SUMMARY:Sound Plot: True/South\, A Collection of Audio Plays
DESCRIPTION:𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁: 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲/𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 is a collection of audio plays responding to the geographical area of Tanjong Pagar/Pasir Panjang where the Singapore Art Museum currently resides. With audio design by Artwave Studio\, the plays first premiered as part of Singapore Art Week\, each with an audio spot installation at the museum and now available online as well. \nThe three short audio plays (of which the latter 2 were selected through our Open Call) are: \nSea Song  \nAdvisory: Contains some coarse language \nLaurie and Scott settle into their new expatriate lives at Sentosa Cove only to discover that not all is as it seems. Beneath the ostentatious luxuries of modern Singapore lie the sea and the land seething in their grief; and as Laurie’s connection to them grows she discovers that this loss is collective and communal. \nPlaywright: Joel Tan\nDirector: Cherilyn Woo\nActors: Julie Wee\, Daniel Jenkins\, Ching Shu Yi\, Serene Chen\, Tysha Khan\, Irsyad Dawood\, Joel Tan \nGhazal of the Banana Tree’s Heart \n\n\nA solitary banana tree remains on the shore\, the sole survivor amongst its compatriots\, lost to the need for the space they occupied; a lone banana tree that is the last repository of the stories of those shores – of fishermen\, turtles and the sea itself. Alone it sings the same refrain – but who listens? \nPlaywright: Danial Matin\nDirector: Grace Kalaiselvi\nActors: Suhaili Safari & Shahid Nasheer \nFragments of a Singaporean Hainanese \nAt the opening of a new exhibition on the Hainanese community in Singapore\, memories are excavated through the stories of three Hainanese immigrants of different generations\, their connections to an island they left for another\, and the sea that connects them. \nPlaywright: Wang Liansheng\nDirector: Lim Shien Hian\nActors: Jalyn Han\, Hang Qian Chou\, Rino Junior John\, Mitchell Fang

SUMMARY:A unique approach to “figuring” art at National Gallery Singapore’s Figuring a Scene
DESCRIPTION:Discover new ways of “figuring” art at National Gallery Singapore’s new exhibition\, Figuring a Scene. Presented at Dalam Southeast Asia\, the show is Dr. Patrick Flores’ first curated exhibition for the Gallery since he joined in 2023 as Deputy Director of Curatorial & Research. Guided by an unconventional curatorial approach\, Dr. Flores diverges from the largely linear method of storytelling seen in the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery to encourage fresh perspectives on viewing\, understanding and appreciating Southeast Asian artworks and materials. It asserts that emotions\, imagination and sensory experiences play crucial roles in understanding art and inevitably defining how we make sense of history or society. The exhibition probes the process of creating forms and how sensitive materials like art gain significance within specific settings\, resembling the unfolding of narrative or drama. \n  \nFrom 5 April to 1 December 2024\, visitors may explore six episodes that investigate how elements from nature are depicted in different forms of art and take on meaning in broader contexts of history\, society\, faith and identity. Discover the links between fire\, a seemingly destructive element\, and Singapore’s national development or observe the different manifestations of the invisible element of air. \nFor more information on the exhibition\, please visit: nationalgallery.sg/FiguringAScene

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: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:Homing Instinct
DESCRIPTION:Homing InstinctAnanta Thitanat\, Ari Angkasa\, Dieneke Jansen\, Kahurangiariki Smith with Buntheun Oung8 October – 2 December 2024 \nHoming Instinct is a collaborative moving image project featuring artist commissions related to housing\, home and belonging. It is a partnership between The Physics Room (Ōtautahi)\, CIRCUIT (Te Whanganui-a-Tara)\, Composite (Naarm)\, and STORAGE (Bangkok); the project will be shown at each of the sites of its three new commissions. As such\, the work also shifts through states of belonging and meeting for the first time\, hosting and being hosted\, being located and being in transit. The first iteration of Homing Instinct was launched at The Physics Room and Enjoy Contemporary Art Space in Aotearoa\, New Zealand\, in July. Now\, it’s time for Bangkok to embrace this transformative journey.Homing Instinct began with a conversation around housing inequalities in Aotearoa. It evolved into an exhibition project with three new moving image commissions by Ananta Thitanat\, Ari Angkasa\, and Kahurangiariki Smith with Buntheun Oung. These are accompanied by an existing work by Dieneke Jansen\, which sparked this series of new commissions. Collectively\, Homing Instinct intends to hold a metaphorical prism in front of ideas we may have about housing\, home and belonging\, generating more expansive conversations about identity and its connections to place.Selected from an open call by each commissioning organisation\, these works take a distinct perspective\, yet the currents of identity and diaspora and reflections on family histories form points of convergence. These works have been developed with an awareness that they will move across different cultural contexts\, yet arguably they each deploy strategic acts of resistance to easy consumption. The works rely on translation\, nonlinear narrative logic or multiple temporalities\, and as such they disrupt any expectation of seamless transition between contexts.

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: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:Lost & Found: Embodied Archive
DESCRIPTION:25 October to 24 November 2024\, 10am to 7pm \nGallery 3\, Level 3\, Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark \nAdmission is free. \n  \nWhen we think of an archive\, an intuitive association that comes to mind might be a physical space teeming with material objects\, records and documents. By incorporating physical manifestations into artworks\, Lost & Found: Embodied Archive is the second pillar of Singapore Art Museum’s (SAM) multi-phase\, multi-year curatorial study project\, which allows curators and artists to experiment with new formats. Can traditional methods of documentation fully capture and preserve an artwork? How can performances or bodily experiences be “collected” or remembered? Expanding on this notion\, the exhibition invites visitors to consider the body as a reservoir of memory\, where artworks choreograph our encounters with them\, activating us bodily as visitors.  \n  \nFrom 25 October to 24 November 2024\, visitors are invited to step between intersections of the body and memory to explore rituals of space\, mind and humanity in a month-long exhibition at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. Comprising nine artworks ranging from national collection pieces by Albert Yonathan Setyawan\, Lee Wen and Gregory Halili\, to loaned works by Tiyan Baker\, Lee Kang Seung and Tuguldur Yodonjamts\, and a new commission by Au Sow Yee & Chen Yow-Ruu (Her Lab Space)\, Lost & Found: Embodied Archive re-envisions the body as a convergence of the past and present while opening possibilities for new encounters and interpretations.  \n  \nThis curatorial project engages emerging and established contemporary artists to explore the importance of archival documentation and records through artistic practices and community collaboration and to delve deeper into the notion and significance of archives. Reimagining how the experience of physical encounters being embedded in artworks and art experiences\, Lost & Found: Embodied Archive offers visitors the opportunity to explore new ways of understanding and engaging with contemporary art. Beyond static works\, the exhibition embraces the process of becoming by making space for the live nature of performative works in its midst. Many artists involved have also conceptualised performances\, workshops\, and talks that run concurrently over the month\, slowly unfurling as works are activated in turn\, creating an intentional space for movement\, rhythm\, and reflection. Participate actively in Lost & Found: Embodied Archive and its accompanying programmes and deepen your engagement in the interplay between artistic practices\, memory\, and the notion of the archive.  \n  \n\nWebsite: https://www.singaporeartmuseum.sg/art-events/exhibitions/embodied-archive\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/singaporeartmuseum\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/sgartmuseum\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/singaporeartmuseum\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@singaporeartmuseum

SUMMARY:WHO IS WEAVING THE SKY NET?
DESCRIPTION:“Who is Weaving the Sky Net?” brings together eight artists who explore textile\, fabric\, and weaving as metaphors to question the construction of our universe and existence. The title\, borrowed from an essay on science and philosophy by physician Nguyen Tuong Bach\, draws on the delicate interplay between quantum physics and Buddhist thought. In his reflection\, Nguyen unearths profound yet simple truths: we\, as human beings\, weave the fabric of our realities much like a sky net—often unaware of our role as creators. Entangled in the intricate webs of our own making\, we forget we are their architects\, lost in the stories we script and perform.\n\nThe reference to “Lưới trời Đế Thích” (Indra’s Net) deepens this philosophical inquiry. As a symbol of the interconnectedness of all things\, Indra’s Net suggests that each part mirrors and influences the whole\, revealing the boundless complexity of existence. This eternal question of reality versus illusion—like the dream-like play we both create and inhabit—remains unanswered\, lingering as an open meditation.\n\nThe artists of “Who is Weaving the Sky Net?” weave their narratives and materials with a shared grace\, drawing connections between fabric and life’s delicate interconnectedness. Through distinct approaches and methods\, they engage this age-old inquiry: Doan Van Toi’s work\, rooted in Buddhist philosophy\, resonates with a peaceful acceptance of life\, while Leila Seyedzadeh’s pieces are imbued with poetic reflections on homeland. These threads of existence are delicately explored through each artist’s unique lens\, unraveling the many ways we craft\, question\, and live within the worlds we weave.\n\nParticipating Artists: Dinh Thi Tham Poong\, Doan Van Toi\, Leila Seyedzadeh\, Keith Khanh Truong\, Lai Thi Dieu Ha\, Tra My Nguyen\, Woo Hannah\, Tran Thao Mien.

SUMMARY:The Return of Raja Durian
DESCRIPTION:Penang is a durian kingdom. A rich\, storied connection with the fruit has made the island one of the centers of durian cultivation in Malaysia\, if not the world. At the heart of this durian empire is a family-run conglomerate\, Durian King.  FAMEME\, heir to this empire\, has led a fabulously colourful\, nomadic life abroad as an entrepreneur and entertainer. He finally returned to the land of his birth in 2017\, rejoining the family business. \n“ The Return of Raja Durian” marks FAMEME’s homecoming\, and an introduction to a figure otherwise little-known in Penang. The exhibition presents a collection of objects and documents that reveals the vicissitudes of his personal history\, and his creative transformation of his family’s durian business. Artist and filmmaker Yu Cheng-Ta has produced a new documentary about FAMEME’s life\, screening for the first time in this exhibition. The film offers an intimate look at his life\, told through the gaze of a Taiwanese director. It delves behind his signature oversized sunglasses to trace the history of the Chinese immigrant community in Penang\, and details FAMEME’s relationships with his family and struggles with self-identity\, as he carves out his own durian empire.
