SUMMARY:“… AND WE HIRED A BLOKE TO FIX THE WALL”
DESCRIPTION:“… AND WE HIRED A BLOKE TO FIX THE WALL”\nSOLO EXHIBITION BY BEAST\nMarch 13 – 21\, 2026\nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, London \nITSLIQUID Group is pleased to present “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall”\, a solo exhibition by Italian street artist Beast\, curated by Luca Curci\, on view in London from March13 until 21 March\, 2026 at ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, in London. The exhibition brings together a selection of works from Beast’s most recent series\, exploring the relationship between memory\, history\, and the physical traces of time embedded in urban surfaces. Active since 2009\, Beast has realised over 200 urban installations across more than 40 cities in Europe\, the United States and Japan. His early practice focused on political and social themes\, often presented through satirical mash-ups of contemporary figures framed in gold and placed directly in public space. Over time\, his work expanded in scale\, moving towards large-format paste-ups and monumental interventions on abandoned buildings. Throughout this evolution\, the street has remained central to his practice\, conceived as an open and democratic space for artistic dialogue. In recent years\, Beast has turned his attention towards history and memory\, developing an ongoing body of work that places portraits of cultural figures on the walls of abandoned historical centres. These locations – often damaged\, neglected or left to decay – are not treated as neutral backdrops\, but as integral components of the work itself.The series “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall”\, which also gives its title to the exhibition\, presents portraits of influential figures from culture\, philosophy\, literature\, art and psychology. Among those featured are Carl Gustav Jung\, Philip Roth\, Jackson Pollock\, Albert Camus and Noam Chomsky. Rather than functioning as celebratory images\, these works present the subjects as enduring presences emerging from the material history of the places they inhabit. The technique behind the works is central to their meaning. Each piece begins with the wall itself\, which is first photographed in detail. The texture of the surface—its cracks\, stains and signs of erosion – is digitally overlaid onto the portrait of the chosen subject. The resulting image is then printed and installed on the same wall\, aligning imperfections so that the figure appears to surface from within the architecture. Image and wall merge\, creating the impression that memory is embedded in the structure itself. The conceptual foundation of the series is inspired by a statement from historian Howard Zinn: “If you don’t know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday\, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything\, and you have no way of checking up on it.” \nFor Beast\, historical awareness represents a form of resistance against manipulation and collective amnesia. The title of the exhibition introduces a subtle but deliberate irony. “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall” evokes the idea of a practical solution to decay\, suggesting that damage can simply be repaired or concealed. In contrast\, Beast exposes the wall rather than fixing it\, treating cracks and erosion as carriers of meaning rather than flaws to be corrected. Installed within the gallery space\, the works retain their connection to the street and to the abandoned environments from which they originate. Fragile and materially charged\, they invite reflection on the relationship between physical decay and intellectual endurance\, and on the role of memory in shaping our understanding of the present. \nOPENING\nMarch 13\, 2026 | 06:00 PM\nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\n253 Hoxton Street\, N1 5LG\, London\, UK\nOpening hours | Tuesday – Saturday . 11:00 AM – 05:00 PM \nRSVP\ninfo@itsliquid.com\nClick here to register for the event (free entry)

SUMMARY:TAF Conversation Series: Stephanie Comilang and Carolina Fusilier (With performance 'Attuning to Sonic Residue' by Carolina Fusilier and Fumitake Tamura)
DESCRIPTION:Conceived as the closing event of TAF’s inaugural exhibition Rituals of Perception\, this iteration of the TAF Conversation Series features a newly commissioned performance by Carolina Fusilier in collaboration with musician Fumitake Tamura\, followed by a conversation between Fusilier and artist Stephanie Comilang\, moderated by Xiaoyu Weng\, TAF’s Artistic Director. The program marks the culmination of TAF’s year-long research on materiality\, focusing on how contemporary artists engage the entanglement of material\, technological\, and embodied systems.Developed as an extension of Fusilier’s installation Inmortalistas (2025) and conceived specifically for the New Bahru School Hall\, the performance Attuning to Sonic Residue centers on a handcrafted device designed to capture radio waves and electromagnetic frequencies\, integrated into a wearable suit. Emitted in real time through a speaker embedded in the costume\, the sound transforms the performer’s body—and the surrounding artworks—into living antennae capable of receiving and amplifying invisible signals. The work frames the body as a technological interface\, rendering perceptible the constant exchanges between bodies\, architecture\, and technological systems\, and positioning active listening as a ritual practice. Approaching radio and technology from a narrative perspective\, Comilang’s video work Piña\, Why Is the Sky Blue? (2021)\, created with Simon Speiser\, unfolds through the voice of Piña\, a sentient AI shaped by ancestral knowledge. The work interweaves the stories of Amazonian women radio broadcasters\, Afro-Ecuadorian and Indigenous healers\, and Filipina spiritual leaders\, whose memories and ritual knowledge are “uploaded” into artificial consciousness.\n\n\n  \nFree admission. \nRegister for the talk here. \nVenue: New Bahru School Hall

SUMMARY:CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026
DESCRIPTION:CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026\nGennaio 23 – Febbraio 06\, 2026\nPalazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, Venezia \nITSLIQUID Group\, in collaborazione con ACIT Venezia – Associazione Culturale Italo- Tedesca\, è lieta di annunciare l’inaugurazione di CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026\, che si terrà dal 23 gennaio al 6 febbraio 2026 presso Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, nel cuore di Venezia\, in concomitanza con il magico Carnevale Veneziano. \nQuesta edizione riunisce una selezione significativa di artisti internazionali\, le cui opere attraversano temi quali memoria\, identità\, emozione e narrazione\, offrendo un’esplorazione immersiva del panorama visivo contemporaneo. \nCANVAS Art Fair si sviluppa come un dialogo tra materialità e concetto\, movimento e immobilità\, intuizione e struttura\, dando vita a un intenso scambio evocativo tra le diverse pratiche artistiche. Tra i protagonisti\, la mostra personale “Sculpting My Universe” dell’artista spagnola Blanca Martí\, curata da Luca Curci\, svela un percorso intimo all’interno del suo linguaggio artistico distintivo\, in cui colore\, texture e tecniche scultoree si fondono per trasformare storie personali e memorie in forme visive suggestive. \nL’approccio trasformativo di Bengt Linden eleva oggetti dimenticati ed elementi d’epoca a potenti dichiarazioni artistiche che intrecciano immaginazione e storia\, in risonanza con il rigore pittorico di Margus Veisveer\, il cui lavoro connette memoria e design attraverso la sperimentazione visiva. Le sue tele riflettono decenni di esperienza nella comunicazione visiva\, sovrapponendo chiarezza strutturale e gestualità espressiva\, dimostrando come la materia possa veicolare profondità narrativa e raffinatezza estetica\, invitando il pubblico a riconsiderare ciò che spesso passa inosservato nella quotidianità. \nQuesto dialogo prosegue attraverso il colore e il gesto con le composizioni di Renata Rolefes\, ispirate ai Caraibi\, che irradiano movimento e intensità emotiva\, traducendo luce\, ritmo e colore in tele pulsanti di energia e vitalità. Allo stesso modo\, Murielle Lacroix canalizza l’emozione attraverso il corpo\, utilizzando texture\, collage e segni intuitivi per dare forma a sensazioni interiori sottili\, sottolineando come la tecnica possa rendere visibili esperienze intangibili.\nLa pratica artistica di Pornobunny affonda le sue radici nella cultura queer e nella mitologia pop\, dove desiderio\, identità\, ironia e potere si incontrano e si scontrano. Attraverso sculture in resina progettate digitalmente e rifinite a mano\, l’artista trasforma il coniglio in un archetipo erotico e in un’icona contemporanea: giocosa ma radicale\, seducente e vulnerabile\, il corpo diventa una dichiarazione di libertà e autoespressione. Con una simile intensità cromatica\, Iraide Garitaonandia Bilbao affronta la pittura come uno spazio di intuizione e ritmo visivo. Le sue tele si sviluppano attraverso stratificazioni di pennellate e segni spontanei\, generando composizioni astratte cariche di energia gestuale e lirica. \nLa pittura diventa così una forma di scrittura: una traccia fisica di movimento\, emozione e risonanza interiore. La fotografia introduce un ulteriore livello di intimità con Lana Prins\, i cui studi sul nudo esplorano il corpo come presenza vissuta\, affrontando i temi della vulnerabilità e dell’autorappresentazione. L’attenzione alla luce\, all’inquadratura e all’immediatezza dialoga con le ricerche pittoriche presenti in fiera\, suggerendo come\, sia attraverso il pennello sia attraverso l’obiettivo\, la tecnica artistica media la percezione e la connessione emotiva. \nLe immagini di Prins entrano in relazione con l’intensità delle opere pittoriche di Antonio Basavilbaso\, che costruisce narrazioni urbane attraverso luci cinematografiche\, composizioni strutturate e contrasti cromatici\, dando vita a paesaggi figurativi carichi di tensione e riflessione. Nei suoi lavori\, l’interazione tra luce al neon\, architettura e narrazione crea un labirinto metaforico che riecheggia l’attenzione di Prins per la presenza e le sottigliezze percettive\, pur utilizzando strumenti espressivi profondamente diversi. \nCANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026 propone un percorso coerente attraverso le pratiche visive contemporanee\, mettendo in luce il modo in cui gli artisti negoziano il visibile e l’invisibile\, il personale e il collettivo\, attraverso tecnica\, materia ed espressione. La mostra presenta inoltre un’ampia selezione di video opere \nINAUGURAZIONE\n23 Gennaio\, 2026 | 18:00\nPalazzo Albrizzi-Capello\nAssociazione Culturale Italo-Tedesca (ACIT)\, Cannaregio 4118\, Venezia\nOrari di apertura | Lunedì – Venerdì. 09.30 – 17.30

SUMMARY:Dialogue of Differences\, presented by ART SEASONS Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Dialogue of Differences brings together artists whose practices confront the frictions shaping today’s geopolitical\, cultural\, and social landscapes. At a time when rising nationalist sentiment and renewed “war economies”— both literal and ideological\, seek to reinforce old hierarchies\, the exhibition offers a counterpoint through artistic dissent\, complexity\, and exchange. Rather than collapsing perspectives into simple binaries\, it opens a space where contradiction and nuance become modes of resistance. \nParticipating artists: Awang Damit Ahmad\, David Chan\, Lester Lee\, Umibaizurah Mahir@Ismail and Yin Chua. \nAll works are for sale.

SUMMARY:Rituals of Perception
DESCRIPTION:Tanoto Art Foundation’s (TAF) first major group exhibition Rituals of Perception will open on 21 January 2026 during Singapore Art Week. On view through 1 March 2026\, the exhibition gathers works born from intimate dialogues between body and matter\, unfolding through slow\, contemplative\, and iterative processes. Against the backdrop of digital acceleration and collective disenchantment\, the exhibition turns toward practices that reattune us to presence\, where every gesture and touch becomes a quiet act of resistance against an increasingly dehumanised sense of time. Staged at Singapore’s New Bahru School Hall\, the exhibition features works from the Tanoto Family Collection\, loans and new commissions by over twenty leading contemporary artists. Rituals of Perception is curated by Xiaoyu Weng\, TAF Artistic Director. During the opening reception\, artist Sriwhana Spong presented a new performance as part of her ongoing research\, presented in Singapore for the first time. \nTo learn more about Rituals of Perception here. \nLocation \nNew Bahru School Hall\, 46 Kim Yam Road\, School Block\, #02-02\, Singapore 239351 \nOpening Hours \nOpens Daily\, 11am-7pm \nSaturdays till 9pm

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.

SUMMARY:Boedi Widjaja: Immortal Words :: 字基
DESCRIPTION:Immortal Words :: 字基 splices poetry with genetic code\, meditating on the diasporic condition. Boedi Widjaja asks: if history is displaced\, how might it take up new space through the body? His 4-line toponymic poem spatialises as DNA nano-sculptures—lines\, circles\, cubes—released through a capsule ball machine\, with the microfluidic molecular writing process unspooled on video. A living\, participatory work realized with geneticist Eric Yap (Institute of Digital Molecular Analytics and Science).

SUMMARY:Metamorphosis: Curated by Syed Muhammad Hafiz | Featuring Jaafar Latiff\, Anniketyni Madian\, Meta Enjelita and Khairulddin Wahab
DESCRIPTION:Cuturi Gallery is delighted to present Metamorphosis\, curated by independent curator and art historian Syed Muhammad Hafiz. The exhibition brings together works by Anniketyni Madian (b. 1986\, Malaysia)\, Meta Enjelita (b. 1994\, Indonesia)\, and Khairulddin Wahab (b. 1990\, Singapore) in dialogue with the late Singaporean batik modernist Jaafar Latiff (1937–2007\, Singapore). Through new responses to Latiff’s ideas and material experiments\, Metamorphosis explores legacy as restless and evolving\, highlighting contemporary practices across the Malay Archipelago\, where art\, craft\, and tradition are constantly reimagined. \nCentral to the exhibition is Jaafar Latiff’s lifelong commitment to pushing batik beyond convention. Working on his own terms\, he expanded the medium through abstraction\, material experimentation\, and an unwavering belief in artistic autonomy. His contributions\, recognised through major institutional exhibitions and his role as an influential art educator\, position him as a pivotal figure in Singapore’s post-independence art history. \nResponding to Jaafar Latiff’s sustained innovation with batik and abstraction\, the invited artists engage with his legacy through both material and conceptual transformation. Anniketyni Madian\, known for her abstract sculptural works\, draws on Iban folklore and Sarawakian cultural memory\, embedding personal and ancestral narratives within universal forms. Latiff’s persistent exploration of abstraction offers a point of departure for her practice\, where beneath seemingly universal forms lie traces of identity\, heritage\, and tradition. Meta Enjelita work explores the entangled matters of materiality\, ecological and social structures\, and her latest textile-based installation works incorporate stylised Jawi calligraphy inspired by Latiff’s Unspoken Dialogue series. Applying her signature rust-dyeing techniques\, her works weave together traditional batik and calligraphic techniques into contemporary installation\, giving form to a mutual conversation between art and craft. Khairulddin Wahab’s practice examines post-colonial histories\, cultural geography\, and environmental narratives. Similarly drawing on cultural narratives surrounding batik traditions\, his latest work adds another dimension to his practice\, especially after his residency at Lohjinawi\, Yogyakarta\, towards the end of 2025. Instead of working with his preferred acrylic paints\, Khairulddin has decided to adopt batik-inspired techniques for his latest work – a commentary on the spice and nutmeg trade during the colonial era. \nTogether\, these new works showcase some of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic young artists\, revealing their critical engagement with art history\, tradition\, and material practice. By placing Jaafar Latiff’s works alongside those of younger artists\, the exhibition offers additional perspectives through which to consider his practice. Metamorphosis positions Latiff’s ideas as ongoing and open to reinterpretation across generations. \n \nMetamorphosis runs from 17 January to 28 February 2026 at Cuturi Gallery\, Singapore.

SUMMARY:From One Sky to Another by Melissa Tan
DESCRIPTION:Haridas Contemporary is thrilled to present Melissa Tan’s (b. 1989\, Singapore) upcoming solo exhibition in which she debuts a new series of paintings. Tan is known for her intricately detailed metal and resin sculptures\, with which she explores her long-standing interests in celestial mapping and mythology. In this new chapter — inspired by an etymological understanding of the word ‘map’\, which in old Latin referred to a piece of cloth — Tan unfolds her stories from the scintillant planes of her sculptures\, and transports them to vivid new worlds on canvas\, where hidden maps of constellations hint at a shifting landscape and story. \nIn marked contrast to the elegant and steely glint characteristic of Tan’s past exhibitions\, From One Sky To Another unfolds in vivid colour. Once incised into metal\, Tan’s cast of characters and their stories now inhabit worlds of flesh\, land\, water\, and sky. The palette of this series\, ranging from earthy autumnal hues to crisp and clear blues\, brings to mind the works of Renaissance masters such as Botticelli and Titian\, both of whom Tan referenced for their representations of Greek gods and goddesses. In other works\, looser brushwork and luminous colours recall the paintings of the Symbolists\, imparting an enigmatic cast to the subject matter.

SUMMARY:City Lines
DESCRIPTION:Singapore’s urban landscape is constantly evolving. City Lines showcases ten artists whose work examines the invisible lines that connect people to their surroundings—the emotional and psychological aspects of the city that go beyond its visible architecture. From the quiet beauty of watercolour cityscapes to digital takes on architecture\, and poetic views of urban life\, City Lines showcases the rhythm of Singapore’s spaces. Beyond capturing façades—the shophouse\, housing estate and urban forms\, the exhibition tells a story of the artists’ connection with the city\, the past and the present\, real and imagined. \nARTISTS\nAndrew Huang\nHeiko Schulze\nIdris Ali\nJeffrey Wandly\nKay Saputra\nMasturah Sha’ari\nMayang Sari\nSyazana Yassin\nTerence Tan\nYeo Jian Long \nHeld at Maya Gallery from 11 January to 11 February 2026\, City Lines will be part of the Singapore Art Week.

SUMMARY:Yao Qingmei: Steel Garden
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception : 13 December 2025\, 4pm\nExhibition Period : 13 December 2025 – 15 February 2026 \nSingapore\, November 2025 — ShanghART Gallery is pleased to present Steel Garden\, a solo exhibition by Paris-based artist Yao Qingmei\, marking her first major presentation with the gallery. Known for an interdisciplinary practice that bridges performance\, video\, photography\, and installation\, Yao examines how bodies move through—and are shaped by—structures of power\, public ritual\, and the choreography of collective life. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is Steel Garden\, her latest two-channel video installation. The work draws from the grand floral displays erected annually during moments of national celebration. Through a series of precise and lingering images—close-ups of flowers\, birds foraging among cracks\, weeds growing between paving stones\, the varied postures of visitors\, and the synchronised gesture of crowds during the flag-raising ceremony—Yao reveals the subtle relationships between individual action\, collective ritual\, and the constructed natural landscape. \nThis multi-chapter video work begins with news reports on specially cultivated festival flowers and culminates in a floating\, dust-like vocal poem from the artist’s own perspective. Drawing upon the concepts of the “moving garden” and the “third landscape” by French gardener Gilles Clément\, the work also references descriptions of pain and hallucination experienced by the soldier Pavel Korchagin in the Soviet novel How the Steel Was Tempered (1934) to reveal the biopolitical framework that underlies this monumental ritual. \nThe exhibition also brings together works spanning more than 10 years\, offering a contextual understanding of Yao’s sustained inquiry into symbolic gesture\, embodied practice\, and moving-image construction. Beginning with early public space interventions and documented performances\, Yao initially used video as a means of recording her embodied actions. Over time\, she has increasingly turned toward filmic construction\, developing a more deliberate cinematic language that positions her both in front of and behind the camera. \nThis evolution is visible in works such as The Third Internationale in Monaco (2012) and Dance! Dance! Bruce Ling! (2013)\, in which Yao performs as a protagonist navigating staged situations that parody ideological choreography. In more recent projects\, including Prelude to Love (2023)\, she adopts the role of a director\, shaping narrative\, movement\, and mise-en-scène to investigate how collective identities are formed\, reinforced\, or unsettled. \nAcross her body of work\, Yao Qingmei articulates a distinctive\, incisive voice within contemporary art—one attuned to the shifting dynamics of nationalism\, memory\, and public space in the twenty-first century. Steel Garden offers a focused yet expansive lens into her practice\, foregrounding an artist whose observations of ritual\, power\, and lived experiences resonate far beyond their point of origin.
