SUMMARY:Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum proudly presents Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness\, the first major solo exhibition in Southeast Asia dedicated to the practice of internationally renowned Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. Conceived in dialogue with the Buddhist cosmological concept of the Five Elements (Earth\, Water\, Fire\, Wind and Void)\, the exhibition unfolds across five interconnected sections that loop into one another\, mirroring the cyclical rhythms of nature and life. This elemental framework reflects Sugimoto’s enduring inquiry into time\, perception\, and the structure of reality. \nBringing together over 60 works spanning five decades of his multidisciplinary practice\, including significant\, new\, and rarely seen works\, the exhibition reveals the breadth of Sugimoto’s oeuvre across photography\, sculpture\, and large-scale installation. From his meditative seascapes to architectural interventions and contemplative objects\, Sugimoto’s works delicately balance a strong material presence with a deep metaphysical inquiry.  \nForm is Emptiness offers an immersive introduction to the work of one of the world’s most significant contemporary artists. Moving between permanence and impermanence\, visibility and void\, the exhibition invites audiences to slow down and consider how form itself can become a vessel for reflection\, and how\, through Sugimoto’s lens\, the material world becomes a mirror for the mind.

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:Brandon Tay: Sangkalan
DESCRIPTION:Step into Brandon Tay: Sangkalan\, an evolving installation of a fictional island ecosystem where fragments of a “lost” coastal culture are shaped through three species — a fruit\, an insect\, and a bird. Together\, their rhythms of growth\, flight and song weave a vivid picture of how humans and nature might share perception\, memory\, and meaning.  \nTravelling across four regional libraries in Woodlands\, Tampines\, Jurong and Punggol\, the installation unfolds as a living archive that evolves with each presentation. Visitors can encounter new elements over time\, making each stop a slightly different experience. Through vibrant textiles\, sculptural forms\, and archival materials\, Singaporean artist Brandon Tay translates the island’s collective memories into a language of colour\, geometry\, and symbols. Echoing the decentralised logic of blockchain networks\, Sangkalan invites visitors to reimagine information systems\, their origins and how nature might inspire new ways of sensing\, connecting\, and remembering. \nBrandon Tay: Sangkalan is held in collaboration with the National Library Board. Through the Library showcases\, SAM continues to extend contemporary art beyond traditional museum settings and into civic and community spaces\, encouraging encounters with contemporary art in unexpected and accessible everyday environments. \nVenues: \n\n15 April – 31 May 2026: Woodlands Regional Library\n3 June – 19 July 2026: Tampines Regional Library\n22 July – 6 September 2026: Jurong Regional Library\n9 September – 25 October 2026: Punggol Regional Library

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:Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures
DESCRIPTION:With its dazzling feathers and spectacular tail\, the peacock has long symbolised beauty\, power\, and divinity across Asia. For centuries\, its striking form has captivated artists and devotees alike\, inspiring works that range from sacred images to everyday adornment. \nThe peacock motif travelled between cultures. Peranakan art\, shaped by the convergence of multiple influences\, is the starting point for this journey. Treasures from the National Collection and important lenders explore the bird’s presence in a broad range of artistic disciplines. Each object invites visitors to consider how a motif moved between regions and contexts\, revealing the networks that connect peoples and how artistic traditions evolve through exchange. \nThe exhibition presents these connections through colourful displays\, interactive stations\, and lively programmes. A new work by artist Ernest Goh explores the peacock in the context of its symbolism\, cultural heritage\, and ecology.

SUMMARY:Engage with history through art at Temple\, National Gallery Singapore’s first rooftop installation integrating kinetic motion and sound
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a meditative experience at Temple\, a new participatory artwork by Vietnamese-American artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen. Commissioned by National Gallery Singapore for its Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series and presented as part of Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention\, Temple invites visitors to reflect on history and contemplate the impact of war through a multisensorial experience that blends kinetic motion and sound – underscoring the Gallery’s mission to connect the art of Singapore and Southeast Asia to the world and foster critical dialogue on global issues through art. \nFeaturing bells and mobiles crafted from recovered and defused unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the Vietnam War\, visitors are encouraged to strike the defused shells\, gongs\, and chimes\, creating a meditative soundscape. Through this transformation of weapons of war into instruments of peace\, Nguyen inspires ideas of karmic balance\, reincarnation\, and the memories embedded within materials\, offering a powerful lens for healing and reconciliation. \nTemple is the eighth edition of the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission.

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.
