Walking down Singapore’s River Valley, it’s easy to forget how strange our sense of place has become. Trains arrive on time. Screens glow steadily. News of floods, fires, and storms elsewhere scrolls past in real time, absorbed between meetings and meals. It’s precisely this dissonance—between speed and stillness, proximity and distance—that artist Shuang Li taps into with Alliance, her first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia, … Continue reading Visual Art: Kim Association presents ‘Alliance’ – Shuang Li’s first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia

Visual Art: Yanyun Chen and Dave Lim’s ‘Rotan Rattan – Meditations’ at Esplanade Tunnel

In Singapore, childhood discipline occupies a peculiar and uneasy place in collective memory. Rooted in the belief that hardship cultivates virtue, physical discipline was long distinguished from punishment. It was framed as care, as moral instruction, as a necessary measure for shaping obedience and respectability. Yet for those who experienced it, the body remembers pain before it remembers reason. In their new exhibition, artists Yanyun … Continue reading Visual Art: Yanyun Chen and Dave Lim’s ‘Rotan Rattan – Meditations’ at Esplanade Tunnel

Visual Art: National Gallery Singapore’s ‘Fear No Power – Women Imagining Otherwise’

There is an intriguing double meaning embedded in the title of National Gallery Singapore’s latest exhibition. Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise is not only an act of defiance against entrenched systems of authority; it is also a quiet injunction directed inward. To fear no power is to recognise one’s own capacity to act, imagine, and effect change. Across five artistic practices, the exhibition foregrounds … Continue reading Visual Art: National Gallery Singapore’s ‘Fear No Power – Women Imagining Otherwise’
