SUMMARY:Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage\, the first monographic museum exhibition in Singapore by acclaimed Filipino artist Maria Taniguchi. \nAnchored by Taniguchi’s ongoing series of “brick paintings”—large-scale canvases composed through the repeated hand-painting of brick-like forms—the exhibition explores recurring themes in her practice including repetition\, time\, and labour. \nAfterimage brings together Taniguchi’s key works across painting\, sculpture and moving image\, offering an overview of her multidisciplinary practice. Alongside the “brick paintings\,” the exhibition features a site-specific iteration of her Runaways sculptures and four video works produced between 2010–2026. From Java plum wood sculptures to video works examining memory and labour\, the selection reveals the conceptual rigour and quiet intensity of one of Southeast Asia’s most significant contemporary artists. \nPresented following Taniguchi’s first survey exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) Manila\, Afterimage invites audiences to encounter the materiality\, scale\, and rhythm through an intimate exhibition setting at their own pace.

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.
