SUMMARY:VOICE OF ART 6: PAUSE TO BEGIN
DESCRIPTION:VOICE OF ART 6 – PAUSE to begin\n​\n​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. \nAt 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. \nOne 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. \nAnother 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. \nMore 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. \nWe warmly invite you to experience Voice of Art 6 —\n​where art\, reflection\, and new beginnings come together in harmony.

SUMMARY:Spectres: They Dream in Time
DESCRIPTION:“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. \nThrough 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? \nLocation: Art Outreach\, 5 Lock Rd\, #01-06 Gillman Barracks\n22 May 2026 till 31 May 2026\n12:00 pm – 7:00 pm daily \nFind out more about the exhibition here: \nhttps://www.artoutreachsingapore.org/hearth-project/spectres%3A-they-dream-in-time-

SUMMARY:RITUALS - ANIMA MUNDI 2026
DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group\, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association\,\nis pleased to announce the opening of RITUALS\, the first appointment of ANIMA MUNDI\n2026. The exhibition will open on May 20\, 2026\, at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and\nwill run until June 04\, 2026.\nANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through all things\, the subtle force connecting\nevery form of existence\, from natural to artificial\, visible to invisible. Understood since\nPlato’s Timaeus as the soul of a living universe\, it returns today as an intuitive awareness\nof an invisible but active network that sustains transformation\, coexistence\, and renewal\nacross matter\, time\, and life. It is the underlying rhythm that links ecosystems\, human and\nnon-human entities\, and balances the continuous evolution of the world. Within this\nframework\, artists\, designers\, and architects are invited to explore how this universal\nenergy manifests today\, investigating the subtle correspondences between soul and body\,\nhumanity and nature\, and organic and synthetic worlds.

SUMMARY:Tang Maohong: Simplified
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is delighted to present Simplified\, a solo exhibition by the\nChinese artist Tang Maohong\, opening on 16 May 2026 at 4pm. This exhibition brings\ntogether a selection of the artist’s latest paintings\, developed extensively over the past\nyear following his relocation to Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia. It also marks his return to\nSingapore after his 2019 solo exhibition\, and twenty years since his participation in the\nfirst Singapore Biennale. \nTang’s new body of work reflects a significant development in his practice\, centered\naround explorations into the process of painting\, and its relationship with the result.\nThe act of painting typically results in two outcomes – the image on the canvas and the\nmixed colours on the palette. The works stem from the approach of mixing colours\ndirectly on the painting surface instead of using a palette. This simple gesture\ncollapses two planes into one\, creating a mutually-influencing relationship within the\nsame pictorial space. \nOriginating from a period of constraint\, this approach has been refined over the past\nyear into a more distilled visual language. Tang pares down his compositions to focus\non the relationship between the intended image and the residual colour. Deceptively\nsimple\, the underlying tension is withheld from the apparent harmonious coexistence\nof the two elements\, experienced only upon prolonged inspection. \nTang’s practice has consistently engaged with the nature of images and how we\nperceive them. He initially opted to work with animation for its ability to explore the\ninstability of images through time. Forms derived from the real world would morph\,\ndissolve\, and reassemble\, remaining familiar yet resistant to fixed interpretations.\nOver time\, this temporal process became increasingly condensed\, leading him back to\npainting. What once unfolded sequentially is now internalised\, with shifts and\ntransformations embedded within a single\, suspended surface. \nOperating between abstraction and figuration across different mediums\, Tang’s works\noften resist immediate recognition. His forms appear familiar yet elusive\, inviting\nsustained attention rather than instant interpretation. At the core of his practice is an\nongoing inquiry into perception – how images are formed\, how meaning emerges\,\nand how both remain inherently unstable. \nAcross two decades\, Tang has continued to refine and distill his approach\, pursuing\nthe same fundamental questions with increasing precision. This presentation marks a\npivotal moment in that trajectory. The new paintings bring together image\, material\,\nand structure into a tightly resolved yet open-ended condition\, where process and\nresult are held in balance. For Tang\, painting is not a means of searching for fixed\nanswers\, but a reciprocal process in which meaning emerges from the act of painting\nitself.

SUMMARY:Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2026
DESCRIPTION:Revel in the arts this May through play! The Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA)\, Singapore’s pinnacle annual performing arts festival organised by Arts House Group and commissioned by the National Arts Council\, returns from 15 to 30 May with a vibrant constellation of performances\, installations and encounters — from epic productions to engaging\, participatory works. Led by the call-to-action “Let’s Play!”\, SIFA 2026 invites audiences to explore\, experiment\, engage and be inspired by the arts. \nSoak in the Festival vibes at the iconic Festival Village\, which makes its return this edition. Free performances\, public installations and communal spaces featuring local artists such as The Observatory\, The Theatre Practice and Off Root Theatrics welcome festivalgoers from dusk to dawn\, on the Festival grounds and beyond. This year\, SIFA brings two large-scale and high-impact artistic experiences from the Festival Village to Nexus\, Punggol Digital District\, enthralling the community with a soaring aerial performance featuring artists suspended 25 feet in the air\, and a speculative theatrical procession full of colour\, texture\, movement and melody. \nLocal commissioned productions and international works take the stage to bring together a cross collaboration of cultures and disciplines. From spotlighting homegrown cultural icons such as Jacintha Abisheganaden and Dick Lee\, and the reimagining of classics such as Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler by the National Theater Company of Korea\, and Hamlet by Peruvian company Teatro La Plaza and its cast of actors with Down syndrome\, to dance-based productions that blur the lines of reality through holographic technology and stunning stage illusions\, SIFA 2026 opens up multiple pathways and platforms for audiences to rediscover the joy and significance of coming together through art.

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: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:The Living Room
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents its latest exhibition The Living Room\, as part of the final chapter of Collection Project: Communicating\, Convening\, Commoning—a long-term collaboration between SAM\, Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA)\, and Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA). Housed at SAM’s refreshed collection gallery\, the exhibition brings together performance-based works from the collections of all three institutions to explore how performances – fleeting by nature – can be remembered\, reactivated\, and carried forward through different forms of engagement. At its heart is a central question: What happens to a performance when it ends? Where does its liveness go\, and how might we make sense of what remains? \nFeaturing works by renowned local and international artists such as Ezzam Rahman\, Chuyia Chia\, Kim Garam\, Brian Fuata and others\, The Living Room presents a breadth of practices spanning live performances\, video\, installation\, performance traces\, re-enactments\, and artist-led activations. Taking inspiration from the living room as a space for gathering and presence\, the exhibition invites visitors into an evolving environment that is brought to life through activation\, conversation\, and exchange. By bringing together works grounded in lived experience\, The Living Room opens new ways of understanding how performance lives on through objects\, memory\, interaction\, and shared encounters. \nThe Living Room is showcased alongside Talking Objects at SAM’s collection gallery. Together\, they create a reflective space where personal and collective experiences converge\, offering insights into individual narratives and broader social and cultural conditions.

SUMMARY:Talking Objects
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Talking Objects\, its latest exhibition at the dedicated collection gallery. Drawn from the museum’s collection\, the exhibition explores how everyday objects – commonplace items\, familiar scenes and everyday representations — become vessels of memory\, meaning\, and emotion when seen through the lens of artists and their practices. Beyond materiality\, Talking Objects considers how even the most everyday forms can become instruments of expression. In the hands of artists\, the ordinary takes on new significance\, inviting us to look again at the world around us. \nFeaturing works by widely recognised artists from across Asia\, including Alwin Reamillo\, Suzann Victor\, and Christine Ay Tjoe\, Talking Objects showcases a diversity of artistic voices and practices\, while offering insights into SAM’s ongoing research into the material and conceptual languages of contemporary art in the region. These artworks resonate with shared human experiences while remaining grounded in the particularities of place and personal history. The exhibition invites visitors to slow down\, reflect\, and rediscover the quiet power of objects in shaping how we see and understand the world.  \nTalking Objects is housed alongside The Living Room in SAM’s collection gallery. Together\, they create a reflective space where personal and collective experiences converge\, offering insights into individual narratives and broader social and cultural conditions.

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.
