Singapore Art Week 2026: STPI’s The Print Show & Symposium Singapore offers a deep dive into the productive disorder of print

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. Launched during Singapore Art Week, the initiative positions print not as a supporting medium but as a central, adaptive force within contemporary culture: materially rigorous, politically charged, … Continue reading Singapore Art Week 2026: STPI’s The Print Show & Symposium Singapore offers a deep dive into the productive disorder of print

★★★☆☆ Theatre Review: Retina Manoeuvre by k*hole karaoke – Wang Ping-Hsiang

Taiwanese artist Wang Ping-Hsiang explores the uneasy tension between nationalism and violence in a winding piece of anecdotal theatre. It is difficult to pin down exactly what kind of show Retina Manoeuvre wants to be. 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

Books: Ratna Damayanti Taha’s debut novel ‘Mind the Gap’ awarded 2026 Epigram Books Fiction Prize

The Amara Hotel ballroom is not where literary glamour usually lives. On this January evening, there are no red carpets or flashing cameras, just round tables, polite applause, and the low hum of people who care deeply about books. Editors, writers, publishers, teachers, and industry figures fill the room. It feels, fittingly, like what Edmund Wee later calls “the book ecosystem”. “It is quiet, unglamorous … Continue reading Books: Ratna Damayanti Taha’s debut novel ‘Mind the Gap’ awarded 2026 Epigram Books Fiction Prize

Visual Art: Kwai Fung Hin Singapore’s debut exhibition celebrates Monet’s garden and its afterlife

Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition in Singapore unfolds with an unhurried confidence. Located along South Beach, Worlds Beyond Reality – Monet’s Legacy II adopts a slower tempo, one that mirrors its central metaphor of cultivation. The exhibition does not simply trace influence from Claude Monet to Asian artists across generations; it examines how landscapes are made, tended, and inhabited, and how artistic vision … Continue reading Visual Art: Kwai Fung Hin Singapore’s debut exhibition celebrates Monet’s garden and its afterlife

Visual Art: NTU Museum’s “On the cusp” features new works inspired by memory, identity and transitions

Something about Nanyang Technological University’s campus feels different. By the lake, a pavilion hums with unseen histories. On a grassy lawn nearby, a sculptural capsule seems to have landed from another time. And inside a bustling student plaza, a familiar household object begins to behave in unfamiliar ways. This is On the cusp, NTU Museum’s latest campus-wide exhibition, where art inhabits everyday spaces and asks … Continue reading Visual Art: NTU Museum’s “On the cusp” features new works inspired by memory, identity and transitions
