Soo Bin - Life of Art, Art of Life

Featuring the works of Chua Soo Bin
15 Jan to 26 Mar 2023
Chapel Gallery, Objectifs

Wanted! Photographer-at-Large (RSVP here)
Sat 4 Feb, 2.30pm | Objectifs Chapel Gallery
Chua Soo Bin’s first exhibition in the post-pandemic period, following his retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore (in 2019-2020) is presented in collaboration with Objectifs, Singapore’s definitive centre for photography and film.
The exhibition is accompanied by a full-colour large-format publication of the same title; both exhibition and book commemorate the remarkable life and photographic practice of Cultural Medallion awardee Chua Soo Bin, bringing to the fore his personal and professional experiences as well as life philosophies that have been honed through the years.
Specially curated for display in the Objectifs’ gallery space (a heritage building that was a former chapel built in 1872), the exhibition offers highlights from every significant phase of Soo Bin’s practice – with photographs of the 1950s and 60s when he was actively involved with salon photography; to the advertising and professional photographic campaigns of the 1970s-1980s in his ascent as one of Singapore’s award-winning photographers; his magnum opus (1984-88), the Legends suite of photographs of 14 Chinese ink masters including Singapore’s Dr. Chen Wen Hsi; his emergence as a gallerist-dealer of foresight and vision in the 1990s, and his continuing creative work that includes photographs of Singapore artists Liu Kang, Wu Tsai Yen, Chua Ek Kay, Chng Seok Tin and Lee Wen.
This solo exhibition presents aspects of Singapore’s exemplary ‘multi-hyphenate’ – in his roles as artist-photographer, art entrepreneur, art advisor, patron and benefactor – offering glimpses into 90 years of an extraordinary life that has been bound up with and enriched by photography and art; and that shares Soo Bin’s precious philosophy of the art of joyful living.

About SHIFT
SHIFT is a progressive young dance artist development programme that is targeted at youths 14-25 years old, with a focus on those trained in street dance forms. Across 3 years, the dancers receive training from industry professionals in dance skills, movement philosophies and more. Discover more here.
About Jalan Jalan Cari Makan
This production is the hard work of the Year 1 SHIFTers, who have successfully gone through a full year of training and ending it off with an opportunity to apply their experiences. Jalan Jalan Cari Makan features 4 pieces choreographed by 4 dance industry professionals, created together with the SHIFTers.
“Jalan Jalan Cari Makan”: loosely means going for a stroll to look for food.
We envision the dancers’ journey thus far as a collection of different experiences – the “ingredients” that make up who they are today. What happens when we take the time to collate these ingredients? What dishes can we cook up? How do we feel about the journey and the results?
Exploring themes from hunger to desire, confusion to abstinence, we invite you to jalan-jalan with us this January 2023.
This event is made possible with the support of:

Joo Choon Lin: Dance in the Destruction Dance
2023-01-13 10:00 - 2023-04-16 19:00 | SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 39 Keppel Rd, 01-02, Singapore 089065, Singapore, 089065, Singapore
Through an atmospheric environment that is both a performance space and art installation, Joo Choon Lin: Dance in the Destruction Dance is an exploration of how the present is an illusion, and things are not what they seem. Joo’s multisensory environment is an instrument for experimental storytelling that highlights how post-industrial materials such as plastics, wood and metal can continuously shapeshift.
The installation is accompanied by theatrical performances that highlight this migration of forms and shapes the narrative of the exhibition, exploring how perception (or what we see) are just appearances of what we imagine the world to be.

Min is your average, every day,down-to-earth worker. She has her daily routine down pat. Min works hard, is good at her job, and leads a relatively simple life. She is happy and content with her current life. One day, Min veered off from her usual routine and unexpectedly finds herself at a game show competing to be The Best Employee Ever. The experience at the game show changes Min, and she is forced to decide between what she knows and brings her contentment and happiness, and wanting to be the best. What does she have to give up in order to be the best?
Written and directed by Deonn Yang, Why Be Good When You Can Be the Best? is performed by Chng Xin Xuan, Mitchell Fang, Sindhura Kalidas, Suhaili Safari and Eve Voigtlander, and questions our societal obsession with productivity and success.

“The fact that it’s actually more relevant today than when it was written 100 years ago suggests that the world we currently live in has some serious problems.”
—Heather Taylor Johnson, InDaily
“The audience is left both dumbfounded and in awe at the end of this hour of theatre. It has been a mighty trip into a hideous hypothetical. It has been a display of masterful acting, it has been a graphic lesson in humanity and an unforgettable experience.”
—Samela Harris, The Barefoot Review
An adaptation of Franz Kafka’s A Report to an Academy, Kafka’s Ape is a solo performance about a primate’s struggle to overcome the confines of captivity. The hard-hitting play presents a metaphorical view on South African society, highlighting the complexities of identity in post-apartheid South Africa as well as in the human race.
An ape named Red Peter is captured. In his quest to break out of his confinement, he learns to imitate humanity and contests identity based on outward appearance. Through his journey, Kafka’s Ape questions the understanding of otherness.
Miyambo has received multiple accolades for this powerful performance, including Winner of Outstanding Performance award at Prague Fringe Festival 2019, Best Satire Award at New York’s United Solo Festival 2019, and the Graham F. Smith Peace Foundation Award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2021, among others.

ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2023- 6th Edition
2023-01-10 - 2023-02-23
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2023 – 6th edition, organized by ITSLIQUID Group, will be held in Rome, at Medina Art Gallery from February 10 to February 23, 2023.
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2023 provides artists and exhibitors with the unique opportunity to present their works to an international audience of professionals as curators, gallerists, collectors, editors and publishers who seek to acquire, publish and encourage the best contemporary art talents.
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2023 analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary times, through two main sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyzes the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality; a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of the borders and the structures between body, mind and soul, the human identity and the city, the space and the ground.

2023-01-07 14:00 - 17:00 | National Museum of Singapore, 93 Stamford Road, Singapore, 178897, Singapore
Create a feast for the eyes and a treat for the palate with simple ingredients like azuki beans, kidney beans, sugar, and glutinous rice flour. Wagashi, or traditional Japanese confectionery, is much more than a sweet treat to go with a bowl of matcha (green tea). It is an art form that embodies the changing seasons of Japan. Through this workshop, participants will gain a basic overview of nerikiri, one of the many forms of wagashi, and bring home sweets made by their own hands.
This programme is organised in conjunction with The Doraemon Exhibition Singapore 2022 held at the National Museum from 5 November 2022 – 5 February 2023.

What Makes A Mountain by Yeoh Choo Kuan
2023-01-07 - 2023-01-19 | Richard Koh Fine Art, Blk 47 Malan Road #01-26 Gillman Barracks Singapore 109444, Singapore, 109444, Singapore
Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA) is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions of Malaysian artists, Yeoh Choo Kuan (b. 1988) and Zac Lee (b. 1968). The exhibitions are titled What Makes A Mountain and Another Day respectively. They are scheduled to run from 7 – 19 January 2023 at Richard Koh Fine Art Singapore, Blk 47 Malan Road, #01-26 Gillman Barracks, Singapore 109444.

In What Makes A Mountain, Yeoh Choo Kuan explores “Shan Shui”, branching from his Streaming Mountain series where his ‘paint streaming’ technique is employed as the element of “Shui” (water). The individual paintings are configured in an assorted format which are then placed in varying heights. The variation of heights mimic the layers and rhythm of mountain ridges, aligning with the idea of “Shan” (mountain). Through the process of paint dripping from different directions, the various gestures allow Yeoh the freedom to create and experience dynamics within each scene. To him, the process of making art and a mountain are the same, both challenge one’s perspective in understanding things differently and one must endure trials for things to be made right.

Another Day by Zac Lee
2023-01-07 - 2023-01-19 | Richard Koh Fine Art, Blk 47 Malan Road #01-26 Gillman Barracks Singapore 109444, Singapore, 109444, Singapore
Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA) is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions of Malaysian artists, Yeoh Choo Kuan (b. 1988) and Zac Lee (b. 1968). The exhibitions are titled What Makes A Mountain and Another Day respectively. They are scheduled to run from 7 – 19 January 2023 at Richard Koh Fine Art Singapore, Blk 47 Malan Road, #01-26 Gillman Barracks, Singapore 109444.

In Another Day, Zac Lee presents a body of work that centres around the everyday, depicting the most routine of acts and finding joy within them. Using sombre and bleak hues, this helps further illustrate the paintings’ uneventfulness and normality such as picking up a book that was put down from the night before, a quick sketching session, a Sunday afternoon. To him, everyday life is valuable — the bad times, the good times, everything in between, and everything that comes before and after. Today’s ending simply means tomorrow’s beginning. At the works’ core, it is Lee’s way of magnifying these vignettes of life onto the canvases, celebrating their simplicity as he believes that life’s fulfilment is found in these everyday moments.

By creating a pinhole in a darkened room, the environment surrounding the gallery projects back into its interiors, blending indoor and outdoor spaces with light.
Bad Clocks is an ongoing concept explored by DASSAD to reconsider the ways we understand and define time. This iteration explores the perception of time within the camera obscura, tracing back to the beginnings of photography. The camera obscura becomes a playground for interdisciplinary collaborations, inspiring visual, sound, performance and installation-based works concerned about the passing of time. This exhibition is led by DASSAD, in collaboration with installation artist, Victoria Hertel, movement artist, Neo Jialing, and writer, Euginia Tan, and with venue support from Objectifs.
