SUMMARY:Momentary Pulses: Art in the Central Business District
DESCRIPTION:Date: 30 January 2026 – 31 December 2027\nVenue: Various sites across Singapore’s CBD (from Raffles Place to Tanjong Pagar)\nAdmission: Free \nPresented by The Everyday Museum (a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum)\, Momentary Pulses is a public art trail that invites you to slow down and encounter art in the daily flow of life. Spanning overlooked and interstitial public spaces like linkways\, open plazas and MRT passages\, seven newly commissioned installations by Singapore based artists respond to the sights\, sounds and commercial pulse of the Central Business District (CBD) — turning routine journeys into moments of reflection and imagination. \nFeaturing works by Song-Ming Ang\, Finbarr Fallon\, Catherine Hu\, Zul Mahmod\, collaborative duo Teow Yue Han and Federico Ruberto\, Yang Jie and Immanuel Koh\, the trail reveals the textures and histories embedded within Singapore’s urban core. The works will be launched in two phases\, with the first phase featuring five installations by Song-Ming Ang\, Finbarr Fallon\, Catherine Hu\, Zul Mahmod\, and the collaborative duo Teow Yue Han and Federico Ruberto. The remaining two works by Yang Jie and Immanuel Koh will be introduced in the later part of 2026. Each installation is sited within walking distance in the CBD\, including stops near OUE Link (Raffles Place)\, One Raffles Quay (North Tower)\, Asia Square (Tower 1)\, Shenton House\, and Tanjong Pagar MRT (Exit G). Look out for kinetic and sound-based installations\, AI-driven works\, sculptural interventions\, and site-specific gestures that reframe how we perceive the city’s everyday infrastructures. Together\, these works offer distinct lenses on movement\, memory\, technology and transformation — encouraging new ways of seeing a district in constant motion. \nAs part of the public art trail’s opening\, The Everyday Museum launches Story Scape (30 January – 8 February 2026)\, a festival organised in collaboration with StoryFest. The festival extends the trail through exciting storytelling performances\, artist talks and an evening audiovisual experience at RASA Space. Programme details will be announced on SAM’s channels.  \n

SUMMARY:Crosscurrents: Masterpieces of Mughal\, Safavid\, and Ottoman Art from the Musée du Louvre
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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.

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:Shifting Images: Photography from Singapore 2000 - 2025\, Systems of Seeing\, Where Images Gather
DESCRIPTION:Artist: Chua Chye Teck\, John Clang\, Geraldine Kang\, Lai Yu Tong\, Bob Lee\, Robert Zhao Renhui\, Zen Teh\, Chow and Lin \nExhibition Period: 11 October 2026 – 10 November 2026 \n  \nPhotography has often been understood through the singular image—the decisive moment\, the iconic photograph\, the picture that stands alone. Yet meaning can also emerge through relationships between images. Through repetition\, accumulation\, comparison and connection\, photographs become part of larger structures through which we observe\, organise and understand the world. \n  \nSystems of Seeing: Where Images Gather brings together eight Singapore artists whose practices approach photography as a means of gathering\, classifying\, connecting and constructing knowledge. Across the exhibition\, images form collections\, inventories\, sequences and networks of relationships. Rather than functioning independently\, individual photographs become components within larger systems\, gaining meaning through their relationship to one another and to the structures in which they operate. \n  \nGeraldine Kang’s By Unit of Measurement (2016)\, extending from the gallery entrance into its interior\, introduces the exhibition’s central proposition: the ways we see and assign value are shaped by systems that are rarely neutral. Kang considers how people\, objects and experiences are measured\, while Under the guise of surface (2014) extends this inquiry into public space. Through a staged act resembling municipal maintenance\, Kang draws attention to how the urban environment is continually regulated\, maintained and represented\, determining what remains visible and what disappears. \n  \nQuestions of classification and authority continue in Robert Zhao Renhui’s A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World (2013)\, which adopts the language of scientific documentation to construct a speculative archive of nature. Lai Yu Tong’s Corners (1–35) (2015) turns repetition into a sustained exercise in looking\, transforming overlooked corners into a sequence shaped by duration\, constraint and persistence. \n  \nElsewhere\, comparison becomes a means of understanding larger social structures. Chow and Lin’s The Poverty Line (2010–2026) brings together photographs made across different cities to examine inequality\, allowing individual observations to become part of a broader comparative study. Chua Chye Teck’s Memories (2015) gathers discarded construction wire as traces of Singapore’s changing built environment\, turning accumulation into an act of remembering. 4 selected works from this series are titled Remains of Memories. \n  \nBob Lee’s Memory Blocks (2009-ongoing) similarly builds meaning through accumulation. Portraits of families living in HDB flats come together as a collective image of domestic and social life in Singapore. In John Clang’s Being Together (2010–2012)\, photography becomes a means of connection\, temporarily bringing together families separated by migration and physical distance. \n  \nZen Teh’s Un-knowing (2014) shifts these processes towards landscape. Combining fragments photographed across Singapore’s parks and nature reserves\, Teh constructs landscapes that appear familiar yet cannot be located in any single place\, unsettling the distinction between observing the environment and producing it through images. \n  \nAcross Systems of Seeing: Where Images Gather\, photography extends beyond recording what is before the camera. Through measurement\, classification\, repetition\, accumulation\, comparison and connection\, these artists reveal how images participate in constructing ways of knowing. The exhibition asks us to consider not only what photographs show\, but the systems through which they acquire meaning: what is gathered\, measured\, classified\, connected\, preserved or erased—and how these structures ultimately shape what\, and how\, we see. \n__________________________________________ \nSystems of Seeing: Where Images Gather is part of Shifting Images\, a series of exhibitions exploring the diversity and evolution of photographic practices in Singapore. Across eight exhibitions\, Shifting Images brings together different generations of artists and approaches to photography\, reflecting on how the medium has developed\, expanded and responded to changing social\, cultural and technological contexts. \n  \nCurated by Gwen Lee\, with curatorial assistance from Cavin Lim and Luna Chang.

SUMMARY:Source Code: A Solo Exhibition by Jemana Murti
DESCRIPTION:Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Source Code\, the second solo exhibition by Balinese artist Jemana Murti\, opening in October 2026. The exhibition presents a focused examination of Jemana’s evolving practice in response to his Balinese identity within modernity\, exploring the tensions between cultural heritage and technological advancement. \nRaised in a family of artists and deeply influenced by Balinese Hindu traditions\, Jemana’s practice is rooted in an ongoing engagement with the cultural forms and knowledge systems of his home. His work is informed by his interest in ethnomathematics and by the use of proportion\, repetition\, and spatial relationships within Balinese artistic and architectural traditions.  \n  \nIn Source Code\, Jemana brings these inherited forms into dialogue with technologies of the present\, using 3D scanning\, 3D printing\, and artificial intelligence to create sculptural works marked by deliberate distortions and “glitches.” These visual disruptions signal the inherent limitations of technology in replicating the cultural and spiritual significance embedded within these forms. At the same time\, he draws a parallel between the reverence once accorded to divine figures and the growing authority given to technologies that are increasingly perceived as “all-knowing.”   \nThis tension takes on a new material dimension in a recent expansion of Jemana’s practice\, through a series of bronze sculptures created in collaboration with Yogya Art Lab. The works begin as digitally reconstructed and warped forms\, which are then translated into bronze\, carrying the distortions of the virtual realm into physical form. The resulting sculptures bring together the instability of digital manipulation with the weight and permanence of bronze\, a material long associated with durability. Through this process\, Jemana brings a central tension within his practice into sharper focus: the fluidity of technological systems alongside the persistence of cultural forms\, and how technological transformation might nevertheless carry forward or reconfigure something of their cultural and material continuity.

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.

The selected artists draw inspiration from the evocative power of London\, exploring the connection between desires\, needs\, and fears through rituals that bring humankind to change\, transform and evolve their inner world. \n  \nThis inner journey opens with a meditation on perception itself through Burcu Yildirim Parlak’s “Traces of Light”\, which builds a layered terrain of gestural marks and pastel tones settling like imprints of memory\, fragments of experience surfacing through colour. Carina Rabelbauer pushes this exploration further inward with “Ajna – The Eye”\, an immersive field of blue and gold named after the third eye\, where attention turns from the outer world to the awakening of consciousness within. Read together\, the two pieces form a single arc – from the mark left by experience to the eye that learns to read it – establishing the exhibition’s central premise that awareness is felt through the senses before it is understood. \n  \nFrom this interior gaze\, the exhibition shifts outward to the body’s encounter with the city. Kijoo Bae’s “Lines of Silence” renders the rhythm of urban architecture in a striking black-and-white composition\, where repeated structural patterns become a kind of visual hush – quiet not as absence\, but as order. Lola Llinares answers this stillness with motion and noise: her “Traffic Lights” is a dense\, chromatically charged canvas that channels the pulse and friction of city life – hush and traffic become two faces of the same urban condition\, embodying the show’s inquiry into how the self is shaped\, and hybridised\, by the physical and cultural settings it moves through. \n  \nThe exhibition’s final movement turns to the human figures who inhabit this space. In “Véra\, Isabella et Julia”\, Karole Aubourg lets three distinct presences merge into a single earthy\, textured field\, suggesting how separate selves blur and layer into one another over time\, while Piotr Kulikowski’s “Light of Late Summer” captures a comparable threshold with  \n  \na vibrant\, fiery palette\, holding the fleeting moment when one season gives way to the next. Robert T. Rogers closes this sequence with “Bring It to Pass”\, a luminous work suspended between rose and blue that speaks of passage and becoming – a fitting counterpoint to Kulikowski’s seasonal turn\, both artists picturing change as something gradual\, almost atmospheric. \n  \nAcross these different practices\, a common thread emerges: the self is never fixed\, but continuously written and rewritten by light\, place\, and time.  Among the pieces on view\, the exhibition also features a selection of video artworks (see video program). \n  \nOPENING \nOctober 09\, 2026 | 06:00 PM \nRSVP: info@itsliquid.com \nFree entry – Register here \n  \nEXHIBITION DAYS \nOctober 10 – 22\, 2026 \nTuesday – Saturday | 11.00 AM – 05.00 PM \n  \nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space \n253 Hoxton Street\, London N1 5LG \n

SUMMARY:Pán 《盤》
DESCRIPTION:Pán《盤》\n\nWhat are we shaped by? Pán《盤》is an evocative two-part full-length work by T.H.E Dance Company’s founding artistic director Kuik Swee Boon and resident choreographer Kim Jae Duk\, inspired by their shared and distinct cultural roots. Drawing from the Chinese creation myth of Pangu\, a fabled being whose body fragments into various elements of nature\, Pán《盤》 explores the continual meeting\, merging and evolution of cultures. Rich in meaning\, the Chinese title\, “盤” is commonly used across Mandarin-speaking cultures\, while also found in the native vocabularies of the Koreans\, Japanese and Vietnamese. Set to music by acclaimed Taiwanese musician Wang Yu-Jun and Kim Jae Duk’s original composition\, Pán《盤》is a testament to the beauty of cultural exchange and the richness it brings to artistic expression. Featuring guest artists Tung Ka Wai and Wheelsmith with diverse backgrounds\, the work continually evolves\, offering fresh perspectives and new dimensions as it invites audiences to discover how a shared positionality can emerge in our contemporary world. Originally commissioned by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre\, Pán《盤》first premiered at the Cultural Extravaganza 2021 as a livestream before receiving the Best Performance award at the Asian Arts Awards during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, and travelling internationally to Germany\, Italy\, China\, South Korea\, and Malaysia in multiple forms. Five years later\, the work finally returns home for its long-awaited Singapore live premiere. Pán《盤》invites audiences to reflect on a shared humanity beyond personal identity. Don’t miss this award-winning performance as T.H.E closes its 2026 season. There will be a post-show dialogue for both shows. In the spirit of championing diverse-ability artistry\, Audio description and creative captioning by Access Path Productions will be available for the Friday matinee\, with a subsidised ticket price of $25 for Persons With Disability (PWDs) and schools.

SUMMARY:Of Particles & Particularities by Aiman
DESCRIPTION:Alongside a profound journey into parenthood\, Aiman (b.1984\, Singapore) debuts Of Particles & Particularities at Haridas Contemporary. Featuring ten large-scale paintings that explore narrative identity\, the works piece together a contemplative landscape formed over time. Through a gradual assemblage of memory and experience gleaned from hindsight\, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider how personal histories shape our perception of space. \nDescribing his current series as “self-portraits without figures\,” Aiman constructs fragments of both encountered and imagined destinations\, ranging from vast deserts and imposing mountains to the shifting boundaries of the sea and sky. The artist approaches the work through two distinct lenses. First\, he examines the “particles of matter” that comprise the physical environments we recognize. In tandem\, he maps the “particularities of origin stories”—an ever-evolving intersection of memories\, histories\, relationships\, and desires that ground our existence. By merging the micro-elements of nature with the macro-elements of human emotion\, the collection captures the subtle existential nuances to which we are all uniquely attuned.

SUMMARY:Considering Matthew Shepard
DESCRIPTION:The Chorallective presents the Singapore premiere of Considering Matthew Shepard\, a groundbreaking 21st-Century fusion oratorio by Craig Hella Johnson (USA)\, originally written in response to real-life events surrounding the titular character. \n\n\n\nWith music serving as a vehicle for moving beyond tragedy and into understanding and healing\, Considering Matthew Shepard is a fusion oratorio that emphasizes on building emotional resilience through music-making as a community\, and fostering a culture of empathy that transcends differences. \nBlending classical choral writing with other genres of musical theatre\, opera\, literary arts (spoken word)\, pop\, blues and country music\, with a libretto that integrates a collection of text influenced by poetry\, journalism\, and artifacts\, Considering Matthew Shepard is a phenomenal crossover of musical styles that defies strict categorization\, and thus reflecting the “everyman” nature of the story and the lessons learnt. \n\n\n\nLed by Choy Siew Woon (Artistic Director) and Seong Hui Xuan (Stage Director)\, the performance is a gripping\, transformative exploration of universal themes — of mutual respect\, grief management\, anti-violence\, social justice and the restorative power of community. The music finds its methods of expression in deep feeling\, at once moving and galvanising. It’s everything we find we believe in time and again: the power of music and language combined and concentrated\, enough to fill the expanse of a night sky. \nCome and hear this story of us all.
