Organised by Arts House Limited and held at Aliwal Arts Centre in conjunction with Glamboyant, OFF THE BLOCKS!!! looks into the narratives and practice of artists and creatives as they look into their identities intertwined with the notion of the street. It explores their connection to their urban space and how it has shaped their existence, personalities, ideals and aspirations. The term ‘street’ in this instance not only represents a physical space, but also a mental, emotional and creative space. It showcases the roots of their agency, their intrinsic need to uphold, advocate and stay true to their voices no matter how muffled and obstructed it may be. How did we start? Where do we go from here?
The exhibition will showcase multidisciplinary works both old and new from artists/creatives representing various overlapping sub-culture identities in Singapore, and will include curatorial tours and a live painting showcase by emerging artists.
Featured Artists: ANTZ, ATOMICK, BAKED, CRANKARMSTEADY, DEMSTER, HAS.J, KILAS, KROME, MONO X SCAM, NIC.K, PHATNOEZ, SHEN, SEI, SLACSATU, SPAZ, Syco03, AshD, TRASEONE, SONG, RAY (Badabink), ZERO

Sugar Pills for a Bitter World
2022-09-23 12:00 - 2022-11-06 16:00 | Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film, 155 Middle Road, Singapore, 188977, Singapore
Sugar Pills for a Bitter World
Curated by Daniel Chong with works by Desiree Tham, Eng Kai Er, Mike HJ Chang, Ryan Lim Zi Yi and Yeyoon Avis
Recipient of Curator Open Call 2022
Presented by Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film
“We live in an age of absurdity. Every new event is somehow more ridiculous than the last. Our financial systems constantly hang in the balance; we’re forever in a health crisis; even the concept of truth has changed. What a time to be alive.
Yet in this post-truth, late-stage capitalist, populist, Anthropocene, I’ve found sweet relief in a new brand of humour. This serotonin boost goes by many names: Gen-Z humour, TikTok humour or Post-Dada irony. Often defined by its generational difference, it is marked by its low video quality and unplanned randomness. However, it is often misunderstood as mere attempts to laugh away the pain. In a generation that has dealt with the increasingly illogical nature of the world, this brand of humour is not just a mere joke. In fact, within its absurdity are honest attempts to make sense of the world. They have developed their own sugar pill – a placebo activated from belief.
This exhibition functions as a sampler – a conceptual pillbox. Containing the work of 5 artists, each of them have developed their own sugar pills, placebos to process and guide them through their times. They too are honest responses created in the vernacular chaos of our era, synthesising works that sit between the poetic and the hilarious.
Their art is an incidental reflection. While not a direct response to the ailments plaguing our world today, they are clearly of its time. Sugar pills do not inherently heal, but through belief, affect change. Similarly, it is the artists’ earnest responses that have led the curation of this show. Selected for their commitment to their practices and their embrace of the absurd, they have formed their own internal structures and logics – crystallisation of their pursuits.
With each practice comes its own brand of sugar pill, and with each pill an acknowledgement of its size. A sugar pill is small. It pales in comparison to the monstrosity of the world. Yet, this tiny pill, with enough faith, commitment and hope, can help relieve even for a little while.”

A Land Imagined: A Transnational Framework On Land Reclamation And Labour
2022-09-22 20:00 - 21:30 | Zoom, N.A.
T:>Works features PerForm Fellow Dr Jerrine Tan, a researcher, writer and assistant professor at City University Hong Kong, in the next PerForm keynote, A Land Imagined: A Transnational Framework on Land Reclamation and Labour. Referencing Yeo Siew Hua’s neo-noir mystery thriller film A Land Imagined, as well as Saidiya Hartman’s work on the fungibility of bodies and Lisa Lowe’s writings on immigration and citizenship, Dr Tan brings together a lecture that allegorises the movement of land across bodies of water for the similar movement of indentured labourers. It further unpacks the film’s imaginative and responsible form of transnational assemblage which connects cultures and people not through labour or even soil, but through art.

ASEAN-EU Cultural Festival
2022-09-19 - 2022-09-25 | Singapore
We are pleased to welcome you to the ASEAN-EU Cultural Festival.
This is the first edition of the festival, and it stands under the sign of youth. It features a new generation of artists sharing their ideas, struggles and hopes. This generation strengthens ties between our two continents and stimulates a fruitful dialogue over a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient society.
In our music programme, jazz musicians from different backgrounds come together to create unexplored soundscapes while revisiting traditional melodies. Rock guitar riffs and rap flows echo the interrogations of art and creation on today’s greatest issues. Cinematic works reflect the hopes of a rising generation dedicated to a world that respects individual and collective rights: the right of women to be emancipated from the authority of men, the right of young people to live in a better world, the right of the handicapped to be integrated into society and the right of migrants to be treated as human beings.
Finally, the exhibition Butterflies count not months but moments, and have enough time brings together the young generation’s artistic perspectives on the idea of nature as a site for environmental and philosophical imagination. The exhibition questions the very notion of sustainability in terms of the circular economy and in relation to cultural belonging.
To celebrate the 45 years of friendship between the European Union and ASEAN, we invite you to a festival that is resolutely in tune with our times.

Anthony Chua Say Hua the echoes and eclipses of traditions
2022-09-16 - 2022-09-30 | artcommune gallery, 76 Bras Basah Rd, #01-01, Singapore 189558, Singapore, Singapore, 189558, Singapore
AC43 Gallery is pleased to present Singapore artist Anthony Chua Say Hua’s latest solo exhibition, Anthony Chua Say Hua: The Echoes and Eclipses of Traditions. Featuring around 15 ink works completed in the period of 2015-2022, the showcase provides audience a quick survey of Anthony Chua’s contemporary ink approach, which experiments widely with effects of smudging, rubbing and layering of ink, as well as non-brush and collage techniques. The show officially opens on Friday, 16 September 2022, 6 – 8pm at AC43 Gallery, with the artist in attendance.
Anthony Chua is most known for his contemporary abstract ink renditions of local heritage shophouse scenes. His interpretations of these familiar landscapes and buildings, such as Under the Banyan Tree and Boat Quay, merge Chinese monochrome aesthetics and daxieyi (大写意; writing the idea) brush style with Western abstraction techniques in pure lines and shapes.
Like the Nanyang art pioneers before him, Anthony Chua holds sacrosanct the principle of learning from and drawing on traditions without being slavishly bound by them. Having worked with Chinese ink and rice paper for over two decades, he constantly seeks to transcend beyond familiar techniques and conventions. His new mixed media collage, In Search of Shangri-la, presents an enormous euphonious network of association formed through disparate and painted paper fragments that include spliced rice paper, newspaper, calendar pages and even a money bill. Images are laid upon images, just as his ink sits layered upon ink, evoking a multi-layered continuum where time, space and cultures collide. Amidst this Western collage approach, his handling of materials and paints amplifies rather than diminishes the rich ink wash subtleties intrinsic to Chinese ink tradition, revealing a work that successfully embodies an East-West fusion and the expressive potential woven from these tensions. Bold and stylised in conception, his work invites viewers to meander through the echoes and eclipses of traditions.

Anthony Chua Say Hua (b. Singapore, 1966) is a multiple award-winning artist who has been practising full-time art since 1996. An alumnus of the Goldsmiths College, University of London under the Chen Chong Swee Overseas Art Scholarship and former winner of the National Arts Council’s Young Artist Award (2001), Anthony Chua also won the Silver Award in the established artist category in the 33rd UOB Painting of the Year Competition in 2014.
Apart from experimenting with different compositional themes, Anthony Chua is versatile in employing effects of smudging, rubbing and layering of ink to expand on the interesting subtleties of ink wash on rice paper. The artist is also known for utilising different types of brushes and unconventional tools such as peacock feathers and squeeze bottles in his paintings.

Pulau Ujong / Island at the End
2022-09-15 19:30 - 2022-10-02 14:30 | The Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre @ WILD RICE Funan, 107 North Bridge Road, Singapore, Singapore, 179105, Singapore
Pulau Ujong, or “Island at the End”, is one of the oldest recorded names for Singapore. But what was it like at the beginning, before humans started transforming the landscape? What lifeforms once filled its rainforests and rivers, and which ones are now extinct? With temperatures soaring twice as fast as the rest of the world, what will this island’s future look like?
Written with heartfelt insight by award-winning playwright Alfian Sa’at, Pulau Ujong is a riveting piece of documentary theatre featuring interviews with climate scientists, botanists, zoologists, environmental historians and activists. Their words, wishes and worries for the world take centre stage alongside the more-than-human voices we all need to hear – from zoo mascot Ah Meng to Singapore’s last tiger.
Brought to thrilling, kaleidoscopic heights by director Edith Podesta and a brilliant ensemble cast, Pulau Ujong is both an elegy and a cry of hope. At a time when we can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to climate change as it ravages the entire planet, Pulau Ujong invites audiences to re-acquaint themselves with the miracles and mysteries of the natural world.
Starring Al-Matin Yatim, Ryan Ang, Koh Wan Ching, Krish Natarajan, Siti Khalijah Zainal

almost home《我以为家》
2022-09-14 20:00 - 2022-09-18 21:00 | Practice Space, 54 Waterloo Street, 187953, Singapore
If home is where the heart is,
what do you do when your heart says,
“Actually… Is it ok if I don’t want to go home?”
Kuala Lumpur-born, Singapore-based Ng Mun Poh has spent the last 18 years of her life travelling between her two “homes”. As she should.
In a monodrama equal parts heartfelt and humorous, almost home dramatises the struggle of finding her place in a home where nothing, and yet so much has changed.
A first version of the work, Daughter, was received with rave reviews as part of Practice’s It’s Not About The Numbers series in September 2021. It has since been brilliantly reimagined for a black box stage in collaboration with director Yeo Lyle and dramaturg Neo Hai Bin.

Can Everybody See My Screen?
2022-09-09 10:00 - 2022-12-11 19:00 | SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 39 Keppel Rd, 01-02, Singapore 089065, Singapore, 089065, Singapore
As we navigate the spaces of the virtual, physical, digital, phygital – terms that have gained new meanings in and after the time of the pandemic – discover how artists explore the relationship between technology and the human body, and the space of the screen for interaction, bonding, imagination and worlding.

Can Everybody See My Screen? looks at the various ways in which artistic practices engage with an increasingly digitalised world—from the technological mediation of the senses and the body, to social critique, to how digital spaces may engender possibilities for self-identification, kinship, and love. Drawing from works in the SAM Collection and new commissions, the exhibition highlights recent explorations, as well as earlier practices from the 2000s.

Referencing one of the most repeated phrases that emerged from a long period of remote interactions, Can Everybody See My Screen? captures the ambivalence of bodies navigating technology, with the screen as the interface and locus of mediation.

Moonfest – A Mid-Autumn Celebration is an annual traditional Chinese arts festival held in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Families and friends gather to rejoice and give thanks for harmony and the fullness of life under a beautiful full moon. Celebrating this tradition, the 18th edition of Moonfest will be happening from 9 – 11 Sep 2022 with on-site live performances and ticketed workshops, with a peek behind-the-scenes online. It presents the opportunity for families and friends, young and old to be exposed to and rediscover the intrinsic beauty of traditional Chinese arts.
