Presented by Singapore Art Museum, Brandon Tay: Sangkalan transforms everyday library spaces into immersive worlds of speculative storytelling, inviting visitors to step into a fictional island ecosystem where knowledge is shared across nature rather than stored in systems. Travelling from Woodlands Regional Library to Tampines Regional Library, Jurong Regional Library, and culminating at Punggol Regional Library, the evolving installation unfolds through vibrant textiles and sculptural works that embody an imagined culture shaped by a fruit, insect, and bird, each contributing to a decentralised, living archive of memory. Drawing parallels to blockchain technology, artist Brandon Tay reimagines how information can be sensed, shared, and preserved, while SAM’s “museum without walls” approach brings contemporary art directly into the heart of neighbourhood life through this free, community-centred exhibition running from 15 April to 25 October 2026.

Held at National Gallery Singapore, Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art boldly reframes the conversation around the body, intimacy, and sexuality, positioning desire not as taboo but as a generative force in artistic practice. Opening on 24 April 2026, this R18 exhibition gathers over 70 works spanning pre-modern to contemporary periods, weaving together myth, modernity, and lived experience to reveal how artists across the region have navigated identity, power, and expression through the lens of the erotic. Inspired by Liu Kang’s reflections on desire as a catalyst for transformation, the show unfolds across three thematic sections, tracing how representations of the body evolve from sacred cosmologies to postcolonial reinterpretations and into deeply personal, socially charged narratives. In doing so, the Gallery delivers a thought-provoking, intellectually rigorous exhibition that challenges entrenched perspectives while inviting audiences to engage with Southeast Asian art in a more nuanced, embodied, and human way.
