Overview

Ongoing Exhibitions: Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness marks the artist’s first major Southeast Asian exhibition, bringing together 63 works across five decades alongside 14 fossils from his personal collection. Drawing its title from the Heart Sutra, the exhibition explores the tension between appearance and reality through photography, sculpture, installation, and architectural design. Sugimoto invites viewers to slow down and reconsider the act of seeing by approaching time as something open and malleable at the intersection of Buddhist philosophy and scientific inquiry. Designed by the artist himself, the unique mandala-inspired layout eschews linear paths, allowing visitors to loop through the space at their own pace to experience the profound interdependence of form and emptiness. Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage is the first monographic exhibition of the acclaimed artist presented by a Singapore museum. Taking its title from impressions that linger in our field of vision, the exhibition highlights the recurring concerns that run through her wider practice, such as repetition, time and labour. The exhibition is anchored by Taniguchi’s “brick paintings” (2008–ongoing), in which subtle shifts in colour and scale accumulate over time. Alongside these towering canvases, Afterimage presents a new version of Runaways, a series of wooden sculptures made up of straight lines and circles that function as three-dimensional drawings. Four video works made between 2010 and 2026 complete the exhibition, further illuminating Taniguchi’s relationship to space, time and artistic process.
