TRY A ONE-OF-A-KIND SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE

The blockbuster show We Live in an Ocean of Air will open at ArtScience Museum this weekend – for the uninitiated, it will be a stunning multi-sensory experience designed by experiential art pioneers Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF). Prior to its Asian debut in Singapore, the show premiered in 2018 at The Saatchi Gallery in London for a sold-out run, which was extended twice due to popular demand.

MLF promises to transport visitors across the globe to California’s famed Sequoia National Park, a forest filled with giant sequoia trees. Intended to have visitors discover the inner workings of these monolithic lifeforms, the show blends the digital world with the physical space through a unique combination of technologies – think VR headset, heart rate monitor, breath sensors, body tracking device, scent dispersal systems and wind machines – to truly elevate it beyond what is traditionally expected of VR experiences.

May 28 to Oct 2 at Level 4 ArtScience Museum, 6 Bayfront Ave

Beloved vintage homeware specialist Aeae Furniture is putting on the first party at its new Jalan Ampas digs in the form of its regular weekend market series. It might get a little more crowded than usual however; the Aeae folks have roped in electronic collective Darker Than Wax to get the mood going till late.

Other vendors taking part include streetwear label Veblen Supplies, as well as exotic plants from Pudica, The 3 Keys and Cute Plants World. Caffeine junkies would also do well to skip their usual order and head straight to the store instead as Common Man Coffee Roasters will be having a pop-up there.

May 27 (5pm-10pm) and May 28th and May 29 (noon to 7pm) at #07-01, Ho Seng Lee Flatted Warehouse, 10C Jalan Ampas

HEAD TO GILLMAN BARRACKS FOR A SLEW OF NEW SHOWS
image

Numerous shows by emerging artists have opened at the Gillman Barracks. One to look out for includes Forget Me, Forget Me Not (pictured) by the artist with the golden touch, Priyageetha Dia, who is now represented by Yeo Workshop gallery. In this show, Dia transforms the visual and textual artefacts that document the history of Indian labourers in rubber plantations in Malaya, into a sensorial environment. To oppose forgetting, the artist suggests, we need new forms of telling. To that end, she’s combined computer-generated imagery with screen printed works onto latex, constructing a new narrative.

Over at Block 9, artist-curator Berny Tan is emerging as probably the busiest curator of her generation; she’s now onto her third exhibition of this year. Titled How We Learn(t), the exhibition brings together two new bodies of work that examine, deconstruct, and re-present existing systems of knowledge, from two young artists Hong Shu-ying and Syahrul Anuar,  both of whom who were awarded the prestigious Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography last year.

Forget Me, Forget Me Not is on now till June 26 at Yeo Workshop at Gillman Barracks, 47 Malan Rd, #01-25. Meanwhile, How We Learn(t) is on now till June 5, at Gillman Barracks, 9 Lock Road, #02-21
