ShanghART Singapore

ShanghART Singapore is the official Singapore space for ShanghART Gallery. ShanghART Gallery was established in Shanghai in 1996.

It has since grown to become one of China’s most influential art institutions and a vital player in the development of contemporary art in China, representing over 60 pioneering and emerging artists, including DING Yi, LI Shan, Arin RUNGJANG, Melati SURYODARMO, Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL, XU ZHEN®, YANG Fudong, ZENG Fanzhi, and ZHAO Renhui Robert. ShanghART Singapore was established in 2012 as the

gallery’s Southeast Asia wing, located in the contemporary art cluster Gillman Barracks. The gallery’s first overseas space serves as a platform to introduce Chinese contemporary art to the region while developing collaborations with Southeast Asian artists and bringing them to the international art scene.

Robert Zhao Renhui is currently participating in “Red Rocks, Rivers and Monkeys”, a group exhibition at Hampi Art Labs in Hampi, India, on view through 4 November 2026.

In the exhibition, the same landscape in Hampi emerges through two distinct modes of attention, moving between its living ecologies and material histories. Robert Zhao traces animal life persisting across the ruins, grasslands and mining zones, while Atul Bhalla turns his attention to the red rocks, mineral surfaces and waters of the Tungabhadra.

Curated by Yasufumi Nakamori, the exhibition unfolds as an ongoing exploration of Hampi’s ecology, developed through the collaboration between The Institutum and Hampi Art Labs.

“The Fish Does Not Know the War is Over“ by Robert Zhao is a commissioned work presented as part of the group exhibition Art Remembers, on view at National Gallery Singapore through 18 October 2026.

Comprising a series of prints and a two-channel video installation, the work traces the tilapia’s journey from wartime Singapore to postwar Taiwan as a reliable food source. Introduced during the Japanese Occupation to supplement food supplies, the fish later became Taiwan’s prized national commodity while remaining feral in Singapore’s urban waterways – drains, canals, and reservoirs. Through archival research, film, and images, Zhao reframes this dual history from the tilapia’s imagined perspective, reflecting on migration, belonging, and naturalisation.

Art Remembers reflects on how art can recover silenced histories, confront historical inequalities and offer new ways of remembering Southeast Asia’s past. Working with official records, personal photographs, mass media, digital communities, and traces in the natural environment, the artists approach archives in expansive and unexpected ways.

Taiki Sakpisit’s solo exhibition 13 Nightmares is currently on view through 4 October at ShanghART Singapore.

Dreams often blur the boundaries between memory and reality, revealing what lies beneath the surface of consciousness. At the heart of the exhibition is a 16-minute two-channel video installation, where parallel streams of image and sound create shifting connections and tensions. Alongside photographs drawn from Taiki’s encounters with places and histories, the works unfold through fragments, displacement, and transformation.

Thank you to everyone who gathered with us yesterday evening for the opening of 13 Nightmares at ShanghART Singapore, with the artist Taiki Sakpisit also joining us in person. We were delighted to share the exhibition with you and to see the evening unfold through so many conversations and encounters.

In 13 Nightmares, exhibiting artist Taiki Sakpisit transforms the gallery into a labyrinth of moving images, photography and sound, where dreams, memory, grief and premonition converge. Through fragmented narratives and spectral presences, the exhibition invites audiences to inhabit cinema as a psychological and spatial experience shaped by personal and collective histories.

The exhibition is on view through 4 October 2026. We hope to see you in the coming weeks.

Meet Taiki Sakpisit (ไทกิ ศักดิ์พิสิษฐ์, b. 1975), the Bangkok-based filmmaker and visual artist behind 13 Nightmares, his first solo exhibition with ShanghART Singapore.

Over the past two decades, Sakpisit has developed one of Southeast Asia’s most distinctive practices, moving between experimental cinema, photography and installation. Frequently drawing upon Thailand‘s histories, folklore and political imaginaries, his works explore the unstable terrain where personal memory and collective consciousness intersect.

His films are characterised by precise and sensorially immersive combinations of image and sound, creating atmospheric worlds in which memory, history and violence unfold through fragments, ambiguity and suggestion. His feature-length film ”The Edge of Daybreak“ (2019) received the FIPRESCI Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam for its atmospheric and hypnotic treatment of trauma, violence and decades of political turmoil in Thailand.

In 13 Nightmares, Sakpisit extends this cinematic practice into the gallery, bringing together moving images, photography and sound to explore the uncanny intersections between dreams, memory, grief and premonition.

ShanghART Singapore presents 13 Nightmares, a solo exhibition by Taiki Sakpisit, opening next Saturday, 15 August 2026, at 4pm. Over the past two decades, Sakpisit has developed one of Southeast Asia’s most distinctive practices, dissolving the boundaries between cinema and contemporary art. Frequently drawing upon Thailand’s histories, folklore and political imaginaries, Sakpisit’s works are rooted in the unstable terrain where personal memory and collective consciousness continually intersect.

The premise of this exhibition can be traced back to a nightmare Sakpisit experienced in Singapore in 2018. A phone call from his brother awoke him from the nightmare, informing him about the passing of a family member. Since then, Sakpisit has become increasingly drawn to the intersections between dreams, memory, grief, and premonition, culminating in this exhibition.

Robert Zhao Renhui’s solo exhibition Trying to Remember a Tree is currently on view at Fotografiska Shanghai through 6 November 2026.

Through photography, moving image, surveillance footage, and installation, the exhibition examines how humans perceive, understand, and intervene in the natural world. Starting from a fallen rain tree, then through 28,017 individually documented leaves, fragments of its trunk, and 24-hour footage recording its decomposition, Zhao draws attention to natural remnants often overlooked within highly efficient modern urban environments in order to reconsider urban ecology.

Extending his long-standing exploration of the relationship between human systems and natural ecologies, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down and look closely. As Zhao observes, “Without looking at a tree, there is no forest.”

Amanda Heng is currently representing Singapore at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia with A Pause, on view through 22 Nov 2026.

Presented at the Singapore Pavilion, A Pause transforms the historic Sale d’Armi into a space for rest and observation. Bringing together photography, video, and an architectural intervention, the exhibition reflects Amanda Heng‘s four-decade practice, inviting viewers to consider the significance of everyday gestures, the body, and quiet moments of encounter.

Commissioned by the National Arts Council, supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and organised by the Singapore Art Museum, this marks the 12th presentation of the Singapore Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia.

Taiki Sakpisit is currently participating in Spirits Melt to Flesh, a group exhibition on view at Bangkok Kunsthalle through 4 October 2026.

In the exhibition, Taiki presents Maelstrom (2026), a 23-minute site-responsive installation combining motorised sound sculptures, a spatialised sound composition, synchronised lights, and fog in a continuous loop. Through the interplay of movement, sound and atmosphere, the work transforms the space into an immersive environment that unfolds over time.

Spirits Melt to Flesh brings together eight Asian artists whose moving image, sound, sculptural and photographic installations explore perception, memory, mythology and regional histories through the dynamic relationship between light, darkness and sound.
