ANY OTHER CITY
Artistry Cafe 
Any Other City by the Shooting Home Class of 2014 is a photographic exploration of place in the form of the inescapable city. With the unraveling of migratory threads and its accompanying transience, contemporary cities offer a confluence of greetings for the visitor: anonymity, boredom, secrets, space, among others. The works interpret life in concrete, from architectural renderings of a physical landscape to emotional responses to our urban psyche. Participating artists include: Charmaine Poh, Hester Tan, John YM Tan, Kwok Jia-Xin, Nadir Mehadji, Ng Hui Hsien, Saifuddin Jalil and Shyue Woon.

SINGAPORELANG – WHAT THE SINGLISH?
Lower Gallery
A photography series by Singaporean photographer Zinkie Aw, that functions like a Visual Singlish Dictionary. At this interactive exhibition, viewers get to ‘Guess the Singlish’ and give meaning to each scene photographed. Accompanying these photographs is an attempt to piece together some dictionary terms of this peculiar Singapore English dialect, thereby questioning the idea of what, or who really makes a dictionary.

LOOKING FORWARD, LOOKING BACK
Objectifs Arab St Gallery
For our final exhibition at Arab Street, Chris Yap takes you through a forest to look for the glittery city.  Where there was once a lush swampy mangrove, it is now a ship that seems to float in the air. Where there were primary rainforests, they are now filled with condos and HDB flats. This imagined forest was never given a voice to state its importance, only to be swept away for the progress of society.

MYSTERIOUS OBJECTS AT NOON
Objectifs Arab St Gallery
Ten artists, five from Singapore and five from the UK have joined together to collaborate and create projects in a 21st Century remake of the Surrealists’ game of the ‘Exquisite Corpse’. The exhibition examines the nature of artistic collaboration and revels in the creative mayhem that can be released through the unexpected twists ands turns of a to-and-fro of processes during which the artists have been asked to respond to their collaborative partner’s aesthetic sensibilities and working methodologies – perhaps suggesting new possibilities for their own practice. Featuring: (SG) Lynn Lu, Tania De Rozario, Shubigi Rao, Min-Wei Ting, Debbie Ding / (UK) Birgitta Hosea, Suzanne de Emmony, Katriona Beales, Gavin Maughfling, Christopher Lutterodt-Quarcoo.

IMPERIAL DOUBLE-TAKE
Objectifs Arab St Gallery
This exhibition by Objectifs Artist-in-Residence Fiona Amundsen questions how images may provoke counter experiences of historicised narratives that both pay homage to the traumas and suffering of, in this case, imperial warfare, while also unsticking these histories that have become preserved through memorial.  Imperial Double-take asks its viewers to to look again, and in doing so to seek out “what’s living and breathing in the place hidden from view: people, places, histories, knowledge, memories, ways of life, ideas.
