Fine Art.

SUMMARY:The Intimate Salon: YS Tang Classical Guitar Recital
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished Malaysian Classical Guitarist YS Tang Makes Debut in Singapore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYS Tang\, a distinguished figure in Malaysia’s classical music landscape\, is poised to captivate Singapore’s music enthusiasts with his debut performance on October 12\, 2024 at MusArt Concert Hall at Raeburn Park. The Singapore leg is part of his highly anticipated 2024 tour that includes performances in Kuala Lumpur\, Muar\, Yong Peng\, Melaka\, Alor Setar\, and Penang. \nFor his Singapore debut\, Tang will deliver a thoughtfully-curated programme that draws from both European and South American traditions\, featuring works from Johann Sebastian Bach\, Spanish composers\, and Brazilian guitar music. Tang views the concert as an homage to the historical ‘salon-style’ performances that date back to the 19th century. \nHe says: “I’ve structured this performance to echo the intimate musical gatherings made famous by composers like Franz Schubert and Francisco Tárrega. It’s about bringing the audience closer to the music in a way that transcends grand venues.” \nA graduate of Texas Tech University with a Master’s degree in Music Performance\, Tang\, who hails from Kuala Lumpur\, has over 25 years of experience. The artist has continuously expanded the reach of classical music through concerts\, public seminars\, and youth outreach initiatives. Tang is also a dedicated collaborator\, performing with chamber ensembles and focusing on early music\, and a vast repertoire that spans from Bach to Barrios. \n\n\n\n\nTang’s Singapore debut is more than a recital; it is a celebration of classical music’s ability to connect people across generations and geographies. Audiences can expect not only technical brilliance but also a deeply immersive experience that highlights Tang’s commitment to the classical guitar as both an art form and a medium for storytelling.

SUMMARY:[Collected on Paper] Occasion #1: Time Capsules
DESCRIPTION:A book showcase initiated by Hong Shu-ying \n14 Sep to 21 Dec 2024\nObjectifs Library\nFree admission \nRelated events\nBook Sharing (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Wed 2 Oct\, 7.30pm – 9pm\nLocation: Objectifs Workshop Space\nFree admission \nBook Club #1: Time Capsules (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Thu 14 Nov\, 7.30pm – 9pm\nLocation: Objectifs Annexe\nFree admission \nPREMISE \n“[collected on paper] has a simple premise. It intends to combine: \n\nthe magic of hearing an artist or bookmaker share about their process\, and\nthe luxury of time and comfort when reading in a library.\n\nAn art book is a curious object—it’s an artwork you can touch and carry around. It can have pictures and texts\, or many pictures and no text\, or even texts and no pictures. \nArt books afford a private space and mode of encounter that can be revisited freely and repeatedly. While I love the conversations surrounding books and their makers at an art fair\, it’s an awfully extroverted endeavour. [collected on paper] offers a chance to explore different art books and the creators’ thoughts in an intimate setting\, with notes on their processes and materials.” \nMODE \nA selection of books will be presented alongside a book club under a particular idea on each occasion. The showcase is held within an existing art book library\, allowing the books to be encountered in the context of other art books. \nThe first occasion will reflect on the idea of time capsules. On this occasion\, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves: \n\nmost of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.\nthese images\, like most in books\, gain additional readings over time\, but they also become irreplicable\, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.\n\n[collected on paper] is co-programmed by Hong Shu-ying and Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film. \n\nOccasion #1: Time Capsules  \nA time capsule is a container where things are well-kept and protected from the elements. I’ve always found it fascinating that everyday objects can become archived and emblematic of their era once they are placed in a time capsule. These items aren’t necessarily exclusive or rare but serve as a snapshot of what the capsule’s creator valued at that moment. The very existence of a time capsule implies that care and resources have been dedicated to preserving these objects. \nOn this occasion\, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves: \n\nmost of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.\nthese images\, like most in books\, gain additional readings over time\, but they also become irreplicable\, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.\n\nBooks Featured 📚📚📚 \n\nAparna Nori – 24 Slides\nGeorge Wong – Wallet\nLai Yu Tong – Things I Bought\, Things I Threw Away\, Things I Ate\, Things I Saw\, Things I Made\, and Other Things (For Future Reference)\nLou / Atelier HOKO – Spider & Man\n\n\nAbout Hong Shu-ying \nHong Shu-ying 方舒颖 is an artist who collects and works with found images and materials. She recontextualises familiar sights and sounds to highlight patterns\, repetitions\, and contradictions related to inheritance and ways of learning. \nHer recent projects delve into informal archives\, which act like personal and communal time capsules that encapsulate the banalities and peculiarities of life. These include handwritten elements found in scores and annotations\, alongside amateur videos and images. This fascination is informed by her experiences growing up in amateur Chinese orchestras and the internet. \nShu holds a BFA (Hons) in Media Art (Photography) from Nanyang Technological University\, School of Art\, Design\, and Media. She was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography and featured in the 6th Women in Film and Photography Showcase by Objectifs (Singapore). Recently\, she had her first solo presentation at Esplanade (Singapore) as part of the Singapore Art Week 2024. She has participated in exhibitions\, showcases\, and festivals internationally\, including in Austria\, Cambodia\, China\, Germany\, Indonesia\, Italy\, Malaysia\, the Netherlands\, South Korea\, Taiwan\, and Thailand.

SUMMARY:Subconscious
DESCRIPTION:Subconscious is Betty Goh’s long term project about the introspective reflections of her soul and subconscious. \nGrowing up in the heart of Singapore\, the adrenaline rush and vibrancy of this busy city excites her. At the same time\, she feels an amount of unspoken loneliness\, tension and dilemma hidden beneath the surface. These overlapping and complex emotions are often expressed through Betty’s subconscious during her daily street walks and hence\, the result of her visual poetry. \nThrough her unique use of reflections\, shadows\, silhouettes\, long exposure\, lines\, shapes and spaces\, Betty captures the subtle psychological aspects of a busy urban street life. While her work exudes a sense of mystery\, imagination and surrealism\, all her street work is un-posed and un-staged\, captured within a single exposure\, and with zero or minimal edits. Majority of the photos in this exhibition were shot on the streets of Singapore and some were captured in Tokyo. As a keen Leica camera user\, Betty has been using the Leica Q2 and Leica Q3 cameras to capture her work. \nCome visit this exhibition to celebrate Betty’s passion for abstract street photography. \nThis exhibition is supported by Objectifs Centre for Photography & Film and Leica Singapore.

Part of “Waterloo Street Stories 2024: Interplay” and Centre 42’s 10th Anniversary celebrations\, this event celebrates the rich histories and communities of Waterloo Street. \nWaterloo Street represents Singapore’s diverse heritage\, and Cor Machina explores the connections between communities and the arts\, symbolised by the typewriter as a relic with the poet as its beating heart. The typewriter’s mechanical clatter echoes modern life’s relentless grind\, yet within this noise\, there is beauty—a reminder that even in the machine\, the human heart creates with hope. \nCor Machina captures this playfully\, by inviting participants to explore these themes through creation. Audiences first enter an installation of pre-made prompts that draws from personal\, communal memories and stories of the street. They’re invited to send in an order for a poem to the Proletariat Poetry Factory\, which becomes a meta memory machine. Poets\, musicians\, and artists create new memories and stories from their inputs\, blending them with the street’s past. \nThe work evokes collective remembrance and celebrates the street’s heritage in a contemporary context. The intent is to spark meaningful conversations\, weaving together past and present\, individual and collective experience. This performance is also in conjunction with Centre 42’s 10th Anniversary\, serving to commemorate our placemaking and memory making on Waterloo Street.

SUMMARY:Silent Dialogues - Solo Exhibition by Aryan Arora
DESCRIPTION:MAVEN IRA IS THRILLED TO INVITE YOU TO A PRIVATE VIEWING OF ‘SILENT DIALOGUES’\, A CAPTIVATING SOLO EXHIBITION BY ARYAN ARORA. \nTHIS SERIES OF 15 MONOCHROMATIC PAINTINGS EXPLORES THE DUALITY OF BLACK AND WHITE\, WITH ONLY TWO GRACED BY COLOUR. THE ARTWORKS DELVE INTO THE THEME OF MASKS THAT PEOPLE WEAR UNKNOWINGLY\, EVEN ALONE. EACH ARTWORK IS A THOUGHTFUL DIALOGUE\, A SILENT PLEA THAT ECHOES THE SENTIMENT\, “SOMEBODY SAVE ME\, ME FROM MYSELF.” \n  \nJOIN US FOR THE OPENING NIGHT \nDATE : 30 August 2024 \nTIME : 6:30 to 9:00 PM \nLOCATION :EL PICO\, 6 Hongkong St\, Singapore 059649 \nAbout The Artist \nAryan Arora (b. 1999)\, born in Saharanpur\, India\, is a visual and performance artist currently rooted in Singapore. Graduating from Lasalle College of the Arts\, Singapore\, and holding a degree in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University in the United Kingdom\, Aryan delves into the realms of societal norms and personal introspection through his artistry. \nRejecting the constraints imposed by societal ideals\, Aryan’s creative journey is a relentless exploration of individual expression. With a focus on challenging taboos entrenched in contemporary culture\, he employs various mediums to amplify voices often silenced or marginalized. \nAryan’s canvas extends beyond conventional boundaries\, with bodies serving as both medium and message. Through mediums like body painting and his provocative honey dipping series\, he confronts societal taboos associated with the human form. The choice of honey as a recurring motif in his work symbolizes preservation and protection\, with its timeless essence serving as a metaphor for the desire to shield oneself and others from insecurities and vulnerabilities. \nHis past works have been prominently displayed at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore\, Art Outreach Singapore\, Visual Arts Gallery Singapore\, The Substation Gallery\, Google Headquarters Singapore\, Mumbai International Airport India\, and many more. \nIn addition to his intimate explorations\, Aryan’s artistry spills onto walls as murals and graffiti\, echoing his commitment to unraveling the complexities of societal constructs. \nFor Aryan\, art is not just a form of expression; it’s a potent tool for communication\, commentary\, and catharsis. His work resonates with a yearning for authenticity and healing in a world often shrouded in masks. In every stroke and performance\, Aryan Arora emerges as a steadfast advocate for the liberation of the true self\, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing through art. \nThis exclusive event offers an opportunity to experience Aryan Arora’s thought-provoking works in an intimate setting. \n

SUMMARY:Sisa Bilang Manlilikha: Final Run
DESCRIPTION:An experimental performance built from the first The Sisa Prize\, a writing prize for young Filipino women writers\, Sisa Bilang Manlilikha (Sisa as Creator) is also the sixth variation on the character of Sisa\, as reconfigured and reimagined by Carlo Paulo Pacolor from the archetypal character of the crazy woman in National Hero Jose Rizal’s novel Noli Me Tangere. The variations rethink\, and re-engage in conversations about womanhood across Philippine history and local contexts\, with this sixth variation drawing from the woman as creator in the present\, and the push and pull between personal creative impulses and the roles she must fulfil\, the performances she needs to put up\, for the institutions and communities she is part of.  \nSisa Bilang Manlilikha\, sisa sa ika-anim (Sisa as Creator\, Sisa at the sixth)\, is by Carlo Paulo Pacolor and Katrina Stuart Santiago\, performed by Serena Magiliw.  \nThis is the second and final ticketed run of the performance.
