Hello Future: Building a Wonderland
2024-08-17 - 2024-09-08 | HarbourFront Centre, 1 Maritime Square, Level 1 Atrium, Singapore, Singapore 099253, Singapore
What does a sustainable future mean to you? In this exhibition, witness the creativity of preschool children and discover the futures they have imagined!
Hello Future: Building a Wonderland is part of the Think! Contemporary Preschool programme, presented by Singapore Art Museum (SAM) in partnership with eight preschools across Singapore. As part of the programme, young children learn about the world around them through contemporary art. To develop Hello Future, children were introduced to artworks and exhibitions at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, such as Black Forest by Cultural Medallion recipient Han Sai Por and Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey. The artworks show the impact of humans on the environment as well as the importance of living sustainably. With guidance from their teachers, they learnt how global warming has a cascading effect on our ecosystems and why they must protect the environment.
Working with their friends, families and teachers, the children used newly acquired techniques to transform found materials into artworks and stories that convey their hopes for the future.
As you explore this Wonderland created by children, uncover their whimsical ideas for building a sustainable Singapore!

What It Is Of
2024-08-24 - 2024-11-03 | Blank Canvas, 2, Argus Lane, George Town, Penang, 10200, Malaysia
At the age of seven, Éric Baudelaire participated in laboratory experiments designed to investigate the existence of telekinesis, the ability to move objects using the power of one’s mind. The experiments used a tychoscope, from the Greek tycho for chance and scope to see, a tin-can-sized robot that ‘makes chance visible’ by drawing random patterns on paper. During half-hour sessions, human participants were instructed to “bring the tychoscope towards them with their thoughts” and influence the drawings it made. These specimens were then compared to control drawings made without human subjects in the room, to see if they deviated from pure chance and potentially demonstrated the existence of telekinetic phenomena.
The experiments were overseen by Isabelle Baudelaire, Éric’s mother, as part of a programme run by the Trasbior laboratory at the French industrial conglomerate CGE from 1980 to 1981. The programme set out to perform and analyse 1,000 experiments, but was closed down after only 215 sessions when the company was unexpectedly taken over. The tychoscope was lost to science. In 2020, Éric began exploring his family’s history of parapsychological research, including the work of his Nobel-prize-winning great-great-grandfather, and recreated a contemporary replica of the original tychoscope.
What It Is Of continues the Trasbior experiments, aiming to create an archive of drawings from around the world far larger than the 1,000 originally intended. Participants are invited to engage in a 25-minute session where they seek to influence the tychoscope’s movement with their consciousness. The resulting drawings become part of the exhibition and are displayed alongside control drawings made without a subject present. Visitors can compare the specimens and draw their own conclusions. This ever-expanding archive, which probes notions of belief, chance, parapsychology and the interplay between mind and matter, constitutes the work What It Is Of.

RSVP to +60 16 246 6814
Tychoscope sessions
What It Is Of is a participatory work. Visitors are welcome to sign up for a free half-hour session to create a tychoscope drawing which will become part of the exhibition and project archive.
During each session, a single participant is invited to sit at the drawing table with the tychoscope placed on a blank sheet of paper. For 25 minutes, they are requested to sit quietly and focus on the tychoscope, trying to bring it towards them purely with the power of their thoughts. The resulting drawing is numbered and displayed alongside a control drawing created without a human participant.
Sessions are held every half an hour while the exhibition is open. Participants are requested to arrive ten minutes before the session, as late arrivals may not be able to participate. All are welcome to sign up, as long as they are able to sit and focus for 25 minutes.

THIS SERIES OF 15 MONOCHROMATIC PAINTINGS EXPLORES THE DUALITY OF BLACK AND WHITE, WITH ONLY TWO GRACED BY COLOUR. THE ARTWORKS DELVE INTO THE THEME OF MASKS THAT PEOPLE WEAR UNKNOWINGLY, EVEN ALONE. EACH ARTWORK IS A THOUGHTFUL DIALOGUE, A SILENT PLEA THAT ECHOES THE SENTIMENT, “SOMEBODY SAVE ME, ME FROM MYSELF.”

JOIN US FOR THE OPENING NIGHT
DATE : 30 August 2024
TIME : 6:30 to 9:00 PM
LOCATION :EL PICO, 6 Hongkong St, Singapore 059649
About The Artist
Aryan Arora (b. 1999), born in Saharanpur, India, is a visual and performance artist currently rooted in Singapore. Graduating from Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore, and holding a degree in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University in the United Kingdom, Aryan delves into the realms of societal norms and personal introspection through his artistry.
Rejecting the constraints imposed by societal ideals, Aryan’s creative journey is a relentless exploration of individual expression. With a focus on challenging taboos entrenched in contemporary culture, he employs various mediums to amplify voices often silenced or marginalized.
Aryan’s canvas extends beyond conventional boundaries, with bodies serving as both medium and message. Through mediums like body painting and his provocative honey dipping series, he confronts societal taboos associated with the human form. The choice of honey as a recurring motif in his work symbolizes preservation and protection, with its timeless essence serving as a metaphor for the desire to shield oneself and others from insecurities and vulnerabilities.
His past works have been prominently displayed at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, Art Outreach Singapore, Visual Arts Gallery Singapore, The Substation Gallery, Google Headquarters Singapore, Mumbai International Airport India, and many more.
In addition to his intimate explorations, Aryan’s artistry spills onto walls as murals and graffiti, echoing his commitment to unraveling the complexities of societal constructs.
For Aryan, art is not just a form of expression; it’s a potent tool for communication, commentary, and catharsis. His work resonates with a yearning for authenticity and healing in a world often shrouded in masks. In every stroke and performance, Aryan Arora emerges as a steadfast advocate for the liberation of the true self, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing through art.
This exclusive event offers an opportunity to experience Aryan Arora’s thought-provoking works in an intimate setting.

Speculative Comics: Strangely and Surprisingly Familiar
2024-08-31 15:30 - 16:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | Sing Lit Station, 22 Dickson Road #02-01, 209506, Singapore
Speculative comics are graphic narratives with a touch of science fiction and fantasy, but what makes them speculative are the questions they ask about our present world.
How do speculative comics take familiar cultural myths and folklore from the past and combine them in ways that are strange and surprising? How might these combinations help us think differently about the past and present, or imagine possible futures?
In this cosy lecture and Q&A, Professor of English Gui Weihsin explores how comics can be portals into reimagined realities. Take a trip with him into the fantastical worlds of Difference Engine comics such as Afterlife: The Boy Next Realm and Work-Life Balance: Malevolent Managers and Folkloric Freelancers and you might just step out of it with a strange but renewed sense of the world around you.
Comics will be available for sale too! This event is supported by Sing Lit Station.

The Actors Studio unveils its biggest production of 2024. Written by Joe Hasham OAM and directed by Dato’ Dr Faridah Merican, The Sisters Soong is a brand-new play that relates the story of the famous and somewhat infamous sisters; three of the most influential siblings of 20th century China.
Born in China and educated in America, “Big Sister” Ai-ling married banker H.H. Kung, who later became Finance Minister, “Red Sister” Ching-ling married the Father of Modern China, Sun Yat-sen, and “Little Sister” Mei-ling married Chiang Kai-shek.
In this modern retelling that alternates between fact and fiction, the playwright has taken some artistic license and cleverly woven this family saga that spans a century with the help of a narrator.
The Sisters Soong will be brought to life by an award-winning cast with choreography by Kenny Shim, costuming by Beatrice Looi, music and arrangement by Tan Zhi Yong against a set by Scenographer Yusman Mokhtar and live music under the baton of Maestro Lee Kok Leong.

Playing it Safe in 2023, Praying for Wealth in 2024
2024-09-07 12:00 - 2024-11-10 18:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | ShanghART Singaproe, Block 9 Lock Road #02-22, 108937, Singapore
ShanghART Singapore is delighted to present Lin Aojie’s solo exhibition “Playing it Safe in 2023, Praying for Wealth in 2024”, opening 7 September 2024 at 4pm. The exhibition brings together recent works by the artist, showcasing witty insights gathered from his observations of the art industry, the society, and the world at large.
Marking his debut exhibition in Southeast Asia, the self-proclaimed Southeast Asian artist (Lin is based in Guangzhou) was inspired to adapt the iconic political cartoon “The Situation in the Far East” (时局图) with a contemporary twist to create his new iPad painting “Southeast Asia Art Scene”. His distinctive style is perfectly demonstrated through the cartoon-like aesthetics, historical references, layered symbolisms, as well as reflections and observations of the art world and its relations to the wider society. These elements continue to manifest themselves across the other works in the exhibition in various forms.
As the exhibition title suggests, the works presented reflect the human condition as perceived by the artist, most notably through the pair of video works created in last and this year. A series of conversations across the two videos reveal the inner desires and the fundamentals of human nature, with “Ultimate Super Dodgy Talk” (2024) hidden within the gallery and only accessible to the ones who are brave enough to take the extra step.
The Chinese title “人间” roughly translates to ‘the world of mortals’, highlighting the observations of the human society from a broader perspective. However instead of positioning himself as a superior viewpoint, Lin humorously inserts himself across his works. These paintings reference various settings such as the life of an artist and the art gallery system, to the geopolitical situation, as well as the unspoken rules and power dynamics in a society.
Conspicuously, the only works that he is absent from are the triptych depicting the Three Deities. The figures are instead surrounded by a diverse variety of motifs ranging from traditional beliefs to urban myths, forming a comprehensive image of humanity’s biggest wants through the ages. Once again showcasing Lin’s signature style, the works blend traditional references with a contemporary approach by presenting these mouse paintings akin to how traditional Chinese posters are stuck onto the walls of their homes for blessing and protection, except that they are in a commercial gallery space this time.
Threading both personal narratives and universal motifs, Lin ingeniously creates seemingly simple yet extremely layered paintings that present a multitude of ways of reading. His approach of discussing serious topics in a light-hearted manner positions himself as a unique voice in this increasingly complex and fragmented world.

Through this workshop, your child will:
a) Showcase their creativity by making their own unique lanterns! They will learn how to expose and develop their own prints using cyanotype — a UV light-sensitive photo printing process which creates beautiful blue prints. In this workshop, your kids will make creative use of everyday objects and found materials to express themselves.
b) Develop a greater appreciation for one of the most celebrated festivals in Singapore. There will be an optional night walk around Objectifs Centre after the workshop in the evening.
No prior experience is required, suitable for ages 6 to 14.
Date & Time
Sat 7 Sep 2024, 4pm to 6pm
Workshop Fee
$70.00 per child
One accompanying parent/caretaker per child can join at $50.00 each (a second kit will be provided)

The 10th Anniversary STEP Production: A Path to Remember
2024-09-07 19:30 - 21:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | NUS University Cultural Centre, 50 Kent Ridge Cres, Singapore, 119279, Singapore
A girl who lost her memory cannot recall her past, what she does or who she is. She unknowingly makes the same choices and takes the same path to what led her to the moment that causes her to regain all her memories – making her realise she’s been who she is all along and it led her to her happy ending. A story about true and unwavering love, self-discovery, honesty, and staying true to oneself.

Waterloo Street Stories 2024: Cor Machina (Heart of the Machine)
2024-09-07 20:00 - 22:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | 42 Waterloo St, 42 Waterloo St, 187951, Singapore
Cor Machina (Heart of the Machine) is an immersive and interactive experience combining poetry, sound, and light. Part of “Waterloo Street Stories 2024: Interplay” and Centre 42’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, this event celebrates the rich histories and communities of Waterloo Street.
Waterloo Street represents Singapore’s diverse heritage, and Cor Machina explores the connections between communities and the arts, symbolised by the typewriter as a relic with the poet as its beating heart. The typewriter’s mechanical clatter echoes modern life’s relentless grind, yet within this noise, there is beauty—a reminder that even in the machine, the human heart creates with hope.
Cor Machina captures this playfully, by inviting participants to explore these themes through creation. Audiences first enter an installation of pre-made prompts that draws from personal, communal memories and stories of the street. They’re invited to send in an order for a poem to the Proletariat Poetry Factory, which becomes a meta memory machine. Poets, musicians, and artists create new memories and stories from their inputs, blending them with the street’s past.
The work evokes collective remembrance and celebrates the street’s heritage in a contemporary context. The intent is to spark meaningful conversations, weaving together past and present, individual and collective experience. This performance is also in conjunction with Centre 42’s 10th Anniversary, serving to commemorate our placemaking and memory making on Waterloo Street.

Subconscious
2024-09-13 11:00 - 2024-09-29 16:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Lower Gallery 1, Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film, 155 Middle Road, 188977, Singapore
Subconscious is Betty Goh’s long term project about the introspective reflections of her soul and subconscious.
Growing up in the heart of Singapore, the adrenaline rush and vibrancy of this busy city excites her. At the same time, she feels an amount of unspoken loneliness, tension and dilemma hidden beneath the surface. These overlapping and complex emotions are often expressed through Betty’s subconscious during her daily street walks and hence, the result of her visual poetry.
Through her unique use of reflections, shadows, silhouettes, long exposure, lines, shapes and spaces, Betty captures the subtle psychological aspects of a busy urban street life. While her work exudes a sense of mystery, imagination and surrealism, all her street work is un-posed and un-staged, captured within a single exposure, and with zero or minimal edits. Majority of the photos in this exhibition were shot on the streets of Singapore and some were captured in Tokyo. As a keen Leica camera user, Betty has been using the Leica Q2 and Leica Q3 cameras to capture her work.
Come visit this exhibition to celebrate Betty’s passion for abstract street photography.
This exhibition is supported by Objectifs Centre for Photography & Film and Leica Singapore.

PREMISE
“[collected on paper] has a simple premise. It intends to combine:

the magic of hearing an artist or bookmaker share about their process, and
the luxury of time and comfort when reading in a library.

An 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.
Art 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.”
MODE
A 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.
The 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:

most of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.
these images, like most in books, gain additional readings over time, but they also become irreplicable, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.

[collected on paper] is co-programmed by Hong Shu-ying and Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film.

Occasion #1: Time Capsules
A 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.
On this occasion, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves:

most of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.
these images, like most in books, gain additional readings over time, but they also become irreplicable, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.

About Hong Shu-ying
Hong 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.
Her 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.
Shu 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.
