Visual Art: Ibrahim Mahama’s Digging Stars makes art of care and caring

Ibrahim Mahama’s Digging Stars unfolds not only as an exhibition, but as a proposition for how art might be made, shared, and sustained under conditions of structural inequality and scarcity. While the works on view trace material histories of colonialism, trade, and industrial labour, the exhibition also gestures toward a broader set of questions: where does art take place, who is it for, and what … Continue reading Visual Art: Ibrahim Mahama’s Digging Stars makes art of care and caring

Visual Art: Wan Hai Hotel – Singapore Strait turns the Warehouse Hotel into living art

For twelve days in January, The Warehouse Hotel ceases to function merely as a site of transit and hospitality. Instead, it becomes something more porous, more unstable, and more alive. As part of Singapore Art Week 2026, Wan Hai Hotel: Singapore Strait transforms the hotel lobby into a speculative maritime commons, one in which performance, sound, moving image, and object-based works unfolded not as static … Continue reading Visual Art: Wan Hai Hotel – Singapore Strait turns the Warehouse Hotel into living art

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

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

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
