39+ Art Space | Aki Hassan in 'Confluence of Culture'

Welcoming the late summer, 39+ Art Space proudly presents Confluence of Culture, a dynamic group exhibition featuring two local artists, alongside seven internation talents. Their diverse practices and experiences capture the essence of contemporary art. As a gallery dedicated to showcasing the works of both emerging and established talents from around the world, we are excited to continue our mission of introducing global artists to Asia while elevating Asian artists onto the global stage.

 

This exhibition reflects the core of 39+ Art Space vision: to create a space where art serves as a bridge between cultures, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives. It brings together a vibrant array of artistic voices, each contributing to a broader dialogue about contemporary culture, memory, and identity.

Towards an intimate level, the body of works from both Singaporean artists accompanies the tender process of healing. Sunaina Bhalla  (b. 1971, India-born Singaporean) activates textiles and embroidery to pin joys and sorrows in the same breadth of pain and surrender. Aki Hassan (b. 1995, Singapore) 's work is concerned by the varying forms of dependencies evolved within kinships and solidarity. They locate strengths, resistance, precarity and imbalances in exchange. 

 

Confluence of Culture is more than an art showcase; it is a celebration of the global dialogue that 39+ Art Space is dedicated to nurturing. By presenting a diverse range of practices and perspectives, the exhibition highlights the shared human experience and emphasizes the gallery’s commitment to promoting cross-cultural exchange.
