It's easy to overlook a piece of art when surrounded by many other artworks, especially when it's this small! 🧐 This red-figure squat oil flask (lekythos) decorated with a swan is one of those pieces. It's these types of pieces where you have to ask yourself, "Why is it so small? Did they really only put oil in this thing? And what's the significance of the swan?" Ask these questions! Engage with the art and start the conversation, maybe you'll get new insight. 😉🦢 Attica, Greece; Classical period, ca. 450-400 BCE Ceramic vessel Tampa Museum of Art, Joseph Veach Noble Collection, 1986.082

8 April, 2023 to 14 July, 2024 |The Met — “Anxiety and Hope in Japanese Art” The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Galleries 223-232, New York, USA This exhibition explores the themes of anxiety and hope, with a focus on the human stories in and around art and art making.

It then proceeds chronologically, highlighting medieval Buddhist images of paradises and hells, Zen responses to life and death, depictions of war and pilgrimage, and the role of protective and hopeful images in everyday life.

A leaf from a journey's diary - Rethinking museums We understand museums as having a determinate form and recognise them as containers with contents inside. For the historic European museum this is even more so the case. Can’t it be different and, if we can change it, how might it look? The splendidly beautiful porcelain works of Chinese artist Lei Xue would be a good analogy to explain possible or likely futures for the historic European museum. Lei Xue has created a contemporary blend of tradition and modern consumption aesthetics by combining traditional Chinese porcellain techniques with soda-can forms. As tradition is grafted onto everyday consumption objects so can our understanding of the past be shaped by contemporary values. As traditional craftsmanship and materials are shaped into objects inspired by throw-aways from every day life so can the historic European museum reinvent intself in the contemporary. Let’s not forget that museums need artists not just to present them to their publics but to help them reinvent themselves. #innovatingthepast #historicmaterials #contemporarynarratives

private view Andreas Greiner Studio Andreas Greiner Game of Life on view through 17. Feb 2024 "One really basic problem that we have as humans is that we came up with this idea or this concept of dichotomy between human nature and non-human nature. We are humans, and we do culture. We are intelligent. Everything else that is there on the planet is not intelligent. Everything on the planet is nature, and we are kind of excluded. And this led to a kind of misunderstanding or a kind of misperception of this planet where we are living on, where basically, in the end, everything is interconnected." The above excerpt is from the exhibition video for our current solo show Game of Life by Andreas Greiner, on view through 17. Feb 2024. Greiner is known for integrating art and science in intricate, multi-disciplinary presentations and an artistic practice that often extends beyond gallery confines to encompass projects in public spaces and the natural environment.

Unlikely Monuments exhibition curated by Giovanna Calvenzi From 31st January to 7th February 2024 Istituto Storico Parri, Bologna Promoted by Istituto Storico Parri and Lavì City on the occasion of Art City Bologna 2024 On show part of an ongoing series of monuments dedicated to women who have had a public role or a relevant role in the public sphere, known, unknown, or forgotten. These monuments are undoubtedly unlikely, like many of the places in which they are placed in this series, which is nothing but imaginary cataloguing as much as the monuments themselves. What is also proposed is a reflection on the meaning of "monument", on how we are remembered and how we would like to be represented, perhaps through other forms than the patriarchal ones that monuments have assumed. The series is presented as an excerpt from a catalogue.

Where to buy art in Singapore? The answer to that is often - your nearest mall! However, the art scene in Singapore, including affordable art, thrives at contemporary art galleries, fine art dealers and even art pop-ups.
