SUMMARY:Rattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest by Zen Teh
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Rattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest\, a newly commissioned artwork by Singaporean artist Zen Teh. This installation is part of Port/raits of Tanjong Pagar\, a public art trail by The Everyday Museum that brings artistic perspectives into everyday spaces in the Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood. It joins other works on the trail by five other artists Aki Hassan\, Divaagar\, Space Objekt\, Grace Tan and Isabella Teng. \nNestled in a tranquil\, lush corner of Spottiswoode Park\, Rattan Eco Sprawl is crafted primarily from rattan\, with forms inspired by natural elements such as mountains and mounds where insects dwell — the same formations that have also influenced sacred structures like Cambodia’s Angkor Wat. Live plants encroach on the structure’s exterior\, while the interior of the work\, with its lowered ceilings and narrowed passageways resembles a space where the natural world can be contemplated and nurtured.  \nSet against the backdrop of Singapore’s rapidly changing urban landscape\, Rattan Eco Sprawl reflects on the entanglement of nature and urban development. Through collaborating with rattan and wood artisans\, an ecologist\, and study of the local environments\, Rattan Eco Sprawl highlights our fragile\, intertwined relationship with nature. \nIn conjunction with the launch of the work on 6 October 2024\, a special artist talk will take place on the same day at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. The programme features a short film screening on the making of the work and a talk by artist Zen Teh who will discuss her interdisciplinary approach. Also present are the key collaborators of the work — the rattan artisans from Cambodia. Participants will have a chance to learn from the artisans\, weaving techniques used to create the installation. Registration is free.  \nRattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest is commissioned by The Everyday Museum\, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Batik Nyonyas: Three Generations of Art and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:11 October 2024 to 31 August 2025 \nDaily\, 10am–7pm | Fridays\, 10am–9pm \nPeranakan Museum \n$6 for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents; $18 for Foreigners \nFamily\, art\, and entrepreneurship converge in the story of three visionary Peranakan women from Indonesia – Nyonya Oeij Soen King\, her daughter-in-law Nyonya Oeij Kok Sing\, and her granddaughter Jane Hendromartono. From the 1890s to 1980s\, they produced impressive batiks in the renowned batik centre of Pekalongan on Java’s north coast. \nFeaturing about 200 batik textiles and accompanying objects\, Batik Nyonyas: Three Generations of Art and Entrepreneurship examines the lives and careers of these Peranakan women through their works. With batik as a portrait of society\, the exhibition reveals the influence of the Oeij family women as they became batik masters in their own right\, as they ingeniously responded to the rapid political\, cultural and economic changes of their time to run a business that produced great art. Visitors are invited to draw links to the development and evolution of Indonesian batik through a Peranakan perspective\, and to participate in hands-on workshops\, performances and tours. The exhibition will also feature a contemporary art commission by Aiko Tezuka\, an artist specialised in producing art based on the unravelling of woven fabric.

SUMMARY:Heman Chong: This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum proudly presents Heman Chong: This is a dynamic list and may never be\nable to satisfy particular standards for completeness\, the first major survey exhibition by prolific\nmultifaceted artist Heman Chong. Appropriated from Wikipedia’s defining terms and conditions related\nto the ever-changing nature of its online lists\, the title announces its intentions from the get-go. The\nexhibition reflects and extends canonical works in his oeuvre to invite fresh perspectives on their\nmeaning and relevance today.\nBringing together over 50 artworks and new commissions from the early 2000s to the present\, the\nexhibition examines Chong’s (post)conceptual strategies and gestures\, expressed through works that\nmove through and between image\, text\, performance and situations. Across nine thematic rooms\,\nvisitors will experience how Chong employs everyday\, commonplace objects and scenarios\, from name\ncards\, to books\, newspapers\, and photographs of public-accessible spaces\, to confront contemporary\ngeopolitics and the infrastructural ironies of our data-driven and networked society — all with a dose of\nChong’s characteristic sharp wit. In a world of highly mediated landscapes where information is\nconstantly being rewritten\, the exhibition serves as a checkpoint for visitors to pause and consider how\nmeaning is made and remade.

SUMMARY:Stories of Hope – Help Someone Paint Their Story Today
DESCRIPTION:Auntie Julie’s mum was her best friend. She’d tell us how\, growing up\, her fondest memories were of the two of them devouring dumplings during their Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. \nIt’s been over ten years since Auntie Julie’s mum passed. Before that\, she had been her caregiver for years and when her mum was gone\, the rhythm of Auntie Julie’s life went with her. \nThrough art therapy\, Auntie Julie’s life was turned around when she met a community of individuals who were navigating their own personal grief\, and found in them friends who lifted her\, and who she could help uplift. She began to reconnect with herself\, with others\, and with hope. She painted\, she laughed\, and years later on\, she still greets her newfound friends every morning in their WhatsApp group chat. \nThis SG60\, we tell the stories of strength and progress like Auntie Julie. She reminds us that growth doesn’t just happen in buildings or systems\, it happens in people—and we want more people like Auntie Julie to have that chance at hope. \nJoin us as we do our part to honour the stories that don’t always make the headlines\, but deserve to be told. \nLet’s paint more stories of hope — together.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Proof: Singapore at 60
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Proof: Singapore at 60 is a landmark exhibition and deeply personal tribute to Singapore’s founding leaders\, told not through speeches or textbooks\, but through art. Over the past decade\, private collector Mr Chong Huai Seng has gathered artworks capturing Singapore’s transformation\, from nostalgic street scenes to bold contemporary takes on identity and leadership. In celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday\, this ambitious exhibition features over 90 works by more than 50 artists\, offering a fresh perspective of the Singapore story through the creative expressions of local artists from different generations. Featuring 11 new commissions by local artists and 1 brand new music piece\, the exhibition underscores Chong’s passion in supporting young artists\, seeking to inspire audiences to embrace local contemporary artists and invest in the growing potential of the future of Singapore’s arts through art collecting and patronage. \n  \nChong’s love letter to Singapore traces its journey from a struggling young nation to a global city. Scenes of Singapore’s evolving cityscape unfold through paintings and photographs\, while works inspired by Lee Kuan Yew and the founding fathers examine their legacy and impact on nation-building. The exhibition also looks inward\, questioning the relationship between artists\, the state\, and its people. \nPresented by The Culture Story and produced by Family Office For Art\, Artist’s Proof: Singapore at 60 invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to experience Singapore through the eyes of artists.
