SUMMARY:You Are Fire: A Live Performance of Sayat Nova Outtakes
DESCRIPTION:You Are Fire: A Live Performance of Sayat Nova Outtakes \nJanuary 16\, 2026 | 8:00 PM – 9:40 PM | Friday\nJanuary 17\, 2026 | 5:00 PM – 6:40 PM | Saturday \nYou Are Fire is a collaborative project envisioned by Elvin Brandhi and Daniel Bird. \nThis live film-performance reworks newly scanned 35mm outtakes and screen tests from the shooting of Sergei Parajanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates or Sayat Nova (1969) into 15 film miniatures. Originally conceived as a film-poem about the life of the poet-ashugh\, Arutin Sayadyan\, each miniature grows out of textures – Armenian\, Georgian and Azeri architecture\, landscapes and objects – enabling the authenticity of an era to emerge. Using Tigran Mansurian and Yuri Sayadian’s original soundtrack as raw material\, the musical heritage of Sayat Nova is brought to the fore\, reimagining a performance by an ashugh\, or singer-poet bard\, at the early 21st-century crossroads of analogue and digital media. \nReconciling West and East\, You Are Fire explores Armenia as Europe’s avant-garde in Asia. The performance project is developed from the installation Temple of Cinema #1: Sayat Nova Outtakes. In 2019\, it opened Art Directions at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Originally a collaboration between the Armenian Cinema Foundation in Yerevan and Fixafilm in Poland\, it formed part of a restoration programme\, the Hamo Bek-Nazarov Project\, encompassing archives and institutions from the South Caucasus\, Central Asia and Ukraine. \nWorking with both archival footage and audio samples\, Brandhi and Bird subject the working materials of The Colour of Pomegranates to decollage and collage\, resulting in a profane\, live\, shadow-film\, where the subconscious is brought to the fore\, along with all that was repressed or denied\, not just by the Soviet censor\, but Parajanov himself. \nYou Are Fire – Research\, Practice and Process\nSaturday\, 17 January 2026\, 2 – 3 pm | Oldham Theatre \nIn 2018\, Daniel Bird began work on a project involving the scanning\, cataloguing and studying of approximately one hundred cans of film held by the National Archives of Armenia\, featuring outtakes\, screen and camera tests from Sergei Parajanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates (1969). Through this process\, You Are Fire: A Live Performance of Sayat Nova Outtakes was created\, a live audio-visual performance that breathes new life into the rediscovered material. \nDaniel Bird\, the guest curator of the Retrospective: Sergei Parajanov at the Asian Film Archive\, will share more about his research journey\, creative process\, and vision behind this unique work. Discover how film fragments\, readings\, and archival documents from film scripts and telegrams are combined to present this work that reimagines Parajanov’s iconic The Colour of Pomegranates. \n

SUMMARY:Jochen Mühlenbrink: Untaped Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cuturi Gallery is pleased to present Untaped\, a new solo exhibition by German painter Jochen Mühlenbrink (b. 1980). Bringing together works developed during his 2025 residency with the gallery\, the exhibition marks his return to Singapore following his earlier presentation with the gallery\, AIR. In Untaped\, Mühlenbrink deepens his ongoing inquiry into illusion\, perception\, and painterly deception\, expanding on his tape series while drawing continued resonance from the atmospheric ambiguity of his Window Paintings. \nAcross the exhibition\, strips of tape\, torn\, curling at the ends\, become the real focus. Tape layered over fogged windows both conceals and transforms what lies beneath\, inviting the viewer into a playful investigation. The works are highly technical yet poetic\, conceptual\, and rooted in the materiality of lived experience. Mühlenbrink’s practice focuses on that brief shift in perception: when what seems familiar reveals itself differently. \nUntaped by Jochen Mühlenbrink will be on view at 61 Aliwal Street\, Singapore 199937 from 29 November 2025 to 3 January 2026.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.
