Tempo
2026-05-15 20:00 - 21:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Drama Centre Theatre, 100 Victoria St, #03-01 National Library / Lee Kong Chian Reference Library, Singapore, Singapore, 188064, Singapore
Tempo is a captivating exploration of time: its acceleration, deceleration and moments when it seems to stand still. At its core is a mundane event turned extraordinary, highlighting life’s fragility through moments of falling, stumbling and near-accidents.
Directed by visual artist and magician Kalle Nio, with choreography by Fernando Melo and music by Samuli Kosminen, Tempo blends text, movement, and mesmerising stage illusions where time reverses, gravity vanishes, and the laws of nature dissolve. Dreamlike, wordless scenes alternate with rhythmic compositions for prepared metronomes and Harry Salmenniemi’s poignant text about time’s strange elasticity.
Through magic and movement, Tempo invites audiences to pause, reflect, and truly feel the present moment.
There will be a post-show talk with the artists after the 16 May, Saturday performance.

Salesman 之死
2026-05-15 20:00 - 22:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Victoria Theatre, 9 Empress Place, 179556, Singapore
In the spring of 1983, in a groundbreaking act of cross-cultural collaboration, Arthur Miller accepted an invitation to direct his play Death of a Salesman with an all-Chinese cast in Beijing, despite not speaking a word of Mandarin.
This extraordinary encounter, which Miller detailed in his memoir Salesman in Beijing, is the inspiration for Salesman之死, which centres on a young university professor who is summoned to the theatre for a special task: to interpret for Arthur Miller, who will soon arrive to direct his iconic play – in Mandarin. Meanwhile, the Chinese ensemble has never met “a salesman”. Will they be able to find common ground?
Warm and funny, it is a multilingual tale of cultural confusion, impossible translation and unexpected encounters amid the chaos of theatre making.
Special Stage Seat Experience
What is the role of an audience member who’s on stage and in-the-know? A limited number of stage seats are available for each show, offering audience members an exclusive theatrical experience like no other. Seated on the stage of Victoria Theatre, you get to witness the entire workings of the play up close, from right beside the cast.

There will be a post-show talk with the artists after every performance.

1983年春。
一句中文也不会说亦从来不是导演的美国著名剧作家阿瑟.密勒，竟应英若诚之邀，远赴北京执导他笔下名作《推销员之死》。一场从一开始就注定“无法对话”的相遇，就此展开。
这段跨越语言与文化的经历，后来被密勒记在回忆录《北京的推销员》里。而这场近乎不可能的合作，也成为了《Salesman之死》的灵感起点。
作品讲述一位年轻的大学教授被召入剧场承接一项特别任务；为即将来到北京导戏的阿瑟.密勒担任口译。然而，中国剧团从未见过“推销员”，他们是否能顺利找到彼此的共鸣？台上台下、排练与现实之间，反复在两种语言、两种思维和两个世界中周旋。
字里行间，剧场演变 。
温暖又诙谐，当文化错位遇上语言错意，要如何在翻译的误解里寻找共鸣？
当中国剧团对上美国导演，究竟会上演哪一出戏？
特别舞台座上体验
坐在台上、洞察全局的观众，会扮演什么样的角色？ 我们将在每场演出预设有限台上座位，供观众一次绝无仅有的独家舞台体验。遥坐在维多利亚剧院舞台另一端观众席上的你，将能在演员旁近距离见证整部剧的运作构成。如果你也想在这场新加坡首演中，成为其中一份子，就不要错过这难得的机会。
注：台上座位仅可通过楼梯进入
每场演出结束后，均设有与导演及演员的戏后交流。

Tang Maohong: Simplified
2026-05-16 16:00 - 2026-06-28 18:00 (Asia/Singapore) | ShanghART Singapore, Block 9 Lock Road #02-22, 108937, Singapore
ShanghART Singapore is delighted to present Simplified, a solo exhibition by the
Chinese artist Tang Maohong, opening on 16 May 2026 at 4pm. This exhibition brings
together a selection of the artist’s latest paintings, developed extensively over the past
year following his relocation to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It also marks his return to
Singapore after his 2019 solo exhibition, and twenty years since his participation in the
first Singapore Biennale.
Tang’s new body of work reflects a significant development in his practice, centered
around explorations into the process of painting, and its relationship with the result.
The act of painting typically results in two outcomes – the image on the canvas and the
mixed colours on the palette. The works stem from the approach of mixing colours
directly on the painting surface instead of using a palette. This simple gesture
collapses two planes into one, creating a mutually-influencing relationship within the
same pictorial space.
Originating from a period of constraint, this approach has been refined over the past
year into a more distilled visual language. Tang pares down his compositions to focus
on the relationship between the intended image and the residual colour. Deceptively
simple, the underlying tension is withheld from the apparent harmonious coexistence
of the two elements, experienced only upon prolonged inspection.
Tang’s practice has consistently engaged with the nature of images and how we
perceive them. He initially opted to work with animation for its ability to explore the
instability of images through time. Forms derived from the real world would morph,
dissolve, and reassemble, remaining familiar yet resistant to fixed interpretations.
Over time, this temporal process became increasingly condensed, leading him back to
painting. What once unfolded sequentially is now internalised, with shifts and
transformations embedded within a single, suspended surface.
Operating between abstraction and figuration across different mediums, Tang’s works
often resist immediate recognition. His forms appear familiar yet elusive, inviting
sustained attention rather than instant interpretation. At the core of his practice is an
ongoing inquiry into perception – how images are formed, how meaning emerges,
and how both remain inherently unstable.
Across two decades, Tang has continued to refine and distill his approach, pursuing
the same fundamental questions with increasing precision. This presentation marks a
pivotal moment in that trajectory. The new paintings bring together image, material,
and structure into a tightly resolved yet open-ended condition, where process and
result are held in balance. For Tang, painting is not a means of searching for fixed
answers, but a reciprocal process in which meaning emerges from the act of painting
itself.

RITUALS - ANIMA MUNDI 2026
2026-05-20 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Rome) | Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello Associazione Culturale Italo-Tedesca (ACIT), Cannaregio 4118, Venice, Cannaregio 4118, Venice, Veneto, 30121, Italy
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association,
is pleased to announce the opening of RITUALS, the first appointment of ANIMA MUNDI
2026. The exhibition will open on May 20, 2026, at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and
will run until June 04, 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.

Spectres: They Dream in Time
2026-05-22 12:00 - 2026-05-31 19:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Art Outreach Singapore, 5 Lock Road, #01-06 Gillman Barracks, Singapore 108933, Singapore, 108933, Singapore
“Spectres: They Dream in Time” is an interdisciplinary exhibition that explores the latent emotional and ecological traces embedded within Singapore’s urban landscape. Bringing together a constellation of works by Foo Hui Wen and Tan Wei, the exhibition foregrounds photography, moving image, and installation as mediums of excavation, unearthing the intangible yet deeply felt presences that haunt the city’s spaces.
Through a series of poetic gestures, the exhibition reflects on Singapore’s enduring “garden city” narrative while inviting audiences to consider the affective and material legacies inscribed within the built environment. Spectrality in the exhibition gestures toward what lingers at the threshold of perception: emotional atmospheres, ecological residues, and fragments of memory that persist despite the city’s continual transformation. Engaging with both affect (emotional resonance) and effect (material impact), the exhibition asks what remains buried beneath carefully manicured greenness. What memories resist erasure? What unseen forces shape the ways we inhabit and remember a city?
Location: Art Outreach, 5 Lock Rd, #01-06 Gillman Barracks
22 May 2026 till 31 May 2026
12:00 pm – 7:00 pm daily

Last Rites
2026-05-22 20:00 - 21:30 (Asia/Singapore) | SOTA Studio Theatre, 1 Zubir Said Dr, Singapore 227968
Bringing together five venerable performance artists from diverse Asian cultures, Last Rites is a brand new, cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary theatrical experience that confronts profound themes of endings and legacy.
At its core lies a soul-searching question: “If you could envision your last performance, what would it look like?” Through in-depth interviews with these five living artistic bodies – whose average age is 74 – the piece avoids a direct depiction of death. Instead, it traces back to their original callings, the courage they found in the face of challenges and their personal understanding of art, life and immortality.
Their narratives weave together a powerful life-tapestry of perseverance, conviction and heritage: from Yang Shi Bin’s profound bond with his mentor, Kuo Pao Kun, Jung Dong-hwan’s commitment to treating every show as the last one, Nam Geung-ho’s radical street performance and arrest, Kanji Shimizu’s visceral contemplation of life and death through Noh, to Didik Nini Thowok’s “empty glass” philosophy and his cross-cultural advocacy despite facing multiple discriminations”.
In the dialogue between the virtual and the real, imagination and projection, the stage becomes a critical boundary connecting the living and the deceased, the body and the soul. This work, presented by Emergency Stairs and directed by Liu Xiaoyi, asks a vital question: After everything ends, can an artist’s spiritual legacy achieve immortality within a live performance?
There will be a post-show talk with the artists after the 23 May, 2pm Saturday performance.

The Good Husband Series 1: Becoming the Man You Were Meant to Be
2026-05-23 09:30 - 12:30 (Asia/Singapore) | Al-Falah Mosque, 22 Bideford Rd, #01-01, Singapore 229923, Singapore, Singapore, 229923, Singapore
To every husband, father, and son carrying more than he lets on: This one is for you.

For many men, the journey isn’t always clear. There are silent struggles — the pressure to provide, the expectation to lead, to stay strong, the fear of falling short — often without a space to even say it out loud. Mental and emotional challenges are real, yet rarely spoken about. And yet Islam reminds us that true strength was never about suppressing what we feel. It is found in sincerity, in patience, and in turning back to Allah.

Al-Falah Mosque presents The Good Husband Series 1: Becoming the Man You Were Meant to Be — a safe, honest, and faith-grounded space for Muslim men to reflect on manhood through a deeper lens. One that balances responsibility with compassion, and strength with self-awareness.

Ustaz Sufian Hanafi will explore these realities — grounded in faith and guided by timeless principles.

A space for men to reflect, to learn, and to take a step forward — towards becoming not just stronger, but more grounded, aware, and whole.

VOICE OF ART 6: PAUSE TO BEGIN
2026-05-26 10:00 - 2026-06-01 22:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Ion Art Gallery, L4, ION Orchard, ION Art Gallery, L4, ION Orchard, 238801, Singapore
VOICE OF ART 6 – PAUSE to begin
​
​Voice of Art 6: Pause to Begin marks the continuation of our artistic journey in Singapore. Following VOA 5, “Roots & Wings,” which explored growth and foundation, this edition turns its focus to a timeless yet essential principle — the importance of pausing. At every stage of life and along every path to success, moments of pause are not only necessary but meaningful. They do not represent an end; rather, they offer a conscious space to rest, recharge, reflect, and realign. From this stillness, we move forward once again with renewed clarity, purpose, and intention, ready to begin anew with greater depth and direction.
At Be One Gallery, our commitment lies in supporting and promoting artists while fostering meaningful connections between artists, collectors, and the wider art community. We aim to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive creative ecosystem that celebrates diversity, encourages cultural exchange, and nurtures artistic growth. Voice of Art 6 continues this mission by bringing together both established and emerging artists local & international, showcasing new voices alongside fresh bodies of work. Through engaging activities and thoughtfully curated programming, this edition encourages dialogue, inspiration, and collaboration—further strengthening a dynamic community where art and culture thrive together.
One of the key highlights of this exhibition is the selection of three outstanding artworks by three participating artists in Voice of Art 6. This recognition is designed to encourage artists to continue striving for excellence, nurturing their passion, and expanding the boundaries of their creative practice. It serves as both a celebration of artistic achievement and a meaningful encouragement toward continued growth, dedication, and artistic evolution.
Another important highlight of the exhibition is the Young Artists Art Competition: Art for Tomorrow. This initiative is dedicated to supporting and encouraging students in Singapore who are passionate about art. It provides not only a valuable platform to showcase their work, but also a unique opportunity to exhibit alongside the professional artists of Be One Gallery.
More than a competition, this program invites young artists to immerse themselves in the wider art community — to experience, learn, and grow. With over nine years of experience in the art field, we consider it our responsibility to nurture and uplift the next generation of artists. This commitment extends beyond supporting art alone; it is about cultivating a vibrant cultural landscape and fostering unity through creative expression.
We warmly invite you to experience Voice of Art 6 —
​where art, reflection, and new beginnings come together in harmony.

Earthopia Fest 2026
2026-05-29 10:00 - 22:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Fort Canning Green, Fort Canning Park, Canning Rise, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore
Earthopia Fest 2026 returns for its second edition from 29 to 31 May 2026 at Fort Canning Green, bringing together youth, community groups, green businesses, artists and advocates for a three-day sustainability festival built around climate action, circular living and wellness.
Organised by City Sprouts, the festival will bring together 100+ content partners and engage over 5,000 participants through hands-on workshops, panel discussions, a conscious marketplace curated by Sunday Social and City Sprouts’ Farmers Collective, the Earthling Exchange showcasing green innovations and social impact work, art installations made with repurposed materials, and live performances by local artists.
Designed to move audiences from awareness to intent and action, Earthopia Fest 2026 makes sustainability more accessible by connecting it to everyday choices — from fashion, food and wellness to creativity, community and conscious consumption.
Earthopia’s art installations turn waste into visual storytelling, creating accessible photo and video moments while making circular economy ideas tangible. Highlights include:

Our Current Creatures – large floating jellyfish-like forms made from plastic, inviting visitors to look twice at what our waste becomes.
E-Fossil: A Warning From Our Time – animal-like fossils assembled from e-waste and industrial materials, imagining what future generations might unearth from today’s consumption.
SOAR – an upcycled bird installation made from discarded milk bottles, transforming everyday waste into a symbol of recovery and lift-off.
Scarecrow Guardians – playful fashion-based guardians made from repurposed clothes, created with youth and circular fashion partners.
Disposable Planet – a vibrant Earth formed from colourful fabric scraps, led by Fashion Parade, greeting visitors with a strong circular fashion message.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness
2026-05-29 10:00 - 2026-10-04 19:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 39 Keppel Rd, #01-02 Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore 089065, Singapore, 089065, Singapore
Singapore Art Museum proudly presents Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness, the first major solo exhibition in Southeast Asia dedicated to the practice of internationally renowned Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. Conceived in dialogue with the Buddhist cosmological concept of the Five Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void), the exhibition unfolds across five interconnected sections that loop into one another, mirroring the cyclical rhythms of nature and life. This elemental framework reflects Sugimoto’s enduring inquiry into time, perception, and the structure of reality.
Bringing together over 60 works spanning five decades of his multidisciplinary practice, including significant, new, and rarely seen works, the exhibition reveals the breadth of Sugimoto’s oeuvre across photography, sculpture, and large-scale installation. From his meditative seascapes to architectural interventions and contemplative objects, Sugimoto’s works delicately balance a strong material presence with a deep metaphysical inquiry.
Form is Emptiness offers an immersive introduction to the work of one of the world’s most significant contemporary artists. Moving between permanence and impermanence, visibility and void, the exhibition invites audiences to slow down and consider how form itself can become a vessel for reflection, and how, through Sugimoto’s lens, the material world becomes a mirror for the mind.

Strange and bewitching, Planet [wanderer] is the intriguing result of a collaboration between renowned choreographer Damien Jalet – a collaborator of Madonna, Thom Yorke, and Marina Abramović, among others – and Japanese visual artist and scenographer Kohei Nawa.
Both have a fascination for transforming shapes in space. In this dreamlike piece, they confront the bodies of eight dancers with shifting materials and textures, creating a visceral meditation on the bond between people and planet. Their bodies move back and forth like reeds, in a fragile balance between power and vulnerability, harmony and survival, destruction and evolution.

Ascent to the Bamboo Forest – A Dance Travelogue
2026-06-05 15:00 - 16:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Play Den, The Arts House, 1 Old Parliament Ln, Former Parliament House and Annex Building, Singapore 179429, Singapore, 179429, Singapore
Ascent to the Bamboo Forest — A Dance Travelogue serves as a rare window into a hidden geography of Asia: the mystical highlands of Northern Vietnam.
Following a 2025 performance-lecture, ARTS FISSION dancers Aisha Lozano, Marveen Lozano, Andine Elaina, and Ignatius Sim have since distilled their initial movement vocabulary into a triptych under the guidance of Angela Liong. The work is a deeply personal contemplation of the reverence for the land, the sincerity of communal rituals, and the Traditional Ecological Knowledge gleaned from their time among the mountain villagers.
In a departure from traditional scoring, composer Chua Jon-Lin facilitates a kinetic soundscape where the dancers utilise bamboo culms, leaves, and organic materials to generate a live, rhythmic score that breathes with the movement.
Step into this transformed clearing and witness a quiet beauty—a way of life and an ancestral wisdom standing on the brink of imminent loss.

STPI presents Zarina: Directions to My House, the artist’s largest solo exhibition in Southeast Asia. One of the most significant printmakers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Zarina (1937–2020, Aligarh, India; London, United Kingdom), was a key figure in minimalist and diasporic practice. Curated by New York-based independent curator and Zarina’s former studio manager Sarah Burney , Directions to My House offers a deeply informed perspective on the artist’s life and work, bringing together over 50 works from 12 lenders across multiple cities, reflecting her life that was profoundly shaped by numerous continents – having lived across Bangkok, New Delhi, Paris, Bonn, Tokyo, Santa Cruz, and finally New York.
