SUMMARY:ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR – 18TH EDITION 2026
DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group is proud to announce the 18th edition of ROME INTERNATIONAL ART\nFAIR 2026\, taking place from July 08 to July 19\, 2026\, at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Rome\,\nlocated in the historic district of Trastevere. Hosted in a remarkable 15th-century palace\,\nthe exhibition brings together contemporary artistic languages from around the world\,\ncreating a dynamic platform where artistic research encounters the timeless cultural\nheritage of the Eternal City.\nExploring the relationship between body and space\, ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR\n2026 reflects on the ongoing hybridization between identities and cultural\, physical\, social\,\nand urban contexts in contemporary society. Through its two curatorial sections\, MIXING\nIDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES\, the exhibition invites visitors to investigate\nperception\, memory\, transformation\, and the evolving interaction between individuals and\nthe environments they inhabit.\nMIXING IDENTITIES analyses the hidden dimensions of identity through an immersive\njourney into the labyrinths of consciousness. At the same time\, FUTURE LANDSCAPES\nexplores the concept of boundaries – between body\, mind\, and spirit; between individuals\nand the city; and between space and ground – transforming everyday surfaces into fluid\nterritories of open and evolving ideas. Within this framework\, the selected artists offer\nunique perspectives on contemporary existence through deeply personal visual narratives.\nPresented as a compelling solo exhibition\, Giovanni Tozzetti’s “LONG WALK FROM\nAUSTRALIA TO ROMA – E ‘ndo so nato\, vissuto\, cresciuto e pasciuto” masterfully opens a\nvibrant dialogue between individual narrative and collective experience. The project\nunfolds as a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey\, bridging vast geographical\ndistances with intimate roots to explore how private memories intersect with shared\ncultural identities. Through this fluid interaction\, the exhibition invites the audience to\nreflect on the universal themes of migration\, home\, and the continuous evolution of self.\nRooted in a practice that explores the relationship between painting and photography\,\nTozzetti transforms observed reality into a refined painterly language\, preserving the\nimmediacy of the original image while emphasizing its symbolic and communicative power.\nGestures\, symbols\, and shared spaces become communication vehicles\, revealing how\npersonal narratives are continuously negotiated within broader cultural and urban contexts.

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:pbdq 排排
DESCRIPTION:A small shift in orientation\, and one thing becomes another. Like the letters p\, b\, d\, q — which become one another through simple rotation — each work in the exhibition carries traces of something that came before\, then landing somewhere new. In pbdq\, exhibiting artists Catherine Hu\, Cally Tan and Genevieve Leong revisit works\, materials and obsessions from past experiences\, revealing an intimate and sustained relationship with the physical\, visual and sensorial in their everyday life.  \nCatherine Hu’s process often involves recreating existing objects to explore the gradient between looking like and being something. One of her exhibited works\, Found Tile Stool (2023)\, is a stool made with stray mosaic tiles\, collected over three years from various locations: on the street\, in drains\, in nature parks\, at public playgrounds\, washed up on beaches\, in carparks\, or half-buried in the soil of a stranger’s garden. Perfect squares of colour shed from buildings that might no longer exist\, or from walls and floors that might have since been remodelled\, are repurposed and given a new lease of life.  \nCally Tan\, a textile-forward object-maker whose practice explores the representation of objecthood and potency in non-human matter\, presents Milky Way Finds (2025)\, a series of small items encased in double-woven pockets. Contributed by friends\, these items that have been tucked away\, accumulated\, and often forgotten\, represent traces and memories of their owners’ lives: a grocery receipt tucked into a coat pocket bearing witness to a loved one’s cooking\, an accumulation of sweet wrappers marking the rhythm of daily habits. Lingering at the edges of daily life\, they become akin to drifting debris in the Milky Way – also the name of the woven silk material given by its Nagano manufacturers in Japan.   \nan attempt at solidifying make-believe landscapes (2026) is a series of object assemblages by Genevieve Leong\, that draws from the nostalgic vocabulary of children’s imaginative play and ‘masak masak’\, or make-believe cooking. It follows an earlier print series An attempt at exhausting a place from my window (2020–21) of 26 variations of a landscape\, that explores various possibilities of looking at a single vantage point. Continuing this inquiry\, an attempt at solidifying make-believe landscapes extrapolates the two-dimensional landscapes into three-dimensional object constellations arranged on the ground.

SUMMARY:Of Light and Matter
DESCRIPTION:Of Light and Matter explores the relationship between light\, materiality\, and the natural world through a diverse collection of paintings\, mixed-media works\, and sculptural forms. The exhibition brings together artists whose practices are rooted in observation\, transformation\, and reflection\, inviting viewers to reconsider how we perceive and connect with our surroundings.\n\n\n\nNature is never merely a backdrop in these works. Mineral crystals pressed into paper\, mirrors casting full spectrums of colour\, figures reaching toward streaks of light breaking through storm clouds\, and landscapes distilled into rhythmic patterns all reveal the subtle interplay between physical matter and intangible experience. Through their distinct artistic languages\, the participating artists explore themes of renewal\, resilience\, memory and wonder.\n\nThe exhibition brings together nine contemporary artists from Singapore\, China and Japan\, each offering a unique perspective on the relationship between light\, materiality and the natural world. Participating artists include Daiki Nishimura\, Karina D. Simon\, Kim Xu\, Wang Jiang\, Yin Chua\, Zhang Qiao\, Zhang Yihan\, Zhang Ziheng and Zhu Feng.\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is presented by Y Art Project in collaboration with Art Seasons Gallery. Through this partnership\, the two galleries share a commitment to supporting contemporary artists\, fostering artistic exchange and creating meaningful opportunities for public engagement with the arts.

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:STPI Annual Special Exhibition  2026 | Zarina: Directions to  My House

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: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: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: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.
