SUMMARY:Rattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest by Zen Teh
DESCRIPTION: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. \nNestled 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.  \nSet 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. \nIn 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.  \nRattan Eco Sprawl: Manifesting the Forest is commissioned by The Everyday Museum\, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Homing Instinct
DESCRIPTION:Homing InstinctAnanta Thitanat\, Ari Angkasa\, Dieneke Jansen\, Kahurangiariki Smith with Buntheun Oung8 October – 2 December 2024 \nHoming 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.

SUMMARY:Batik Nyonyas: Three Generations of Art and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:11 October 2024 to 31 August 2025 \nDaily\, 10am–7pm | Fridays\, 10am–9pm \nPeranakan Museum \n$6 for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents; $18 for Foreigners \nFamily\, 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. \nFeaturing 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.

SUMMARY:Déjà vu: When the Sun Rises in the West
DESCRIPTION: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. \nInitiated 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. \nNatee 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. \nDéjà 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.

SUMMARY:Tan Choh Tee: Shadows of Straits Settlements
DESCRIPTION:Official Opening with Guest-of-Honour and Artist in Attendance\nDate: Thursday\, 20 October 2024\, 3 – 4pm\nGuest-of-Honour: Lee Khai (Chairman of Penang State Art Gallery) \nTalk with Artist-in-Attendance\nTan Choh Tee’s Trips to Penang: Anecdotes and Philosophies\nDate: Thursday\, 20 October 2024\, 4.30 – 5.30pm\nSpeaker: Ho Sou Ping (Gallery Founder)\nRSVP required: kenix@artcommune.com.sg \n  \nartcommune 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.  \nTan 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.  \nSince 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.

SUMMARY:Lost & Found: Embodied Archive
DESCRIPTION:25 October to 24 November 2024\, 10am to 7pm \nGallery 3\, Level 3\, Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark \nAdmission is free. \n  \nWhen we think of an archive\, an intuitive association that comes to mind might be a physical space teeming with material objects\, records and documents. By incorporating physical manifestations into artworks\, Lost & Found: Embodied Archive is the second pillar of Singapore Art Museum’s (SAM) multi-phase\, multi-year curatorial study project\, which allows curators and artists to experiment with new formats. Can traditional methods of documentation fully capture and preserve an artwork? How can performances or bodily experiences be “collected” or remembered? Expanding on this notion\, the exhibition invites visitors to consider the body as a reservoir of memory\, where artworks choreograph our encounters with them\, activating us bodily as visitors.  \n  \nFrom 25 October to 24 November 2024\, visitors are invited to step between intersections of the body and memory to explore rituals of space\, mind and humanity in a month-long exhibition at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. Comprising nine artworks ranging from national collection pieces by Albert Yonathan Setyawan\, Lee Wen and Gregory Halili\, to loaned works by Tiyan Baker\, Lee Kang Seung and Tuguldur Yodonjamts\, and a new commission by Au Sow Yee & Chen Yow-Ruu (Her Lab Space)\, Lost & Found: Embodied Archive re-envisions the body as a convergence of the past and present while opening possibilities for new encounters and interpretations.  \n  \nThis curatorial project engages emerging and established contemporary artists to explore the importance of archival documentation and records through artistic practices and community collaboration and to delve deeper into the notion and significance of archives. Reimagining how the experience of physical encounters being embedded in artworks and art experiences\, Lost & Found: Embodied Archive offers visitors the opportunity to explore new ways of understanding and engaging with contemporary art. Beyond static works\, the exhibition embraces the process of becoming by making space for the live nature of performative works in its midst. Many artists involved have also conceptualised performances\, workshops\, and talks that run concurrently over the month\, slowly unfurling as works are activated in turn\, creating an intentional space for movement\, rhythm\, and reflection. Participate actively in Lost & Found: Embodied Archive and its accompanying programmes and deepen your engagement in the interplay between artistic practices\, memory\, and the notion of the archive.  \n  \n\nWebsite: https://www.singaporeartmuseum.sg/art-events/exhibitions/embodied-archive\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/singaporeartmuseum\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/sgartmuseum\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/singaporeartmuseum\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@singaporeartmuseum

SUMMARY:WHO IS WEAVING THE SKY NET?
DESCRIPTION:“Who is Weaving the Sky Net?” brings together eight artists who explore textile\, fabric\, and weaving as metaphors to question the construction of our universe and existence. The title\, borrowed from an essay on science and philosophy by physician Nguyen Tuong Bach\, draws on the delicate interplay between quantum physics and Buddhist thought. In his reflection\, Nguyen unearths profound yet simple truths: we\, as human beings\, weave the fabric of our realities much like a sky net—often unaware of our role as creators. Entangled in the intricate webs of our own making\, we forget we are their architects\, lost in the stories we script and perform.\n\nThe reference to “Lưới trời Đế Thích” (Indra’s Net) deepens this philosophical inquiry. As a symbol of the interconnectedness of all things\, Indra’s Net suggests that each part mirrors and influences the whole\, revealing the boundless complexity of existence. This eternal question of reality versus illusion—like the dream-like play we both create and inhabit—remains unanswered\, lingering as an open meditation.\n\nThe artists of “Who is Weaving the Sky Net?” weave their narratives and materials with a shared grace\, drawing connections between fabric and life’s delicate interconnectedness. Through distinct approaches and methods\, they engage this age-old inquiry: Doan Van Toi’s work\, rooted in Buddhist philosophy\, resonates with a peaceful acceptance of life\, while Leila Seyedzadeh’s pieces are imbued with poetic reflections on homeland. These threads of existence are delicately explored through each artist’s unique lens\, unraveling the many ways we craft\, question\, and live within the worlds we weave.\n\nParticipating Artists: Dinh Thi Tham Poong\, Doan Van Toi\, Leila Seyedzadeh\, Keith Khanh Truong\, Lai Thi Dieu Ha\, Tra My Nguyen\, Woo Hannah\, Tran Thao Mien.

SUMMARY:ITI Presents: Metamorphosis
DESCRIPTION:Intercultural Theatre Institute presents Steven Berkoff’s adaptation of Metamorphosis\, directed by Aarne Neeme and performed by the ITI graduating class of 2024. This gripping retelling of Franz Kafka’s iconic novella melds abstract physical theatre and psychological drama with elements of dark comedy. \nThe story follows Gregor Samsa\, a young man who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As he grapples with his new grotesque form\, Gregor’s once-supportive family begins to unravel\, revealing deep-seated fears and hidden resentments. Set in a claustrophobic atmosphere with minimalist staging\, the play explores themes of alienation\, identity\, and the crushing weight of societal expectations. \nThis adaptation of Metamorphosis remains faithful to Kafka’s original work while showcasing Berkoff’s unique approach to theatre. The result is a production that not only reflects on the fragility of identity and the human condition but also resonates with contemporary audiences facing the pressures of modern society.

SUMMARY:Temporal Oscillations. Electronics workshop led by artist Chok Si Xuan
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore how to use common electronic components to modulate the flow of electricity\, assemble and hijack standard systems of temporality. Participants will learn how a 555 timer integrated circuit (IC) forms an astable multivibrator. The 555 timer IC is a tiny chip found in many everyday devices—blinking LED lights\, kitchen timers\, alarm systems\, sound makers\, etc.—that modulates the frequencies of electrical signals. The term ‘astable’ means ‘not stable’ because the circuit never settles into a single state\, is a basic electronic circuit that generates a continuous oscillating output\, switching between two voltage levels. \nWorking with pre-assembled circuits created by the artist\, participants will be able to experiment with various components (small motors\, LED lights\, and speakers\, etc) as outputs. Exploring the transformation of different forms of energy—chemical energy from batteries\, mechanical energy \, kinetic energy and byproduct thermal energy\, the workshop accesses materiality as a manner of understanding the fundamental ways systems unfold. \nThrough engaging with electronic circuits in a hands-on and accessible way\, participants can expect to develop a direct understanding of some visible and less visible aspects that power everyday technology. Participants are encouraged to bring their own components for experimentation. These may include battery-operated toys\, LED lights or small light strips\, buzzers or small speakers\, direct current (DC) motors\, small fans\, switches or buttons\, old electronic parts like sensors or wires\, and similar items. \nThis workshop is part of the Empirical Workshop Series of Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions. \nThis workshop is suitable for age 18 and above.\nNo prior knowledge of electronics is required. \nLimited slots only! Register here.\nThis workshop is free for all participants. A refundable deposit of 10$ is requested to book a slot. The deposit will be returned upon attendance of the event. There will be no refund in case of no-show. \nIf you have questions\, please email ntuccacomms@ntu.edu.sg

SUMMARY:GIGENIS - the generation of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:“I am excited and humbled to be back on stage and direct six extraordinary soloist artists from all generations. GIGENIS is a profound tribute to that reflection\, a reconciliation between the past and the present times\, a genuine celebration of our collective love for dance—boundless\, timeless\, as well as deeply rooted.”\n– Akram Khan \nAkram Khan\, a choreographer and dancer rooted in the tradition of his practice\, and a creative interpreter of stories that need to be experienced\, has revolutionised the world of dance. \nKhan returns to his roots\, traditions and past—to a time when we were more connected with nature\, Mother Earth and our mythology. GIGENIS evokes the memories of our civilisation. \nIn his latest work\, GIGENIS – the generation of the Earth\, Khan shares the stage with a distinguished ensemble of classical Indian dance artists\, including Kutiyattam artist Kapila Venu\, Odissi soloist\, Sirikalyani Adkoli\, Bharatanatyam soloists Mavin Khoo and Mythili Prakash\, and the Bharatanatyam duo Vijna Vasudevan and Renjith Babu. \nKhan invokes memories across time and place to celebrate these artists’ collective love of dance. Drawing from his deep-seated connection to ritual practices and his ability to weave narratives through movement\, GIGENIS – the generation of the Earth is a testament to the enduring resonance of tradition in a rapidly changing world.

SUMMARY:The Return of Raja Durian
DESCRIPTION:Penang is a durian kingdom. A rich\, storied connection with the fruit has made the island one of the centers of durian cultivation in Malaysia\, if not the world. At the heart of this durian empire is a family-run conglomerate\, Durian King.  FAMEME\, heir to this empire\, has led a fabulously colourful\, nomadic life abroad as an entrepreneur and entertainer. He finally returned to the land of his birth in 2017\, rejoining the family business. \n“ The Return of Raja Durian” marks FAMEME’s homecoming\, and an introduction to a figure otherwise little-known in Penang. The exhibition presents a collection of objects and documents that reveals the vicissitudes of his personal history\, and his creative transformation of his family’s durian business. Artist and filmmaker Yu Cheng-Ta has produced a new documentary about FAMEME’s life\, screening for the first time in this exhibition. The film offers an intimate look at his life\, told through the gaze of a Taiwanese director. It delves behind his signature oversized sunglasses to trace the history of the Chinese immigrant community in Penang\, and details FAMEME’s relationships with his family and struggles with self-identity\, as he carves out his own durian empire.

SUMMARY:2024 Asian Art Biennial Announces the Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Organised by National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA)\, the Asian Art Biennial has opened on 16 November 2024 and will be on display until 2 March 2025. Co-curated by Fang Yen Hsiang (Taiwan)\, Anne Davidian (Armenia)\, Merv Espina (the Philippines)\, Haeju Kim (South Korea)\, and Asli Seven (Turkey)\, the Biennial will feature works from 35 local and international artists under the title of “How to Hold Your Breath”\, inviting viewers to take a deep breath and hold their breath while imagining a new future.\nThe title of the 2024 Asian Art Biennial\, “How to Hold Your Breath\,” evokes the act of voluntarily pausing a vital function\, creating a state of anticipation. A twist on the saying “don’t hold your breath\,” a warning not to expect change soon\, is inverted here to suggest latent hope.\nTaking a deep breath and holding it anchors us in the present moment. As the world unravels into new sublevels of rock bottom\, we continue to migrate and navigate through the din and dust\, between place and displacement in this late capitalist fallout. This act of calming the breath and setting the mind prepares for transitioning from one reality to another\, in a movement of transformation. It is an interval\, to listen to the inaudible and retune with the metabolic rhythms of our bodies and the planet.\nThrough a variety of media\, the artworks presented in the Biennial challenge progressive and universal notions of time\, revealing instead how histories are tied to people\, places\, and positions.\nMarwa Arsanios\, an artist and researcher based between Beirut and Berlin\, introduces a new chapter of her multifaceted project Who is Afraid of Ideology\, examining entrenched ownership ideologies and proposing non-expropriative practices related to natural resources\, agriculture\, housing\, and knowledge. For the Taiwan edition\, the project collaborates with curator Tsai Ming-Jiun\, artists and writers Wu Ke-Wei and Tsai Yu-Jou (Kuanntian Studio)\, and farmers from Tainan to convene reading sessions and a public conversation during the Biennial’s opening. This program invites audiences to dismantle possessive imaginaries and explore alternative ways of living harmoniously with nature. The exhibition features a film documenting the transformation of private land in Lebanon into common plot\, alongside textiles and drawings\, connecting these struggles to a broader historical perspective. Displayed in Taichung as city banners\, the Chart for the Usership of the Land\, offers a poetic protocol for new forms of communal property.\nYoshinori Niwa’s practice intervenes in public spaces to unravel societal conditions and create new horizons by pushing economic and ideological systems to absurdity. Among artist’s earlier works\, two new commissions have been produced in Taichung specifically for the Biennial. In Purchasing a Rice Ball at Convenience Stores for 24 Hours\, Niwa repeatedly buys the same rice ball he already owns\, questioning ideas of ownership and wealth. Requesting People in Taiwan Who I Met by Chance to Declare if They Die\, Taiwan Will Disappear revisits a past project where individuals proclaimed identification with their nation. Niwa revives this in Taichung\, questioning whether a country is defined by its people or geopolitical status.\nThe Unseen Presence is a recent series by Milay Mavaliw\, conveyed through woven installations that explore the connections between family and tribe\, transcending time and space. Inspired by the ritual blessings and prayers her Puyuma shaman grandmother performed before Milay embarked on her journeys\, these became a spiritual force that accompanies her\, anchoring her to her tribe. In her works\, organic lines and forms interweave and propagate throughout the space as a manifestation of energy. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in the present moment\, in a space where collective forces are summoned.\nHwayeon Nam’s film 2 loosely follows the traces of two women\, Choi Seung-Hee (1911–1969) and Tsai Jui-Yueh (1921–2005)\, two pioneers of modern dance in Korea and Taiwan\, respectively. Beyond their artistic achievements\, the lives of these two women\, separated by a decade\, also reflect the trajectory of modern and contemporary Asian history\, marked by colonialism and Cold War ideology. In this film\, two narrators\, two historical figures\, two actors\, two cities\, and two houses are arranged in a disjointed yet interconnected manner.\nIn 2019\, Julia Sariesetiati and her collaborators proposed a platform named “PulangPergi”\, designed to share experiences between migrant workers. East Java is a major source of migrant workers in sectors like childcare\, elder care\, and domestic assistance. During her visit to PERTAKINA Indonesia\, Julia also visited Tulungagung and Kediri\, collaborating with former migrant workers to document everyday vocabulary and instructions used in their jobs. This documentation aims to bridge the gap between pre-departure language training and real-world work experience.\nWorking across diverse media—including large fabric paintings\, cartoon drawings\, and animations—Woosung Lee captures memories both distant and intimate. This exhibition presents a blend of earlier works alongside new paintings created after his 2024 visit to Taiwan. It features scenes and figures from Korean cities like Seoul and Gwangju\, alongside observations from Taipei and Taichung. By spotlighting individual characters and simultaneously emphasizing collective solidarity\, Lee emphasizes both personal identity and communal strength.\nThe Biennial will launch a series of public programs starting from its opening on 16 November\, including artist talks\, collective conversations\, experimental performances\, participation workshops\, guided tours\, screening programs.\nThe first exciting event will be Andrius Arutiunian’s Armen\, a speculative investigation of diasporic histories drawing from the artist’s collection of Armenian music. Reminiscent of Yerevan taxis blasting local pop\, it is published on an audio cassette and experienced during car rides in Taichung throughout the Biennial’s opening day.\nSharon Chin will present a participatory performance Portal on the opening night. This performance invites audiences to light oil lamps made from alcohol bottles discarded on an eroded beach in the artist’s town. Originally conceived as a celebration of two mangrove trees growing on the beach\, it is now a memorial\, as the trees were uprooted due to extreme weather just a few months before. We face transformations – ecological\, social\, political – on an unprecedented\, species-level scale. This work invokes the spirit of a place for insight on the inner transformations required for us to collectively weather this change.\n“How Breath Moves\,” the screening program of the 2024 Asian Art Biennial\, imagines breath as a collective cinematic device\, a shared source of life and rhythm\, moving across our bodies to technologies of light and projection\, through life\, death\, and rebirth\, to explore the production\, translation\, and circulation of images\, sounds\, memory\, and collective storytelling. Through a range of artistic strategies – including documentary essay\, performance video\, and animation – the eight films in this program provide critical historical contexts that enrich understanding of the exhibition’s core concerns.
