This week, acclaimed sculptor Dale Chihuly’s first major exhibition in Asia finally opens at Gardens by the Bay – ogle his fantastical large-scale sculptures (all fashioned out of blown glass) set amidst natural flora. While over at STPI Gallery, prolific Singapore artist Suzann Victor stages a solo show exploring the different sound qualities of water. Finally, beloved Singapore theatre outfit Checkpoint Theatre debuts its first digital concert, helmed by virtuoso Weish, who has re-imagined the company’s classic tracks.

VISIT GARDENS BY THE BAY FOR SOME MAJOR GLASS ART

Acclaimed American glass artist Dale Chihuly is putting on his first major garden exhibition in Asia. Titled Dale Chihuly: Glass in Bloom, more than 100 of his signature large-scale glass sculptures (some measure up to 10 metres tall and weigh up to 3,600 kg) will be exhibited at Gardens by the Bay – more specifically, the conservatories as well as Outdoor Gardens and gallery.

If you’re not familiar with the artist, he’s long been hailed as one of a pioneer in glass art since the ’70s for transcending the realm of blown glass into large-scale, nature-inspired artworks – making Gardens by the Bay an ideal location to showcase them, probably. Some of the artworks on display are pretty rare. Take the installation Moon, for example, which was last shown at Jerusalem more than 20 years ago.

HEAD DOWN TO STPI GALLERY FOR AN IMMERSIVE EXHIBITION

In the early days of the pandemic last year,  a group of international contemporary galleries banded together to discuss how to navigate the new challenges of the crisis as it affected the artists on their roster, their staff and businesses, serving as a supportive community during an extra difficult period.

As an expression of this unity, the group started Galleries Curate, a collaborative exhibition by 21 galleries around the world to express the dynamic dialogue between their individual programmes. For the Singapore leg of this international exhibition, STPI – Creative Workshop & Gallery has enlisted celebrated artist Suzann Victor (FYI she was the first female artist to represent Singapore at the Venice Biennale) to put on a solo show titled Of Waters.

The immersive and interactive exhibition brings together three seminal works by Victor that all explore the different (sound) qualities of water, an element Victor is obsessed with. For example, the physical installation and online presentation Fire Water (pictured here, in collaboration with artist Martin Kirkwood) offers a dark room in which the audience plays with different sounds.

More details here.

On now till May 9, STPI – Creative Workshop & Gallery, 41 Robertson Quay

SUPPORT LOCAL THEATRE

If you’re not familiar with Checkpoint Theatre, the homegrown outfit is known for its honest and touching portrayal of Singapore stories and landscapes. After nearly two decades of telling original Singapore stories, the company is now presenting its first-ever digital concert The Music of Checkpoint Theatre.

It makes sense; no play or production is complete without an accompanying soundtrack. The concert presents seven tracks from their repertoire – updated and re-imagined by their associate artist and one of our favourite musicians Weish (pictured), with the accompaniment of a dazzling nine-piece band. Directed by Huzir Sulaiman and James Khoo, The Music of Checkpoint Theatre makes for a great respite if you’re feeling out of sorts and need a boost of (aural) beauty to get things going.

Get your tickets here.

On now till May 9
