This exhibition offers a new, revealing look at the world-class Portland Collection of art. The museum will be filled to the brim with fascinating art and objects, a giant cabinet of curiosities. There will be silver and tapestry, paintings and jewels; art that has come home after a long loan to a prestigious national gallery, and stunning star items that visitors know and love – such as Michelangelo’s ‘Madonna of Silence’ or the pearl earring worn by Charles I at his execution. A highlight of the display is a Picture Gallery, stacked with Tudor and Jacobean portraits – many of which have never been seen publicly before.

Family, art, and entrepreneurship converge in the story of three visionary Peranakan women from Indonesia – Nyonya Oeij Soen King, her daughter-in-law Nyonya Oeij Kok Sing, and her granddaughter Jane Hendromartono. From the 1890s to 1980s, they produced impressive batiks in the renowned batik centre of Pekalongan on Java’s north coast. This exhibition explores the lives and works of these women, revealing how each became a batik master in her own right, and how they responded to the rapid political, cultural, and economic changes of their times to run a business that produced great art.

Fistful of Colours: Moments of Chinese Cosmopolitanism brings together artworks from the late Qing Dynasty to the present moment to explore the social history of art, with a particular emphasis on the situatedness of Chinese ink works amidst its political milieus. With reference to the concept of Chinese cosmopolitanism as proposed by scholar Pheng Cheah, the exhibition connects the artistic and scholarly advocation embodied by the artists presented, telling a story of the social life between artists and society through both modern and contemporary experiences of the overseas Chinese intellectual and mercantile communities, their pursuits of Chinese modernity, and their collective cultural commitments at the dawn of globalisation.

Singapore's first Studio Ghibli exhibition opens in October, where visitors can meet popular characters from 11 Studio Ghibli films and wander through the fantastical scenes of My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke.

Studio Ghibli was founded in Japan in 1985 by directors Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki. Many of the studio's works have set box office records, won the praise of audiences around the world, and won numerous awards and recognition, leaving their names in the history of film industry. Among them, seven films have been nominated for Academy Awards, including The Heron and the Boy, which won the 96th Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2024. That same year, Studio Ghibli became the first group in history to receive an honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, recognizing their work over the past 40 years.

Ota Fine Arts Singapore is pleased to present "Every Day I Pray for Love," an exhibition of new and recent works by Yayoi Kusama. The travelling exhibition, Kusama's first at Ota Fine Arts in three years, began from Tokyo (March 2024) to Shanghai (May 2024) and makes its final stop in Singapore (September 2024). It will feature over 50 paintings from the series “Every Day I Pray for Love” and several drawings, which Kusama has been actively working on since 2021, as well as her recent wall relief sculptures,SOULS OF WOMEN THAT CONTINUE FOREVER(2019), which are a new addition to the Singapore presentation. Yayoi Kusama's 70-year career has been marked by numerous masterpieces. In particular, Kusama's repetitive use of nets and polka dots to fill the canvases and spaces has cemented her title as the 'Queen of Polka Dots'. At the turn of the century, however, she transcended this reputation and developed two series of paintings,Love Forever(2004-2007) andMy Eternal Soul(2009-2021), in which she painted figurative subjects such as eyes, profiles, and plants. While all kinds of colours jumble across the canvases, conflicting concepts and forms of ‘life and death,’ ‘micro and macro,’ ‘war and peace,’ and ‘figurative and abstract,’ coalesce into a cohesive whole.

Of War and Peace Alexander Borodin - String Quartet No. 1 in A - intermission - Dimitri Shostakovich- String Quartet No. 3 in F, Op 73 Alexander Borodin’s first Quartet, praised by critics as “Russia’s first great piece of chamber music”, cemented his place as one of the great composers of his era. This work betrays his true profession as a professor of Chemistry, with experimentations of beautiful melodies, energetic passages and solemn folk tunes. The promise shown in this maiden effort in the string quartet medium led to even greater success in Borodin’s second Quartet, one of the most popular works in the chamber music genre. Dimitri Shostakovich wrote his 3rd string quartet in the dark period between the end of the 2nd World War and the beginning of the Cold War. Nationalistic sentiments dictated that Shostakovich presented this work as a “war quartet”, including subtitles for each of the 5 movements which he later withdrew. This work begins with a impish opening that gradually descends into chaos and and anarchy, leading to a very wistful and melancholic close. With this program, T'ang Quartet hopes to bring the audience through an emotional rollercoaster of war and, the beauty and tranquility of peace. Information Source: T'ang Quartet | eventbrite
