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

Visual Art: Kim Association presents ‘Alliance’ – Shuang Li’s first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia

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
