[Galleries' Exhibitions]
[NEW]

FOST Gallery [Blk 1]
In Its Place
20 September - 10 November 2019

FOST Gallery is delighted to present In Its Place. Works from Elaine Navas, Jimmy Ong, Ezzam Rahman and Wyn-Lyn Tan will proffer both long-held views and new perspectives on still-life.
The golden age of the genre may date back to 17th century Netherlands, but the deliberate act of arranging objects to make a coherent composition and narrative is even more relevant in this social media age. The spatial relationship between objects is also a metaphor for human relationships, where each has a role to play in order for things to fall into place.

Mizuma Gallery [Blk 22]

Yeo Workshop [Blk 47]
A Journey of Forking Paths by Maryanto
20 September - 27 October 2019

Hauntingly dark yet beautiful, Maryanto’s black and white landscape paintings capture the devastating effects of postcolonialism and industrial exploitation of natural resources. Subverting the traditional romantic language of Southeast Asian paintings, his hyperreal scenes of destruction are created through a vigorous and tedious process, carving each stroke with a scalpel.

Arin Rungjang: They Beat Your Father
4 Aug - 30 Nov 2019

Arin Rungjang: Shooting an Elephant and The Leader [Blk 7]
4 Aug - 26 Sep 2019

The work, first presented in Shanghai Biennale 2018, traces back both personal narrative and social history crossing different time periods, cultures, and languages. The artist sheds light on the memories of two people who lived in Myanmar at distinct times, taking references from George Orwell’s famous essay “Shooting an Elephant”, as well as the accounts of Watuze Ali, a man of Bengali descent born in Myanmar.

Yavuz Gallery [Blk 9]
Keb Cerda, Dahlia
24 Aug - 22 Sep

In Keb Cerda’s latest solo exhibition, Dahlia, the artist presents a new set of paintings and launches a new virtual game in his continuing exploration of integrating traditional art forms and new media, virtual reality, and gaming platforms. Dahlia takes us into a world of dark alleys and sinister parks, visualised dramatically under a blue and purple-tinted twilight. The game plays around notions of heightened and omnipresent surveillance in the technologically-dominated era, and works around these concepts through the classic contrast between light and dark but invigorated by the interactivity brought by mobile application. Dahlia is yet another social commentary among Cerda’s oeuvre incorporated with humour and fun-filled experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional painting. The exhibition is curated by Ruel Caasi.

Yavuz Gallery [at pop-up, Blk 9 #02-21]
Working Animals Seabound

Working Animals Seabound is a group exhibition featuring the works of Filipino artist collective The Working Animals Art Projects.

The exhibition is curated by Ruel Caasi.

[Blk 43]

Considered a leading figure in art in public space, Armajani merges architecture and conceptual art in his sculptures, drawings, public installations that range from bridges to gardens, and outdoor structures such as gazebos for public use. His intrinsically interdisciplinary works dwell on political, social, economic, philosophical, and metaphysical considerations, inspired by democratic ideals and values, as well as American vernacular architecture.

In The Vitrine: Nguyen Trinh Thi Landscape Series #1, 2013 [Blk 43]
28 May – 22 September 2019

Exploring the idea of landscapes as silent witnesses to history, Artist Nguyen Trinh Thi collects hundreds of images depicting anonymous subjects pointing towards seemingly nondescript landscapes. Taken by innumerable Vietnamese press photographers, the photos show people indicating a bygone incident. The land bears witness to the volatile changes in our geo-political, cultural, and social systems, while questioning how unsustainable practices affect the environment. Does a landscape harbour ill-feelings towards incidents that have harmed it? If it could break its silence, what forgotten narratives and unspoken histories would it reveal?
