We are finally getting closer to starting the renovation.Everything takes time, a lot of time, but given the scale of the project, it feels inevitable.

I expected a more vibrant art scene, a city as daring in its exhibition spaces as it is in its architecture.

It wasn’t a photography show but a plunge into a parallel universe, a jubilant and uninhibited dialogue between painting, Japanese pop culture, video games and contemporary art.

I would have loved to meet one of the founders or directors of Objectifs, a non-profit gallery dedicated to photography and moving images, and one of the most inspiring in Singapore.

At the heart of Gillman Barracks, Sundaram Tagore Gallery conveys a quiet elegance.

The space, luminous and elegant, highlights a discerning selection of contemporary painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography.

I see something else. A shattered constellation, an abstract canvas, a shower of colored stars.
