Kicking off a vibrant global arts calendar in 2024, STPI – Creative Workshop & Gallery celebrates local and regional contemporary art through its participation in three highlight events at Singapore Art Week: ART SG, the leading international art fair in Singapore and Southeast Asia, homegrown curatorial platform S.E.A. Focus, as well as Meditations on Shadow Libraries, a solo exhibition held in STPI gallery, featuring works by leading Singapore artist Heman Chong, curated by New York-based Brian Kuan Wood.

“Southeast Asia is an unmistakably thriving space that demands burgeoning interest in the international art conversation. Through our diverse activities across Singapore Art Week, we hope to spotlight local and regional artists who have made ground- breaking STPI works in print and paper, and excite new audiences on the artistic possibilities rising here at home in Southeast Asia.”

– Emi Eu, Executive Director, STPI

At the second edition of ART SG, STPI reaffirms this commitment by showcasing a line-up of celebrated artists from Southeast Asia, such as Cultural Medallion winners Chua Ek Kay and Han Sai Por, together with Pacita Abad, Entang Wiharso, Dinh Q. Lê and Heman Chong.

In a special co-presentation with Beijing / Lucerne-based Galerie Urs Meile, both galleries will find confluence and synergy through an expanded array of artists from different geographies, attesting to a universality in contemporary art’s capacity to transcend borders, and STPI’s continued mission in building bridges between Singapore and international art players.
