Another Spring
At Richard Koh Fine Art in Singapore, ‘Another Spring’ is a solo exhibition of Htein Lin, who is a founding member of the Association for Myanmar Contemporary Art (AMCA). The artist’s latest paintings are printed on the longyi, a wide and long sheet of cloth that is widely worn in Myanmar. In these works, he has depicted the violent aftermath of the coup d’etat last year. Curated by Louis Ho, the show brings to the fore the impact of power struggles on civilians’ lives.

‘Another Spring’ is on show at RKFA at Gillman Barracks, Singapore from 18 February to 19 March 2022. More information here.

Celine Lee ‘The Brightest Part’ Solo Exhibition
MO_Space presents Celine Lee’s solo exhibition ‘The Brightest Part’, which puts together photography and sculpture in an exploration of light and shadows. Lee thinks further about how Zoom, which has become ubiquitous as a communication platform during the pandemic, offers a green screen option even in the absence of a proper one, and the potential absurdity of this. An interactive experience, visitors are invited to weave through the mirrors in the space so that their bodies bring about a dappling effect with the spotlights.

Experience the exhibition from 26 February to 27 March 2022 in Manila, Philippines. Click here for more information.
