Synopsis

New Bahru is proud to present, Now Now, a public art showcase featuring 6 photographic works from rising and established Singapore-based creatives. Presented as striking billboards, these amplified images form a bold yet intimate tapestry of fossilised moments, placed around the development.

In this edition, Lavender Chang (b.1983), Jovian Lim (b.1984), Sean Lee (b.1985), KHOOGJ (b.1985), Akai Chew (b.1987) and Liu Liling (b.1993), share their diverse practices across Photography, Architecture and Fine Arts to present a zeitgeist lens on Singapore’s here and now. Their works offer tender glimpses of people in this city, drawing our attention to overlooked spaces beneath highway flyovers and through concrete corridors, while capturing the evanescence of a gentle Singapore sunrise and the ripe florescence of our tropical flora.

The exhibition, curated by Artist Dawn Ng (b.1982), whose practice focuses on time, memory and the ephemeral, is part of New Bahru’s unwavering support of local creatives.
