Newly opened at @artsciencemuseumsg, “Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses” is a staggering survey from one of the most innovative minds in fashion today. Presented in collaboration with @madparis, this first Asian solo exhibition presents over 140 of the Dutch designer’s fantastical creations, alongside contemporary artworks by international artists and natural history specimens from the @lkcnhm. In doing so, “Sculpting the Senses” underscores the diverse fields of knowledge (spanning paleontology, microbiology, astronomy, and more) that inform van Herpen’s practice. And thus it illustrates its argument — that fashion, art, and science are not disparate fields, but intricately interconnected — in the most spectacular of ways. (“Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses” runs till 10 August 2025.)

In the works of Malaysian artist @yeeilann, traditional weaving techniques entwine with consumer products and the lyrics of pop songs, and geographical boundaries dissolve into hazy shades of indigo blue. From now till the show’s last day on 23 March, the @singaporeartmuseum is offering free entry to her solo exhibition “Mansau-Ansau,” which surveys two decades of her practice. In today’s story, Lorelei (@o5.iiw) takes a closer look at how Yee combines past and present into a complex, potent new vision of Southeast Asian identity. Click the link in bio to learn more.

Walk through the doors of @artoutreachsingapore this week, and you’ll be greeted by curtains made of rope and gauze and stabbed through with metal pins. Beyond that, you’ll find dreamy, abstract photographs by @helenelechatelier, as well as blossoming textile works by @bhallasuniana in shades of pink and red. Running till this weekend, “What Doesn’t Kill You”addresses the realities of trauma and illness while pointing towards possibilities of hope and healing. It’s also the debut exhibition of “Faceted Women in the Arts,” a five-year initiative by newly minted art advisory @art.linguistics. In today’s story, curator Dr. Michelle Lim (@astromelian) tells Syakirah (@syakiwi) more about the exhibition and her goals for the advisory, spotlighting the creativity and resilience of women in the arts.

Showing for just 9 days at @artoutreachsingapore, “What Doesn’t Kill You” is a two-woman show that explores how the human body suffers and heals. Presented by @art.linguistics and curated by Dr. Michelle Lim, the exhibition showcases new work by Singapore-based artists @bhallasunaina and @helenelechatelier. Drawing together diverse threads from neuroscience, medical technology, and handicraft, the artists tackle their themes of trauma and resilience through a range of mediums including embroidery, photography, and sound. Here, growth and healing are processes that are equal parts messy and beautiful. (“What Doesn’t Kill You” runs till 16 Mar 2025.) [CORRECTION: The work identified as “What are you doing with My Body” in the reel is entitled “Here, somewhere, totally else 2”; we apologise for the error.]

Currently showing at Jakarta’s @museummacan, Korakrit Arunanondchai’s (@kritbangkok) “Sing Dance Cry Breathe” is a riveting portal into the visual world of one of Thailand’s most prominent contemporary artists. In today’s story, Natasha (@artcircle.id) unpacks this dramatic solo presentation — the artist’s first in Indonesia — which spans themes like myth, ghosts, popular culture, and the role of fire in destruction and renewal.

How is Southeast Asian art — specifically, Vietnamese art — being represented abroad? Last year’s Paris Art Week saw the opening of the retrospective “Lê Phô, Mai-Thu, Vu Cao Dam: Pioneers of modern Vietnamese art in France” at the @museecernuschi, as well as presentations of Vietnamese contemporary artists at the art fair @asianow. In today’s story, Naima (@naima.morelli) explores the beginnings of these cross-cultural exchanges, and spotlights some of the galleries and individuals promoting the Vietnamese contemporary on the world stage.

Image: Installation view of Mai-Thu’s “Self-Portrait with a Cigarette” (1927), Lê Phô’s “Self-Portrait” (1938), and Mai-Thu’s “Self-Portrait with a Cigarette” (1940).

Have you caught “Figuring a Scene” at the @nationalgallerysingapore yet? If not, there are still a few weeks left to see the show, which brings together works by artists from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore under the 6 concepts of shadow, fruit, fire, air, wax, and city. Curated by Dr. Patrick Flores, the open-ended exhibition takes place in the Gallery’s Dalam Southeast Asia space, which advances lesser-known narratives and experimental ways of curating. “Figuring a Scene” encourages viewers to not just look for simple answers or fixed meanings, but to experience, interpret, and draw relationships between the works for themselves. (“Figuring a Scene” runs till 23 March 2025.)
