The 11th Hour
2024-01-05 20:00 - 2024-01-06 21:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Esplanade Theatre Studio, 1 Esplanade Dr, Singapore, 038981, Singapore
‘The 11th Hour’ is a dark dance comedy that dives into the topic of death and ageless speculation of what comes after, in a satirical manner. In the Chinese culture, we accumulate good karma in this life, preparing for a reincarnation that would send us towards a better life. In the Jewish faith, there is no afterlife, just an end.
In many ways, this work is about endings and our inability to accept them. Instead, we make up stories of good places, bad places, vampires, ghouls, ghosts and zombies to fictionalise the idea that, after death we may still exist in some capacity. It’s a dark subject and one that bonds humanity and sometimes the only way to deal with the dark, is with the light.
The thematic double bill will feature the works of Decadance Co’s Resident Choreographer, Rachel Lum, and world renowned British Choreographer, Sam Coren, together with an impressive ensemble of dancers.

'Aequilibrium II' Tan Sock Fong

Aequilibrium is Latin for a level position, equilibrium, balance. It also suggests equivalence, or reciprocity. Tan Sock Fong’s Aequilibrium II, the current sequel to her 2017 first iteration, is a development of these values, enlarging the schema of how glass and stone can level each other off. In doing so she plays glass against glass, glass against stone, and stone against stone.

The exhibition is a first for Blueprint Art Space which aims to encourage enjoyable experiences with art and further artistic dialogues.

Free admission to exhibition and programmes.

Wonderfruit 2023
2023-12-14 - 2023-12-18 | Siam Country Club Pattaya, 50 Moo 9 T. Banglamung, Pong, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri, Pattaya, 20150, Thailand
Each year we look to deepen the exploration and bond between mind and nature. Wonderers will feel it across every touchpoint—some tangible, others ethereal. From music to experiences, gastronomy, atmosphere and environment, the threads of nature’s influence are woven carefully into the fabric of our experiences.

We’ve never thought of ourselves as a music festival. We approach music as a conduit for the cultural exchange of styles and sounds meant to challenge, provoke and kindle inspiration, and we’re curious about the potency of sound and music on consciousness, exploration and contemplation.
This year, our venues—including three new ones—are finely tuned for discovery and deep listening. Through an alchemy of experiences, we look to dissolve the boundaries between art, nature and sound, and interplay them with the mind. We invite Wonderers to step away from the festival archetype and enjoy music in new ways.
Wonderfruit is best enjoyed with an open mind and awareness, and as you traverse The Fields from one venue to the next, stop and listen to the soundscapes along the way.

The Disoriented Garden… A Breath of Dream
2023-12-12 11:00 - 2024-03-08 18:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | San Art, Millennium Masteri, B6.17 & B6.16, 132 Ben Van Don, Ward 6, District 4, Ho Chi Minh city, 70000, Vietnam
Centred on the concept of the garden as a living, regenerative library, Truong Cong Tung’s solo exhibition entitled “The Disoriented Garden…A Breath of Dream” foregrounds the ecologies that devastate what is intimate and hallow. Through a multimedia installation of video, painting, and sculpture, the artist brings our senses into contact with Vietnam’s Central Highlands: a densely layered soundscape teeming with memory, ancestors, insects, animals, and plants imbued with agency, and varied residues of violent conquest or soft power.
Considering land as witness, the exhibition draws our attention to the overshadowed histories beneath our feet, and, in so doing, intricately constructs an immersive portrait of the geopolitical, environmental, and spiritual subjects contained within.

Location: The former Wiang Thong Bookstore (west side of the city market), Trairat Road, Wiang, Mueang Chiang Rai, Thailand
This exhibition is an offering, prompting us to broaden our perspective amid waves of hometown affection and seek roots to reconstruct new identities that intertwine with ongoing decentralization. It encourages us to shift our focus beyond the beauty of different provinces and instead attend to reality by studying overlooked historical events in local and cultural communities. As we do so, we find that the region is not merely an inanimate resource but a place teeming with life.
Recognizing the significance of this project, MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum presents a pavilion for the Thailand Biennale, Chiang Rai 2023, in collaboration with the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture. The artist and initiator of the project, Anusorn Tunyapalit, puts forth a curatorial conservation project in collaboration with Atikom Mukdaprakorn, curating stories from contemporary artists in the region. The pavilion runs for two months, showcasing multidisciplinary artworks and knowledge-sharing activities, aiming to deepen the roots of each artist, enabling them to support the ongoing aspirations of the local community.

Symbiocene
2023-12-01 20:30 - 2023-12-03 20:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | Damansara Performing Arts Center (DPAC), H-01, Empire Damansara, Jalan PJU 8/8, Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, 47820, Malaysia
In 2025, a mysterious and highly disruptive force ruptures the boundaries between humans, plants, and animals. Under the banner of Expedisi Harapan Sembilan, three outcasts – a world-weary park ranger, a psychic, and a fungal traveller – are sent into the epicentre of this rupture, Penang Botanical Gardens, to investigate.
What will they find and how will it change them?
Symbiocene is an ecopunk tale of love, grief, and a wild re-imagination of a world where humans, plants, and animals live together symbiotically.
Coined by the Australian philosopher, Glenn Albrecht, Symbiocene is a period of re-integration between humans and the rest of nature, a time of living together and companionship. In the play, the Symbiocene is imagined as a world populated by human-plant-animals creatures where language and meaning are deconstructed and reconstructed.
Inspired by the genesis of the cyberpunk genre, we coined a term “ecopunk”. “Eco” as in ecology, the relations between living things and their habitats. “Punk” as in a defiance against the status quo. In our ecopunk world, we follow a group of outcasts as they navigate a world that re-centres all living things as equal.

SEA AiR – Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union: Passages
2023-12-01 13:00 - 2024-01-28 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | NTU CCA Singapore Residencies Studios, 38 Malan Road, Singapore, 109441
Emerging ASEAN artists will display their new works, dabbling in video, sound and virtual reality installations, at an exhibition that caps the second cycle of a joint art programme between Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the European Union (EU) Delegation to Singapore.
This is the second exhibition under SEA AiR – Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union, a programme developed by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (NTU CCA Singapore) and funded by the European Union that positions Singapore as a hub for artistic exchange between the EU and Southeast Asia.
Titled Passages, the exhibition features Southeast Asian artists Ms Priyageetha Dia (Singapore), Ms Ngoc Nau (Vietnam) and Mr Saroot Supasuthivech (Thailand).
The artworks in Passages are inspired by the artists’ three-month-long residencies in Europe earlier this year. As part of the SEA AiR programme, Dia undertook her residency at Jan van Eyck Academie (Netherlands), Nau at Rupert (Lithuania) and Supasuthivech at Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Germany). During their time in Europe, they were also funded for field trips supporting further inquiry into their respective areas of research.
The exhibition, held at NTU CCA Singapore Residencies Studios in Gillman Barracks, opens on 1 December 2023 and is part of Singapore Art Week 2024.

Address: Music Box Museum, 168 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore

Meet the artist: 9 December, Sat, 11am-3pm, 16 December, Sat, 11am-3pm, 13 January Sat, 11am-3pm, 20 January, Sat, 11am-3pm

We are thrilled to introduce you to the enchanting world created by the talented Kazakh-Russian artist, Inessa Kalabekova, at the Music Box Museum in Singapore. Inessa’s latest exhibition, inspired by the ancient Chinese story of the four dragons, is a captivating fusion of mythical creatures and the whimsical charm of musical boxes.

Here are some highlights:

Mythical Geography: The story introduces the “Classic of Mountains and Seas,” an ancient text dating back to the 4th century BC, which describes mythical creatures and the origin of Chinese geography. The book explains how the dragons’ kindness in delivering rain led to the creation of four great rivers in China.

Cultural Fusion: Inessa Kalabekova’s art is deeply influenced by her Kazakh roots, which are rich in folk tales, as well as her multicultural experiences. Her ability to blend different cultural influences and traditions through her artwork showcases her artistic prowess as a world builder.

Family Involvement: Inessa’s family, particularly her daughter Alice, plays a crucial role in her artistic process. They contribute to her storytelling and art creation. The collaborative aspect of her art adds depth and dimension to her work.
Thian Hock Keng Temple and Musical Box Museum: The Thian Hock Keng Temple in Singapore becomes a significant source of inspiration for Inessa. The temple’s intricate architecture and depictions of dragons and phoenixes within its decorations leave a lasting impact on her artistic journey. Adjacent to the temple is the Musical Box Museum, which hosts ancient music boxes and provides the backdrop for further artistic exploration.

Dragon Stories and Portraits: Inessa and her daughter Alice create stories about parallel worlds where spirit creatures, specifically dragons, play a significant role. These stories lead to the creation of dragon-themed collages and portraits, each with its own unique narrative and connection to the realm of dragons.

Artist’s Background: The story provides insights into Inessa Kalabekova’s background, her artistic journey, and her academic pursuits, including her upcoming MFA student exhibition at Central Saint Martins, offering a glimpse into her career and achievements.

In 1968, the renowned Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi unveiled her “crystal easels,” a groundbreaking design approach for displaying paintings at the São Paulo Museum of Art. For “Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America”, the Gallery actively engaged with Bo Bardi’s designs within the exhibition as a strategy to bridge industrial histories, material expertise and distinct building techniques from the Global South.

To bring this vision to life, the Gallery has collaborated with the architectural firm WOHA to engage with Bo Bardi’s designs. WOHA has been at the forefront of innovations in architecture and urbanism through their futuristic buildings that remind us we exist within the natural world, not outside of it.

In this wide-ranging talk, Richard Hassell, one of the co-founders of WOHA, will offer insights into the exhibition’s design ethos and reflect on burgeoning questions around postmodern tropicality, urbanism and architecture.

The lecture will be followed by a discussion with the exhibition’s co-curator Shabbir Hussain Mustafa.

About the Exhibition
“The Neglected Dimension” explores the period from the 1960s onward when calligraphy and abstraction became prominent modes of artistic production in Islamic art in Indonesia. This exhibition introduces four artists associated with the modernist artistic training in Bandung, Indonesia, a key site where experimentations with Arabic calligraphy and different forms of abstraction took place. The artists are Ahmad Sadali (1924 – 1987), A.D. Pirous (b. 1932), Haryadi Suadi (1938 – 2016), and Arahmaiani (b. 1961).
