514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 Art Stage Singapore, positioned as "Southeast Asia's flagship art fair", returns for the fifth year running with rows and rows of galleries featuring Asian and global contemporary art.
This year's edition adds on permanent feature Video Stage, a medium that has seen growing interest from art collectors in Asia.
There are more than 200 galleries from 29 countries, with 34 galleries from Singapore.
Below are some of the highlights:
Chae Won Kim's DEEP SIMPLICITY (2014) - Part of the Special Exhibition: Korea Looking Out / Looking In, Kim explains that her work depicts an individual's personal route and network. Every road may be simple, but given different choices, one can walk and end up with very different outcomes.
Phi Phi Oanh's Palimpsest (2014)
Jedsada Tangtrakulwong's In Border (2014) - In this expansive art on the ground, Tangtrakulwong focused on erasing the boundary lines between ASEAN country members, by relocating provinces of Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and states of Malaysia.
Chang Chien-Chi's China Town (2005-2014, video/still)
Henry Lee's A Price on Paradise - In his solo exhibition, Lee, represented by Galerie Sogan & Art, is a a chemical engineer by training, and has put together pages of books (mostly Lord of the Rings) and charcoal for a 7-panel display.
While video may be the way to go, the "curated exhibitions in a museum-like layout" could have garnered more eyeballs if the organisers didn't relegate the space right at the end of the exhibition space.
This somehow seemed like an afterthought for something that was intended to be a permanent fixture from this year onwards.
If you're still going strong through the artwork, and your eyes are sharp enough, you may even spot some older works of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (non-pumpkin related). You can see more of her work here, too.
The four-day event will run till Sunday (25 Jan). Click here to see more art before you purchase your tickets.
