Contemporary Art Exhibitions at Singapore Art Museum
Singapore Art Museum (SAM) opens three new art experiences that play with scale and presentation formats. The first is a solo exhibition by Singapore artist Jane Lee, who expands the boundaries of painting through mixed media experimentations. The second is the inaugural edition of ‘SAM Contemporaries’, a biennial project highlighting trends in local contemporary art. Titled ‘Residues & Remixes’, this edition explores new technologies and features work by six Singapore-based artists: Anthony Chin, Fyerool Darma, Khairulddin Wahab, Moses Tan, Priyageetha Dia and Yeyoon Avis Ann. The third experience is the Southeast Asian debut of German artist Hito Steyerl’s immersive video installation, ‘Factory of the Sun’.
‘Lila: Unending Play by Jane Lee’, ‘SAM Contemporaries: Residues & Remixes’ and ‘Hito Steyerl: Factory of the Sun’ run from 18 May to 24 September 2023 at Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. Click here for more information.
Body, Community, and Society: She is House at 333 Gallery
Loredana Pazzini-Paracciani has curated an exhibition exploring the body in various ways: as a physical form and architectural habitat, and as a grouping, such as in a body of people or a body of knowledge. Featuring four artists, Mella Jaarsma, Maharani Mancanagara, Citra Sasmita, and Natasha Tontey, the works examine the intersections of body, gender and power in Indonesian societies, and how received ideas persist or are actively challenged.
The exhibition opened at 333 Gallery in Bangkok on 3 June and runs till 2 July 2023.
Look out for an interview with Mella Jaarsma in the upcoming CHECK-IN 2023 publication. More information here.
