Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage
2026-06-19 08:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Singapore Art Musuem, 39 Keppel Rd, #01-02, Singapore 089065, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore
Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage, the first monographic museum exhibition in Singapore by acclaimed Filipino artist Maria Taniguchi.
Anchored by Taniguchi’s ongoing series of “brick paintings”—large-scale canvases composed through the repeated hand-painting of brick-like forms—the exhibition explores recurring themes in her practice including repetition, time, and labour.
Afterimage brings together Taniguchi’s key works across painting, sculpture and moving image, offering an overview of her multidisciplinary practice. Alongside the “brick paintings,” the exhibition features a site-specific iteration of her Runaways sculptures and four video works produced between 2010–2026. From Java plum wood sculptures to video works examining memory and labour, the selection reveals the conceptual rigour and quiet intensity of one of Southeast Asia’s most significant contemporary artists.
Presented following Taniguchi’s first survey exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) Manila, Afterimage invites audiences to encounter the materiality, scale, and rhythm through an intimate exhibition setting at their own pace.

CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
June 19 – July 03, 2026
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association,
is pleased to announce the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS, the second appointment of
ANIMA MUNDI 2026. The exhibition will open on June 19, 2026, at Palazzo
Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and will remain on view until July 03, 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.
In the works of Amira Yaakoubi, the female body becomes a site where memory and
desire continuously intertwine: through layered compositions and expressive gestures, her
painting gives shape to figures suspended between strength and vulnerability,
transforming the image into a reflection on identity and the female condition. A related
sensibility emerges in the photographic practice of Maciej Max Dominik, who reduces the
body to its essential form through black and white imagery and a rigorous control of light,
in which each photograph seems to strip away every superfluous element, allowing
movement and presence to surface in a dialogue where the body never appears fixed or
definitive, but rather constantly shaped by emotional and perceptual transformation.
Nadine Collado, instead, develops a practice driven by intuition and spontaneity through
abstract compositions that take form through layering, tonal variations, and free gestures,
creating open and mutable images that shift according to the viewer’s gaze, in an intuitive
dimension that resonates with the photography of Romina Calini, where each image
originates from an immediate response to reality. Light and atmosphere transform the
photographic act into a personal perception rather than a simple registration of the visible
world, moving between inner experience and a sensitive interpretation of their
surroundings.
The theme of waiting runs through the work of Paolo Cristiani, who observes airports,
hotels, and transitional spaces as suspended environments, almost detached from time:
his images transform the experience of contemporary travel into a rarefied dimension
where architecture and human presence coexist in silent balance.

A maneater has wreaked havoc on earth since time immemorial, luring men to their deaths. However, a complicated relationship between her and a hunter soon sends them on an emotional downward spiral like a cat and mouse game across time.
Inspired by the Southeast Asian folklore of the Penanggalan, Here is part of Chong Tze Chien’s ongoing research and exploration on the intersection of traditional Southeast Asian puppetry, The Finger Players’ puppetry methodology, and the martial art Silat.
This work-in-progress showcase comprises two parts – a presentation of the story and a dialogue session between the creatives and audience after the presentation.

CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
Venice | June 19 – July 03, 2026
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, Venice
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is delighted to welcome you to the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS. As the second chapter of the ANIMA MUNDI ART FAIR 2026, this exhibition brings together a diverse array of global artists during the 61st Venice Biennale. Hosted in the historic heart of the city, the event gathers a dynamic intersection of painting, photography, and performance, inviting a worldwide audience to explore the depths of contemporary creative research. The opening day will be on June 19, at 06:00 PM.

ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through everything, the subtle force that connects all forms of existence, from the natural to the artificial, from the visible to the invisible. It is the living pulse of the world, the rhythm that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal. Plato expressed his thoughts about ANIMA MUNDI in the Timaeus, describing the universe – “this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence… a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related”.
Today, this ancient vision returns with renewed urgency: ANIMA MUNDI is not just a metaphysical idea, but an intuitive recognition of the invisible energy that flows through every form, natural or artificial, allowing the planet to live, evolve, and transform. It is the hidden network that sustains ecosystems, connects human and non-human entities, and balances life across time and matter.
How does this universal energy manifest itself today? We invited artists, designers, and architects to take part in a collective exploration of ANIMA MUNDI, investigating the subtle correspondences between soul and body, humanity and nature, organic and synthetic worlds, wild landscapes, and urban architectures.

EXHIBITION DAYS
June 22 – July 03
Monday – Friday | 09:30 AM – 05:30 PM

Crosscurrents: Masterpieces of Mughal, Safavid, and Ottoman Art from the Musée du Louvre
2026-06-19 10:00 - 2027-01-24 19:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), 1 Empress Place, 179555, Singapore
From the 16th to 18th century, three great empires – the Mughals, Safavids, and Ottomans – shaped a vast and interconnected world across Asia. This period marked the height of their influence, even as European expansion reshaped global trade and politics. Within and between these empires, artists produced works of remarkable beauty that projected authority and gave visible form to power.
This exhibition presents one hundred masterpieces from the Louvre, drawn from royal collections and later acquisitions. Southeast Asian objects from ACM’s collection are interwoven throughout, bringing these traditions into dialogue and revealing the crosscurrents that connected distant regions.

This exhibition marks the second chapter of the ANIMA MUNDI ART FAIR 2026, a historic, regular appointment for Venice and a consolidated tradition that cyclically returns to light up the city’s art scene by highlighting compelling emerging and mid-career voices. This brilliant continuation follows the successful launch of the art fair’s first appointment, RITUALS (May 20 – June 04, 2026), which previously opened the season by showcasing more than 120 artists from over 20 nations.

In Conrad Schirmann’s painterly research, depth becomes a generative force from which
abstract landscapes slowly emerge from matter itself; built through layers and sudden
openings, his chromatic surfaces evoke contemplative states and inner dimensions.
The photographs of Charlotte Stoffels conclude this journey through images that preserve
fragments of time, subtle details, and delicate atmospheres. Her gaze focuses on a
discreet and unconstructed beauty that reveals itself within the intervals of everyday life in
a perpetual research for the invisible and the imperfect, where the vision of ANIMA MUNDI
fully emerges as a subtle network of connections between perception, memory, and
human experience.
CONSCIOUSNESS offers a cohesive journey through contemporary visual practices,

The Shape of Us Exhibition
2026-06-21 10:30 - 2026-07-05 20:00 (Indian/Maldives) | Oevaali Art Gallery, 10 Bussorah St, Singapore 199488, Singapore, 199488, Maldives
The Shape of Return exhibition on 21 June to 5 July, 2026, brings together fifteen Maldivian artists in a single, distilled narrative moving through myth, oceanic memory, ecological fragility, longing, and ultimately, return. The works now gather not as separate pieces, but as chapters in a shared epic.
The Maldives is a place the world thinks it knows: turquoise, pristine, suspended in paradise. The Shape of Return looks beneath that surface: at ancestry, craftsmanship, folklore, environmental vulnerability, and the ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity in a small island nation shaped equally by story.
Presented collaboratively by Suvãsthi, Oaga Art Resort, and Oevaali Art Gallery, this exhibition situates Maldivian contemporary art within a broader regional conversation, while remaining firmly rooted in its oceanic heritage.

Of Light and Matter
2026-06-26 - 2026-07-11 | Art Seasons Gallery, 50 Genting Lane, Cideco Industrial Complex #03-02, Singapore, Singapore, 349558, Singapore
Of Light and Matter explores the relationship between light, materiality, and the natural world through a diverse collection of paintings, mixed-media works, and sculptural forms. The exhibition brings together artists whose practices are rooted in observation, transformation, and reflection, inviting viewers to reconsider how we perceive and connect with our surroundings.

Nature is never merely a backdrop in these works. Mineral crystals pressed into paper, mirrors casting full spectrums of colour, figures reaching toward streaks of light breaking through storm clouds, and landscapes distilled into rhythmic patterns all reveal the subtle interplay between physical matter and intangible experience. Through their distinct artistic languages, the participating artists explore themes of renewal, resilience, memory and wonder.

The exhibition brings together nine contemporary artists from Singapore, China and Japan, each offering a unique perspective on the relationship between light, materiality and the natural world. Participating artists include Daiki Nishimura, Karina D. Simon, Kim Xu, Wang Jiang, Yin Chua, Zhang Qiao, Zhang Yihan, Zhang Ziheng and Zhu Feng.

The exhibition is presented by Y Art Project in collaboration with Art Seasons Gallery. Through this partnership, the two galleries share a commitment to supporting contemporary artists, fostering artistic exchange and creating meaningful opportunities for public engagement with the arts.

Meet At Eye Level
2026-06-26 10:00 - 2026-06-28 18:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Glasshouse, 136 Neil Road #01-01, Singapore, Singapore 088865, Singapore
Meet at Eye Level centres on our encounters with animals, those who share our daily lives, and those that live quietly within us.
Through ceramic and illustration practices, the showcase invites visitors to consider how shifts in posture, rhythm, and attention shape the way we relate to those around us.
Across the works, artists approach the theme from both outward and inward directions. The ceramic works focus on shared rituals of care, revisiting moments of dining through hand-built vessels. The illustrations turn inward, where the fragmented perspectives of horses reflect the complexities of identity and our ongoing search for self.
Meet at Eye Level invites viewers to adjust their stance and discover new ways of encountering animals, both beside us and within us.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!
2026-06-26 14:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Glasshouse, 136 Neil Road #01-01, Singapore, Singapore 088865, Singapore
We spend so much time chasing the big things in life that we often miss the tiny details worth holding onto. Whether it’s your fur kid, your favourite human, or that friend who somehow appears in every camera roll, carry a little reminder of them wherever you go.
Using shrink film, design and create your own pop socket and bag charm—tiny keepsakes inspired by the people, pets, and memories closest to you. Think of it as turning big feelings, fond memories, and even questionable doodling skills into miniature works of art.
No experience needed. Just come doodle with your friends, enjoy a drink from Glasshouse to keep your ideas flowing and leave with miniatures made by you — to keep or to gift.

Small Gestures: At the Table
2026-06-27 15:00 - 16:30 (Asia/Singapore) | Glasshouse, 136 Neil Road #01-01, Singapore, Singapore 088865, Singapore
Rather than being observed from a distance, ceramic wares are made to be used, lifted, and held, revealing their presence through weight, texture, temperature, and the irregularities formed by hand.
Small Gestures: At the Table reflects the showcase’s focus on physical closeness, attention to small gestures, and the act of slowing down to notice what is often overlooked. A single dessert course, curated by Glasshouse and served on chosen hand-built ceramic ware by @kiln_wanday (which participants will bring home after the experience), extends this attentiveness through flavour, texture, warmth, and pause.

pbdq 排排
2026-06-27 16:00 - 2026-08-08 18:00 (Asia/Singapore) | ShanghART Singapore, Block 9 Lock Road #02-22, 108937, Singapore
A small shift in orientation, and one thing becomes another. Like the letters p, b, d, q — which become one another through simple rotation — each work in the exhibition carries traces of something that came before, then landing somewhere new. In pbdq, exhibiting artists Catherine Hu, Cally Tan and Genevieve Leong revisit works, materials and obsessions from past experiences, revealing an intimate and sustained relationship with the physical, visual and sensorial in their everyday life.
Catherine Hu’s process often involves recreating existing objects to explore the gradient between looking like and being something. One of her exhibited works, Found Tile Stool (2023), is a stool made with stray mosaic tiles, collected over three years from various locations: on the street, in drains, in nature parks, at public playgrounds, washed up on beaches, in carparks, or half-buried in the soil of a stranger’s garden. Perfect squares of colour shed from buildings that might no longer exist, or from walls and floors that might have since been remodelled, are repurposed and given a new lease of life.
Cally Tan, a textile-forward object-maker whose practice explores the representation of objecthood and potency in non-human matter, presents Milky Way Finds (2025), a series of small items encased in double-woven pockets. Contributed by friends, these items that have been tucked away, accumulated, and often forgotten, represent traces and memories of their owners’ lives: a grocery receipt tucked into a coat pocket bearing witness to a loved one’s cooking, an accumulation of sweet wrappers marking the rhythm of daily habits. Lingering at the edges of daily life, they become akin to drifting debris in the Milky Way – also the name of the woven silk material given by its Nagano manufacturers in Japan.
an attempt at solidifying make-believe landscapes (2026) is a series of object assemblages by Genevieve Leong, that draws from the nostalgic vocabulary of children’s imaginative play and ‘masak masak’, or make-believe cooking. It follows an earlier print series An attempt at exhausting a place from my window (2020–21) of 26 variations of a landscape, that explores various possibilities of looking at a single vantage point. Continuing this inquiry, an attempt at solidifying make-believe landscapes extrapolates the two-dimensional landscapes into three-dimensional object constellations arranged on the ground.

ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR – 18TH EDITION 2026
2026-07-08 - 2026-07-19 | ITSLIQUID Art Space Rome
ITSLIQUID Group is proud to announce the 18th edition of ROME INTERNATIONAL ART
FAIR 2026, taking place from July 08 to July 19, 2026, at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Rome,
located in the historic district of Trastevere. Hosted in a remarkable 15th-century palace,
the exhibition brings together contemporary artistic languages from around the world,
creating a dynamic platform where artistic research encounters the timeless cultural
heritage of the Eternal City.
Exploring the relationship between body and space, ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR
2026 reflects on the ongoing hybridization between identities and cultural, physical, social,
and urban contexts in contemporary society. Through its two curatorial sections, MIXING
IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES, the exhibition invites visitors to investigate
perception, memory, transformation, and the evolving interaction between individuals and
the environments they inhabit.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyses the hidden dimensions of identity through an immersive
journey into the labyrinths of consciousness. At the same time, FUTURE LANDSCAPES
explores the concept of boundaries – between body, mind, and spirit; between individuals
and the city; and between space and ground – transforming everyday surfaces into fluid
territories of open and evolving ideas. Within this framework, the selected artists offer
unique perspectives on contemporary existence through deeply personal visual narratives.
Presented as a compelling solo exhibition, Giovanni Tozzetti’s “LONG WALK FROM
AUSTRALIA TO ROMA – E ‘ndo so nato, vissuto, cresciuto e pasciuto” masterfully opens a
vibrant dialogue between individual narrative and collective experience. The project
unfolds as a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey, bridging vast geographical
distances with intimate roots to explore how private memories intersect with shared
cultural identities. Through this fluid interaction, the exhibition invites the audience to
reflect on the universal themes of migration, home, and the continuous evolution of self.
Rooted in a practice that explores the relationship between painting and photography,
Tozzetti transforms observed reality into a refined painterly language, preserving the
immediacy of the original image while emphasizing its symbolic and communicative power.
Gestures, symbols, and shared spaces become communication vehicles, revealing how
personal narratives are continuously negotiated within broader cultural and urban contexts.

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.

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.
