Visual Art: Dawn Ng’s ‘The Earth Laughs in Flowers’ unveils the universe’s secrets in masterful use of colour and the abstract

There is a moment, just after stepping backstage at Singapore Repertory Theatre’s KC Arts Centre, when the outside world falls away. The usual orientation of theatre-going is reversed: instead of facing the stage, you enter and are on it. Darkness settles in. Sound softens. And suddenly, you are no longer an audience member; you are inside a mindscape. The Earth Laughs in Flowers unfolds within … Continue reading Visual Art: Dawn Ng’s ‘The Earth Laughs in Flowers’ unveils the universe’s secrets in masterful use of colour and the abstract

Visual Art: Fourth edition of ART SG brings world class art to Singapore once more

January in Singapore has become a season of recalibration. The city’s usual velocity gives way, briefly to a slower rhythm shaped by exhibitions, conversations, and encounters that extend well beyond gallery walls. With the opening of ART SG 2026, now in its fourth edition, that pause feels intentional. This is a fair increasingly interested not just in scale or spectacle, but in process, dialogue, and … Continue reading Visual Art: Fourth edition of ART SG brings world class art to Singapore once more

If printmaking still carries the reputation of being secondary, thought of as editions locked behind glass, conceptually subordinate to painting or sculpture, STPI’s The Print Show & Symposium Singapore 2026 makes a deliberate case for its relevance now.

Playing at Theatre Practice’s Practice Space as part of the Singapore Fringe Festival, Berlin-based Taiwanese theatremaker Wang presents a relatively stripped-down setup: a desk, a laptop, a microphone, and a … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Theatre Review: Retina Manoeuvre by k*hole karaoke – Wang Ping-Hsiang
