Gazing at Gillman
Helmi Yusof
Been to Gillman Barracks lately? The strong year-end shows at several galleries warrant a visit. Start at the top end of Lock Road and work your way down. Begin at Mizuma and its showcase of works by crowd-favourite Albert Yonathan Setyawan and the deliciously sardonic Miyanaga Aiko.
Step into Block 9 for ShanghART's standout solo by Boedi Widjaja exploring his hybrid identity, Yavuz's fine showcase of works by top South-east Asian artists, and Pearl Lam's apt pairing of Singapore's Ben Loong and Malaysia's Zulkifli Lee - two emerging artists skillfully experimenting with materials and geometry.
To see more Singaporean works, drop by at Chan+Hori Contemporary for art by young local artists, and FOST Gallery for Zul Mahmod, Ng Joon Kiat, Wyn-Lyn Tan and Ian Woo.
