SUMMARY:ANIMA MUNDI Solo Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group\, in collaboration with ACIT Venice\, is delighted to invite you to the opening of three remarkable solo exhibitions by Anthony Emerton\, Justyna Kubica\, and Rosita Fernandes. The event will be inaugurated on May 07\, 2026\, at 06:00 PM at the historic Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice\, running until May 13\, serving also as an ideal introduction to the new edition of ANIMA MUNDI 2026. \nThis event coincides with the opening week of the 61st Venice Biennale\, the most prestigious and vibrant time for contemporary art worldwide. To mark this significant occasion\, a triad of visionary solo exhibitions is presented\, featuring three compelling artists who have collaborated with ITSLIQUID for several years. This long-standing relationship has allowed for a deep curation that offers the public a chance to explore three distinct creative worlds. Within the baroque elegance of Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, a unique journey is proposed: from the silent\, balanced abstraction of Emerton to the structural distillation of Kubica\, concluding with the profound\, emotional reflections on humanity by Fernandes. It is an immersive experience designed to provide an authentic look at the international art scene during Venice’s most important week.

SUMMARY:Pressure Points by Lucas Tan
DESCRIPTION:Haridas Contemporary is delighted to present Lucas Tan’s (b. 2000\, Singapore) debut solo exhibition with the gallery. Working mainly in figuration\, Tan’s practice focuses on capturing small\, fleeting moments and sentimentalities from everyday life. Influenced by his engagement with image culture\, Tan constructs his compositions through orchestration and mediation\, creating works that feel both deeply personal and strangely relatable. Throughout his practice\, these moments form a visual language that reflects lived experience and broader emotional patterns. \nPressure Points features 14 new paintings that highlight this focus by exploring the various pressures shaping the artist’s life. Scenes of intimacy\, distance\, and quiet reflection unfold across the exhibition\, revealing vulnerability in Tan’s work as he navigates feelings of belonging and ambition. Rooted in autobiography\, the works examine the tension between revealing and controlling\, and between the desire to be seen and the urge to self-present. In this body of work\, Tan’s focus on the everyday becomes a form of introspection\, unveiling an emotional landscape shaped by negotiation\, aspiration\, and the complexities of modern life.

SUMMARY:You Free Hor? 你闲哦? - A Solo Exhibition by Agnes Christina
DESCRIPTION:“You free hor?” is both an invitation and a jeer – asking if one has spare time or sarcastically saying they have too much time on hand. This solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Agnes Christina is a tongue-in-cheek show exploring the shifting attitudes toward time – how we are filling it\, stretching it\, valuing it. In modern productivity-driven culture such as Singapore\, time\, including the spare ones\, must be justified. As time becomes currency\, the exhibition asks: do we own our time\, or does it own us? What does it truly mean to be free?

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:EAST OF ABSTRACTION: SHUHARI | SHIBUMI
DESCRIPTION:Whitestone Gallery Singapore is pleased to present EAST OF ABSTRACTION: SHUHARI | SHIBUMI\, opening on 24th March 2026. Bringing together five artists from China\, Japan\, and Korea — Katsuyoshi Inokuma\, Liu Ke\, Masayuki Tsubota\, Soonik Kwon\, and Tetsuo Mizu — the exhibition demonstrates the evolution of Asian abstraction across generations\, geographies\, and philosophical traditions. \nThe exhibition’s conceptual framework draws upon the Japanese principle of SHUHARI(守破離)\, a structure of learning and mastery that translates as “to follow\, to break\, to transcend.” Complementing this progression is SHIBUMI (渋み)\, an aesthetic sensibility rooted in restraint\, quiet depth\, and understated elegance. Together\, these concepts offer a lens through which to understand Asian abstraction — disciplined yet exploratory\, minimal yet expansive\, meditative yet intellectually rigorous.

SUMMARY:Palma: The Conference of the Palm Trees | Featuring Mehdi-Georges Lahlou\, Curated by Virginie Puertolas-Syn
DESCRIPTION:Cuturi Gallery is delighted to present Palma: The Conference of the Palm Trees. Curated by London-based French curator Virginie Puertolas-Syn\, this exhibition marks the first presentation in Singapore and Asia of Mehdi-Georges Lahlou (b. 1983\, Les Sables-d’Olonne)\, a French and Moroccan artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans drawing\, sculpture\, installation\, photography\, and performance. Over the past two decades\, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou has developed a poetic and critical visual language addressing questions of identity\, hybridity\, belief systems\, and the politics of representation. \nFor his inaugural presentation at Cuturi Gallery\, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou presents a body of work previously shown internationally and here recontextualised within Singapore’s cultural\, historical\, and ecological landscape. The project draws inspiration from The Conference of the Birds\, the 12th-century Sufi allegory by Farid ud-Din Attar\, reimagined through the figure of the palm tree\, one of the world’s oldest cultivated plant species. \nPresented in Singapore\, where palm trees are integral to the city’s urban identity and “garden city” image\, the exhibition introduces a critical distance from their decorative and symbolic function. Through drawings\, sculptures\, photographs\, and installations\, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou isolates and re-frames the palm as both subject and archive\, revealing tensions between nature and control\, visibility and erasure\, ecology and exploitation. \nPalma: The Conference of the Palm Trees will be on view at 61 Aliwal Street\, Singapore 199937\, from 7 March to 9 May 2026.

SUMMARY:Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega: Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest
DESCRIPTION:Artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega explore how the demands of a relentless extraction\, from plantations to electric futures\, cast a shadow on the very “breath of the Earth.” \nElia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega: Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest imagines the afterlives of materials that persist long after their use\, outlasting our time in this age of excess. Plantations\, mining sites\, and the promise of electric vehicle technologies become places where the stories of tomorrow are formed\, bound by Indonesia’s extractive economies whose resources sustain the pulse of today’s global demand. \nFrom the need for oxygen to nickel’s role in lithium-ion technologies\, from the cutting down of forests to palm oil’s many applications\, these materials represent the state of the Earth’s breath (Nafasan Bumi) today\, strained by extraction. The planet’s natural rhythms no longer move freely but are drawn into the labour of industry\, breathing through the exhaustion of a harvest that never ends. \nAcross the exhibition\, labour appears as both memory and speculation\, a rhythm shared by humans\, machines\, and the living world. Conveyor belts\, once emblems of the industrial revolution and the mechanisation of labour\, now hum to the pulse of tropical plants\, creating a continuous cycle of productivity. Nearby\, sculptures cast in palm oil wax evoke the stillness of carved stone yet resist ideals of perfection\, creating a dreamscape haunted by plantation residues. Others\, made from discarded palm waste\, hold the tension between fragility and endurance. \nTogether\, these artworks trace how human and non-human life have been enmeshed in cycles of ceaseless pursuit of productivity\, asking: What will the future shaped by these material conditions? Like the recurring haze that engulfs Indonesia\, Singapore\, and Malaysia during the southwest monsoon\, the Earth’s breath\, shadowed by an endless harvest\, lingers as a reminder of what extraction conceals and refuses to let us forget. ~

SUMMARY:Let’s Play! The Art and Design of Asian Games
DESCRIPTION:Games are among humanity’s oldest shared experiences – a source of joy\, challenge\, and connection for thousands of years. In Asia\, they have developed in remarkably diverse ways\, from the lively\, fast-paced rhythms of mahjong and congkak to the contemplative strategy of go and chess. They have entertained and educated\, reflected power and status\, and acted as metaphors for life. \nThis exhibition explores the rich history of Asian games and the role they have played in shaping culture\, identity\, and community. Some travelled widely\, taking on new forms and meanings across borders. Others became tools for mental training or expressions of artistic ideals. Even today\, they remain at the frontier of innovation – as seen in the rise of artificial intelligence. \nMany of the games on display are also works of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. As you explore the exhibition\, we invite you to discover how the act of play continues to inspire\, evolve\, and connect people across time and place. \nLet’s Play! incorporates playable interactives\, outdoor installations\, collaborations with schools and local game associations\, and a diverse line-up of programmes and talks.
