TAKE IN WHIMSICAL OUTDOOR ART INSTALLATIONS

In recent years, outdoor art installations have been steadily gaining momentum in Singapore, which is great to see as they help to put a new perspective on familiar spaces. The latest addition comes courtesy of As You Were, a public art showcase commissioned by the Public Art Trust (PAT) under the National Arts Council.

The showcase features new works by seven local artists – Daniel Chong, Hazel Lim, Adeline Kueh, Teo Huey Ling, Ang Song Nian, Quek Jia Qi and Aaron Lim. The works are variously quirky (see Chong’s half-eaten biscuit, pictured here) and nostalgic (a larger-than-life paper cup telephone by Quek and Aaron Lim), reminding us to reconnect with nature as well as one another through fun and meaningful artworks that encourage a sense of play.

This showcase sees the majority of the artists experimenting in public art for the first time, and the result is an innovative effort to create meaningful art that inspires and resonates with a wider audience. Find the artworks scattered across Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Jurong Lake Gardens and Punggol Waterway Park. More details here.

On now till Oct 30

VISIT THE HERMES KIOSK

The house of Hermes always takes a fun, light-hearted approach to living beautifully and their latest project will surely put a smile on your face. Cue the Monde d’Hermes Kiosk, a pop-up located at Marina Bay Sands Event Square that’s inspired by traditional Parisian newspaper kiosks (yes, it’s giving us The French Dispatch vibes). 

Here, you can expect to find the Spring/Summer 2022 edition of Le Monde d’Hermes (the maison’s seasonal print publication), enjoy perusing the magazine with some lovely iced coffee while getting your portrait drawn by a portraitist, or receive a balloon sculpture while you’re at it. If you’re lucky, you may even get a haiku written for you by a poet – the specialists come at various times of the day to surprise visitors.

On now till May 16, 10:30am to 8:30pm at Marina Bay Event Square

CHECK OUT A FASHION EXHIBITION WITH A TWIST
image

Many variables affect the way people dress. A new exhibition, Dressing For The Dream Space, peers into what people decide to wear – particularly to an exhibition or museum space.

Organised by fashion writer and curator Weiqi Yap, the exhibition takes inspiration from writer Sheldon Annis’ concept of the dream space and academic Gaynor Kavanagh’s seminal text on dream spaces in the museum (the latter is conceived as the “imaginary, emotional, and sensorial memories we encounter in a museum”). For example, personal memories and experiences may come to mind as one takes in an exhibition at a museum and Yap’s exhibition is interested in how that intersects with the outfit worn by each person.

Four exhibition-goers were invited to select an outfit of their choice – one that they have each worn to an exhibition before. Their outfits of choice are also complemented by their personal recollections of former exhibition visits, making for quite the contemplative experience and further adding to how fashion is being discussed in Singapore.

Make an appointment to visit the exhibition here.

May 14 till June 4 at 61 Bukit Batok Crescent, #04-04D
