The ArtScience Museum is inviting audiences to discover hidden spaces within its unique architecture with a new programme named ArtScience Encounters. It is essentially a series of  artworks, happenings, and sensorial experiences conceived by artists based on their interpretation of each site, and kicking off the programme is artist, composer, pianist, and producer Kin Leonn. The latter has created a 20-minute looping immersive soundscape in response to the Museum’s Oculus (the giant outdoor water feature). Titled Ceaseless Benevolence In The Eye Of The Cascade, the work re-imagines the central waterfall of the Oculus as a spring of life that charts the imprint of time.

March 31-July 2, 10am- 7pm at the ArtScience Museum’s Oculus at Basement 2 

Film buffs are in for a true treat; The Projector is putting on a special screening of Salome, an Art Nouveau cult classic piece that loosely adapts the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist at the request of Herod’s stepdaughter, Salome, whom he lusts after. The silent film, which dates back to 1922, will be screened only once but that’s not all. It’ll also be accompanied by a live-scoring experience (a live performance that provides the score to a silent film) by musicians Dirk Stromberg, Cheryl Ong, Madam Data and Ernst Chua.

This weekend, Sundaram Tagore gallery over at Gillman Barracks is presenting an interesting show; titled Reorientation, the exhibition focuses on the concept of “third culture”, a term first coined by American sociologist Ruth Useem in the ’50s to describe children who have grown up in multiple cultures and places away from their home countries.

The show expands on that note; it features a variety of multimedia works from artists whose homes were never rooted in geography, all of whom are known to put their own spin on Western visual art language with forms, techniques and philosophies from all over the world.

Notable names include New York-based Japanese photographer Hiroshi Senju (his work pictured here), who draws on imagery from Zen Buddhism and traditional East Asian landscape painting yet articulates his concepts in a modernist visual language rooted in Abstract Expressionism, graffiti and drip painting; Pakistani-American artist Anila Quayyum Agha, whose elaborate patterns that define all her signature large-scale light installation works are modern reinterpretations of motifs found in Islamic art and architecture; Korean artist Chun Kwang Young, who shows abstract tactile assemblages made from thousands of triangular forms wrapped in antique mulberry paper and more.

April 1-June 3, 11am-6pm at Sundaram Tagore Gallery, 5 Lock Road

For the uninitiated, Sculpture 2052 is a new independent space opened late last year that as the name indicates, is focused on the medium of sculpture. Though new, it’s a space that has big ambitions – the 2052 in its name reflects its founders’ goals to sustain the space for the next three decades as a means to create dialogues for the current local sculptor community as well as those in the future.

Their ongoing show, Sightseeing Scupture: The Sky, The Land, & The Sea, is a pretty interesting proposition: it’s billed as the first ever “Shoebox Sculpture Biennale” in Singapore. Essentially it’s a giant installation that showcases over 113 sculptures by 89 local artists and sculptors, hence the “shoebox” in its description. It’s a great way to check out many different artists in one sitting, and the show also showcases the diversity of sculptors here, ranging from masters like Han Sai Por to emerging names like Shayne Phua and Noc Vvyne Lim (pictured).

On now till April 2, 11am-5pm, at Sculpture 2052, #03-16 Primz Bizhub, 21 Woodlands Close

There’s a new queer kid in town and their name is Miss Homo. Birthed by queer house party series Mismatch and events organiser Fomo Homo, the rave series is set to be a new home for fans of electronic music.

Three local and international names will be helming the decks: EJ Missy (SG), a driving force in Singapore’s electronic music scene for the past decade with her signature mix of uplifting house grooves and deep, dark & hypnotic techno beats; Howrøng (SG), an emerging name and resident DJ at the young queer party collective Bussy Temple; and Mez (USA), a staple in Los Angeles’ underground party scene whose work draws from Chicago and New York’s ’80s house music culture.

Accompanying them will be mad performances from local drag queens Nicki Aiko Mizrahi and Sapphire Blast – the organisers say to expect ridiculous revelry and berserk beats. So get ready to go mental, act a fool, and throw some absurd shapes that would make even the most demented of ravers proud.

Get your tickets here.

April 1, 10pm-3am at MDLR, #02-00 TPI Building, 62 Cecil Street
