Days That Slip Away Untouched: A Solo Exhibition by Uji “Hahan” Handoko Eko Saputro
2026-07-09 - 2026-07-26 | Gajah Gallery, 39 Keppel Rd, #03-04, Singapore, 089065, Singapore
Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Days That Slip Away Untouched, a solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Uji “Hahan” Handoko Eko Saputro. Following its debut in Jakarta, the exhibition continues Hahan’s investigation into the shifting relationship between physical reality and its digital mediation.
Working across painting, sculpture, and sound, Hahan examines how perception and meaning are conditioned within digitally mediated environments. His work probes the terms by which images and experiences are encountered, tracing how distinctions between the real, the constructed, and the circulated are produced, and how authenticity is negotiated in their wake.
In contrast to the immediacy of digital systems, Hahan’s practice emphasises slowness and material engagement. Developed in close dialogue with the Ace House collective and his studio artisans, the works emerge through what he describes as an “aesthetic kinship”, a process rooted in shared labour and collective exchange. Across the exhibition, Hahan appropriates imagery from works by Raden Saleh, Tomás Sánchez, and Walter Spies, using these references to reflect on how knowledge, power, and ways of seeing have shaped historical narratives. In doing so, the works draw attention to the instability of images in an era governed by algorithmic visibility, where depth and context risk being flattened. Within these compositions, moments of disruption appear through hybrid figures and altered landscapes, introducing a sense of dissonance that unsettles familiar visual frameworks. These gestures operate as subtle “glitches”, interrupting dominant modes of representation and
opening up alternative ways of seeing and understanding.
The exhibition title, Days That Slip Away Untouched, speaks to an awareness of time that often passes without full attention. Across his practice, Hahan foregrounds attentiveness —to history, process, and everyday experience— as a means of resisting this condition. Here, authenticity is approached as something continually negotiated within the conditions of contemporary life.

ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space, London
ITSLIQUID Group, along with YMX Arts, is excited to present the 18th edition of LONDON
CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026, taking place from July 10 to July 23, 2026, at
ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space in London. The international exhibition brings
together contemporary artists from around the world, creating a dynamic platform where
artistic research investigates the fluid evolution of identity within the ever-changing
landscapes of contemporary society.
LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 invites a profound exploration of the human
experience through the relationship between body and space, reflecting on the
hybridisation of identities within the cultural, physical, social, and urban landscapes of
contemporary society. Inspired by London’s unique atmosphere, the exhibition examines
how the city’s dynamic energy shapes personal narratives and collective experiences,
influencing how individuals perceive themselves and interact with the world around them.
Through diverse artistic practices, the artists investigate the connections between desires,
needs, and fears, revealing the transformative processes that shape human existence. In
this context, the exhibition becomes a space of metamorphosis, where memory,
perception, and emotion converge, creating a dialogue between personal identity and the
collective urban environment.

Common Room
2026-07-16 - 2026-08-02 | Drama Centre Black Box, National Library Building (Level 5), 100 Victoria Street, #05-01 National Library Building, Singapore 188064, Singapore, Singapore, 188064, Singapore
When two young adults get the rare opportunity to share a living space of their own in Singapore, it’s all too easy to fall into mundane patterns of domestic responsibility. But within these rote routines lies the magic of profound late night conversations about one’s place in the world, spontaneous deep dives into exes and lost friends, and musings about what the future holds.
Common Room by ants chua is a celebration of the emotional, physical, and relational work of queer living. Directors Claire Wong and ants chua reveal a rare insight into the domestic spaces that allow us to be the most vulnerable, and the tender efforts we make to grapple with our past mistakes and our present selves. This intimate two-hander sees actors Genevieve Tan and Siti Sara Hamid delicately unfold the layers of identity, of queerness, and of vocation.
An exploration of loving, living and dreaming amidst the relentless rhythm and rupture of daily life, Common Room is both familiar and new; at once poetic and irreverent. Amidst the ongoing rupture and repair of friendships, despite the impossibilities and failures of language, how can we continue reaching toward each other?

BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY - 9TH EDITION 2026
2026-07-16 18:00 - 2026-07-25 19:00 (Europe/Madrid) | HUB/ART Barcelona | Barcelona, Spain Carrer del Dr. Trueta 183, Carrer del Dr. Trueta 183, Barcelona, Spain
ITSLIQUID Group is delighted to announce the 9th edition of BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY 2026, taking place from July 16 to July 25, 2026, at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Barcelona. Dedicated to contemporary artistic languages, the exhibition brings together painting, photography, video art, installation, sculpture, and performance art, creating a dynamic platform where artistic research meets the vibrant cultural energy of Barcelona.
Exploring the connection between body and space, BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY 2026 reflects on how identities evolve within today’s cultural, social, and urban contexts. Through its two curatorial sections, MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES, the exhibition invites us to investigate transformation, perception, and coexistence in the contemporary world.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyses the hidden dimensions of identity through an immersive journey into the labyrinths of consciousness. At the same time, FUTURE LANDSCAPES explores abstract and conceptual spaces where boundaries dissolve, opening new dialogues between body, mind, soul, and environment. Within this framework, the selected artists offer unique perspectives on memory, transformation, and the relationship between individuals and the spaces they inhabit.

VISIONS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
2026-07-17 18:00 - 2026-07-31 17:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Palazzo Albrizzi – Capello, Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello Associazione Culturale Italo-Tedesca (ACIT) Cannaregio 4118, Venice, Italy, Venice, 30121, Italy
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the opening of VISIONS, the third appointment of ANIMA MUNDI 2026. The exhibition will open on July 17, 2026, at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and will remain on view until July 31, 2026. ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through all things, the subtle force connecting every form of existence, from natural to artificial, visible to invisible. Understood since Plato’s Timaeus as the soul of a living universe, it returns today as
an intuitive awareness of an invisible but active network that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal across matter, time, and life. It is the underlying rhythm that links ecosystems, human and non-human entities, and balances the continuous evolution of the world. Within this framework, artists, designers, and architects are invited to explore how this universal energy manifests today, investigating the subtle
correspondences between soul and body, humanity and nature, and organic and synthetic worlds. Among the selected artists, Andrew R. Gibbs’s layered compositions in “Cities of Change” explore the emotional impact of transforming urban landscapes, where architecture and collective memory intertwine to reveal the fragile relationship between place and identity. Similarly, Hiromasa Maeda’s “City Layered” interprets the glass-and-concrete skyline as a palimpsest of reflections, shifting perspectives, and fleeting traces of human presence, suggesting that cities acquire meaning only through those who inhabit them. In parallel, Nuvy Kim (N12Y.3) and Ilinca-Ruxandra Pipelea translate inner
experience into material form: drawing on the precision of her background in jewellery making, Kim’s ceramics and paintings transform fractured perfection into ambiguous, ungendered anatomies and psychologically charged spaces. Pipelea, by contrast, constructs immersive environments through vibrant chromatic fields and richly layered textures, using colour and gestural accumulation to evoke the unseen rhythms of nature, memory, and emotional perception. A quiet, introspective sensibility runs through the figurative work of Dominika Łuszcz
and Marga Garcia: Łuszcz’s elongated, folk-inflected portraits contain restrained psychological tension and cultural traces, and Garcia’s “Surrectio” reads the figure as an emergent, feminine rebirth – silent, inward, and resilient. This intimacy of feeling appears elsewhere in Inna Stelmachowicz’s meditative images, where silence, material, and light render moments of honesty and inner tension, and in Diana Rîmbu’s intuitive paintings, which invite reflection and healing through emotional resonance grounded in an architectural sense of space. Movement, rhythm, and the transmutation of performance into image animate the photographic work of Danny Johananoff, whose slow-shutter studies dissolve choreography into painterly currents that make tradition feel timeless; Satyajett Salokhey’s large-scale ink gestures similarly capture bodily impulse and subconscious residue, balancing control and spontaneity. Asnaby Samuel’s canvases introduce a mythic, mnemonic counterpart: drawing on Sahara oral traditions, his “Djinns” series treats drums and surfaces as carriers of memory and projection, where attention and presence activate ambiguous spiritual forces. Finally, Filomena Parra’s “A Dança do Vidro” offers a lyrical conclusion: glass becomes suspended light and gentle choreography, a study in fragility and fluidity that echoes the formal restraint and emotional subtlety threaded through the show. VISIONS offers a cohesive journey through contemporary visual practices, further enriched by a great selection of video artworks.

Intermission by Esmond Loh
2026-07-18 17:00 - 2026-08-16 17:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Haridas Contemporary, CT Hub 2, 114 Lavender Street,Unit05-72, 338729, Singapore
Haridas Contemporary is thrilled to present Esmond Loh’s (b. 1995) latest solo exhibition with the gallery. Titled Intermission, Loh explores the pauses that emerge within the ongoing performance of everyday life. Intermission features 17 new paintings.
Set against a backdrop of rural and urban landscapes that appear ambiguous yet intimately familiar, this series of new works conjures figurative scenes of individuals caught between roles. Within such precious pockets of time, in a society shaped by perpetual momentum and productivity, Loh draws our attention to the suspense that envelops these private vignettes of rest, waiting, or escape.

CHARGED by Teater Ekamatra
2026-07-23 08:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Singapore)
Written by Chong Tze Chien and winner of Best Script at The Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards in 2011, CHARGED is set during Chinese New Year and opens on a tense night in camp, where the only soldiers left on guard duty are Malay and Indian. The uneasy quiet is broken by the arrival of Corporal Russell Lim. Old resentments surface, insults escalate, and taboos are shattered. By dawn, two soldiers, one Chinese and one Malay, lie dead.
As Investigating Officer Victor de Souza pieces together the chain of events, he confronts a maze of half truths, silences, and conflicting loyalties.
Set within the suffocating hierarchy of army life, the play confronts the fraught question of race with unsparing candour and a sharp refusal of easy political comfort.
Led by director Mohd Fared Jainal, with lighting design by Adrian Tan and sound design by Safuan Johari, CHARGED features a dynamic ensemble of performers: Brendon Fernandez, Irsyad Dawood, Teoh Jun Vinh, Krish Natarajan, Ali Mazrin, Izzul Irfan, Siti Hajar Abdul Gani, and Serene Chen.
