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 His distinctive style is perfectly demonstrated through the cartoon-like aesthetics, historical references, layered symbolisms, as well as reflections and observations of the art world and its relations to the wider society.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.

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.

TENUNAN: A View on Tapestry of Historical Processes
2024-09-18 - 2024-10-16 | 10 Square, 181, Orchard Road, #10-01, Orchard Central, Singapore, Singapore, 238896, Singapore
TENUNAN: A View on Tapestry of Historical Processes explores Kain Tenunan, or Songket, as a metaphor to explore the intricacies of historical developments. Known for its intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance, Songket mirrors the complexity of weaving historical narratives.
Curated by Bruneian veteran artist Osman Mohammad, this exhibition draws parallels between the art of Songket weaving and the fabric of history. Each thread in Songket represents different societal elements—social movements, economic changes, and cultural shifts — interwoven to create a comprehensive tapestry of human experience. Just as weavers design patterns in Songket, historical events form patterns that reflect societal dynamics, trends, and transformations.
Featuring works by Bruneian artists Yasmin Jaidin, Faizal Hamdan, and Armacester Arsad, TENUNAN invites viewers to appreciate the interconnectedness of historical moments, highlighting the skill and vision needed to navigate and shape pivotal events. It underscores the importance of preserving our collective legacy and understanding the complex interactions that shape our history.
Join us for a curator’s tour and artist talk on 21 Sept at 2:30pm – registration required.
TENUNAN is part of The Idea of North — a 4-day festival commemorating the 40th anniversary of bilateral relations between Brunei and Singapore.

Let's See レッツ・シー : A Japanese painters group exhibition in Singapore
2024-09-28 12:00 - 2024-10-27 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | ArtSpace @ HeluTrans, 39 Keppel Road, Singapore, 089065
MISAKO AND ROSEN (Tokyo) and ROH (Jakarta) are pleased to announce our jointly produced exhibition, Let’s See レッツ・シー, to be presented at ArtSpace@HeluTrans, Singapore. Offering a cross-section of contemporary Japanese painting, Let’s See レッツ・シー simultaneously proposes a model of collaboration between galleries within Asia, with an example of the potential for commercial gallery spaces to utilize, cooperatively, their resources and flexibility towards the presentation of exhibitions of cultural significance.
Let’s See レッツ・シーfeatures the work of 18 individual painters and one collective of 2 artists (Twin Boat Songs; Yu Nishimura + Kazuyuki Takezaki). The exhibition takes as foundational the work of Tokyo-based Hiroshi Sugito (b. 1970) and spans multiple generations with the youngest artists, Emi Mizukami and Nanami Hori, both being born in the 1990s. Let’s See レッツ・シー follows by one decade the groundbreaking exhibition The Way of Painting organized by curator Motoaki Hori for Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2014.
The exhibition will include a site-specific work by artist Shimon Minamikawa, a series of artist talks, and a catalogue with essays by both independent curator Motoaki Hori as well as Gabriel Ritter, Director of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Art, Design & Architecture Museum and Associate Professor in the Department of the History of Art & Architecture.

Being and Nothingness – A Discourse on Identity | New Works by Nathan Yong
2024-09-28 12:00 - 2024-11-16 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | artcommune gallery, 76 Bras Basah Rd, #01-01, Singapore 189558, Singapore, Singapore, 189558, Singapore
Official Opening with Artist in Attendance
Date: Thursday, 3 October 2024, 7 – 9pm
RSVP required at kenix@artcommune.com.sg
Exhibition Period: 28 Sept – 16 Oct 2024
In conjunction with Singapore Gallery Month 2024 and Singapore Design Week 2024, artcommune gallery proudly presents the new solo exhibition of trailblazing industrial designer and artist, Nathan Yong (b. 1971, Singapore). The exhibition features 11 limited edition designs crafted from stainless steel and in the typology of everyday interior objects: sofa, lounger, chair, bar stool, standing screen, and vase. Sculptural, sleek and thought-provoking in shapes and polished to a mirror finish, these works overturn conventional expectations of industrial design and push the symbiotic interdependence between form and functionality of such objects beyond their familiar material and presence.
The marriage of art and industrial design is an artistic process well explored in the creative world. Ushered in by the likes of Western artists such as Donald Judd, John Chamberlain and Dan Flavin, who opened up a new entire visual vocabulary since the 1960s, this practice has continued to inform contemporary currents of art and industrial expressions in myriad ways. In Singapore, however, this remains a niche exploration and an undercelebrated creative practice. With his exceptional background in design and craftsmanship, Nathan’s interest in challenging and bridging the formal expressions of art and object design has been at the forefront of his exploration with industrial materials over the decades. Being and Nothingness – A Discourse on Identity showcases Nathan’s latest series of work, through which he examines the relationships surrounding material design, space and identity.
In the realm of Singaporean artistry, the choice of stainless steel pipes and sheets as a medium carries profound symbolism, reflecting the cultural and societal ethos of the nation. This medium, inherently sleek and efficient, evokes a paradoxical narrative, oscillating between cleanliness and coldness, efficiency and a lack of warmth. Just as polished stainless steel mirrors its surroundings, there is a reflection of Singapore’s societal fabric where efficiency often prevails, but at times, individual identity can feel overshadowed. Singapore, a city-state known for its modernity and progress, is often portrayed through the lens of efficiency and cleanliness. The use of stainless steel as an artistic medium echoes these themes, embodying the precision and orderliness that define the cityscape. The smooth, unblemished surfaces of stainless steel pipes and sheets represent the meticulous planning and execution characteristic of Singapore’s urban development.
However, beneath this surface of efficiency sits a deeper narrative. The coldness of stainless steel speaks to the potential loss of individual identity in a society that prioritises uniformity and conformity. Just as the reflective nature of polished stainless steel can obscure its own identity in favour of mirroring its surroundings, individuals may find themselves caught in a similar predicament, striving for perfection and assimilation while grappling with the erosion of personal distinctiveness.
Yet, there is a poignant beauty in this reflection. The mirrored surfaces of stainless steel invite contemplation, prompting viewers to question their own roles within the societal framework. The interplay between the material’s reflective qualities and its inherent lack of warmth challenges us to seek balance between efficiency and human connection, between order and individuality.
Ultimately, the symbolism of stainless steel in Singaporean artistry serves as a microcosm of the city-state itself— a place where efficiency and progress coexist with the complexities of human experience. It reminds us that beneath the gleaming facade of modernity, there are nuanced narratives waiting to be discovered and expressed, inviting us to reflect on our own identities within the ever-evolving tapestry of Singaporean society.

Rattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest by Zen Teh
2024-10-06 - 2025-12-31 | Spottiswoode Park (access path opposite Spottiswoode Residences), Spottiswoode Park (access path opposite Spottiswoode Residences), Singapore, Singapore
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.
Nestled 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.
Set 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.
In 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.
Rattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest is commissioned by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum.

Homing Instinct
2024-10-08 14:00 - 2024-12-02 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Storage Art Space, 3rd Fl. 469 Prasumen Rd, Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand
Homing InstinctAnanta Thitanat, Ari Angkasa, Dieneke Jansen, Kahurangiariki Smith with Buntheun Oung8 October – 2 December 2024
Homing 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.

Batik Nyonyas: Three Generations of Art and Entrepreneurship
2024-10-11 10:00 - 2025-08-31 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Asian Civilisations Museum, 1 Empress Pl,, Singapore, 179555, Singapore

Peranakan Museum
$6 for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents; $18 for Foreigners
Family, 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.
Featuring 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.

Déjà vu: When the Sun Rises in the West
2024-10-18 10:00 - 2024-12-08 17:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | The Private Museum, 11 Upper Wilkie Rd, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore 228120, Singapore
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.
Initiated 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.
Natee 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.
Déjà 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.

Tan Choh Tee’s Trips to Penang: Anecdotes and Philosophies
Date: Thursday, 20 October 2024, 4.30 – 5.30pm
Speaker: Ho Sou Ping (Gallery Founder)
RSVP required: kenix@artcommune.com.sg

artcommune gallery is pleased to present Shadows of Straits Settlements, which features a new series of 21 oil paintings by Singapore’s 2nd-generation landscape master, Tan Choh Tee. Focusing on the historic urban environs of Penang, the series is a culmination of three separate trips to Penang between 2022 – 2023, during which the artist endured unpredictable weather conditions and worked energetically to paint the landscapes on-site.
Tan believes that an artist has to feel emotionally connected with a landscape in order to paint it. Penang, like Singapore, was once part of the Straits Settlements under the British Colonial rule and its landscape and culture today continues to reflect a melting pot of multi-ethnic influences. Mediated by his memories of Singapore in its yesteryears, Penang, saved from the behemothic sword of urban redevelopment, has become reminiscent of the Old Singapore and offers him a continued source of artistic inspiration. This new series of Penang landscapes are marvellously expressed through the artist’s mature brush and palette knife techniques.
Since the 1980s, Tan has developed a highly personal and recognisable style of landscape painting which eschews photographic details, favouring instead, an emotional and expressive handling of brushwork and colour. His thoughtful renditions of various landscape scenes around Southeast Asia, such as an alley next to a weathered shophouse, a rustic village, a bustling open-air market, local provision stores, and streetside hawkers are bold in colours yet suffused with a mesmerising nostalgia.

Synopsis

★★★★
“For this hour, conjured images are more real than the tangible world. Lift the goggles and everything disappears. Kagami is both graceful elegy and transportation.”
– Observer
★★★★
“A spellbinding performance by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto”
– Daily Telegraph
“a fantastic and totally unique experience among mixed reality events that I have ever seen”
– medium.com
A transcendental concert experience unlike any other by one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary composers.
Created as a collaboration between the legendary composer, producer and cultural icon Ryuichi Sakamoto and Tin Drum, KAGAMI represents a new kind of concert. Fusing an authentic, dimensionally captured performance with the real world and powerful sound design, this groundbreaking production blends the recording with reality, to create an unparalleled musical experience of Sakamoto’s stirring works.
KAGAMI, which translates to “mirror” in Japanese, is one of Sakamoto’s final works. This production sees him returning to the solo piano repertoire most cherished by his fans, with featured compositions like Energy Flow and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, along with rarely played pieces, such as the unreleased BB, dedicated to director Bernardo Bertolucci. Fans of the late Sakamoto can experience his artistry through extraordinary technological innovation by the studio Tin Drum, the world’s premier creator of mixed reality events.
Set on the stage of Esplanade Theatre, audiences will wear optically transparent devices that show an augmented Sakamoto performing at the piano, while dynamic, dimensional art elements unfold synchronously with intricately designed stage lighting. In this intimate space, you are invited to experience this augmented reality performance as you wish: move around Sakamoto and observe him up close, wander through the multimedia elements, or take it all in while seated at a distance.
Presented in surround sound, the experience is both collective and individual, inviting observers to connect to the work—and each other—throughout. The result is an intimate musical experience with deep human connotations, which transforms the entire space into a unique opportunity for emotional and artistic connection.

THE NECESSARY STAGE
PRESENTS
WHITE, ALL WHITE

How white all the walls are. Even after all these years.

White, All White offers a glimpse into the quiet lives of a family of women across three generations. As they grapple with their individual struggles, dreams and desires whilst living under the same leaky roof, what unites them is the deep love and concern they have for one another. However, an unexpected financial misadventure challenges the household. Can their relationships endure when tested by adversity, especially when these women’s lives are intrinsically linked?

Written and directed by The Necessary Stage’s Associate Artist Deonn Yang, White, All White explores the joys and tensions of family and individual desires—and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love.

Funny, charming and poignant, this life-affirming play hits all the right notes when it comes to family drama.
