Visual Arts

A curatorial showcase of exhibitions by Singapore and Southeast Asian artists throughout the year.

About Visual Arts 2025

The exhibitions at Esplanade's visual arts spaces—Jendela (Visual Arts Space), Esplanade Concourse, Esplanade Tunnel and Esplanade Community Wall—present commissioned site-specific works that undergird the centre's commitment to nurturing new work and supporting the development of long-standing projects by Singapore and Southeast Asian artists.  

 

Presented alongside the exhibitions are companion programmes like talks, guided tours and workshops, and interviews with artists on Esplanade Offstage that endeavour to lend insight to the works and artistic practices. 

 

Engage with commissioned works by Singaporean artists across four exhibitions around Esplanade.   

At Jendela (Visual Arts Space), The Seminar – Don’t Teach Art by Tang Da Wu invites audiences to engage with sculptures, drawings, performances and workshops that challenge traditional artistic instruction, redefining art as a space for open dialogue, collective inquiry and pluralistic conversations.

 

The Shape of Passing Through by Progressive Disintegrations transforms the act of remembering into a spatial experience. With light, sound and visual art, the works at Esplanade Tunnel invite you to drift through time and consider how memory bridges who we were, who we are and who we might become.

 

Challenge traditional ideas of artistic values with Not Quite Gone, Not Quite Finished at the Esplanade Community Wall. Tok Yu Xiang (Todd) transforms discarded ceramics and creative remnants into renewed artworks. Explore the liminal space between waste and renewal, which reveals how these materials carry hidden histories and invite new meaning through reimagination.

 

Only the Wind Remembers by Khairulddin Wahab at the Esplanade Concourse explores the relationship between Singapore’s maritime history and the powerful forces of nature that have shaped its destiny, reflecting on its deep connections to the Malay Archipelago and its surrounding seas.
