1. Italian Arts - Partners and Mucciaccia. It runs from 4th June 2014 to 2nd Sept 2014. It's a mishmash of their artists and their art from previous exhibitions. A few good works to see. You can catch a couple of Ventrone pieces there.
2. Sebastio Salgado - Sundaram Tagore Gallery (20th May to 3rd August 2014). The Gallery is showing a mini retrospective of Salgado's works spanning the last 25 years. Including works from his Migration, Genesis and Workers series. The works were picked by Salgado so that they don't mirror any images at the Genesis show at the National Museum.
3. One Afternoon -Zhou ZiXi Solo exhibition - Shangart Gallery (24th May to 7th July 2014). I think the gallery is showing about 8 - 10 of his pieces. Found the paintings to be ok and interpretation of subject matter ok only.
4. Simplicity: A solo exhibition of Zhu JinShi - Pearl Lam gallery (28th May 2014 to 13th July 2014). At show is this giant installation of Xuan Paper rolled up and stacked to form a 'mini great wall' in the gallery. There are also paintings done in his style where he uses the Impasto painting techinque, but he layers them on really thick (few inches thick). Don't think the paint is fully dried yet as the oil paint smell permeated the gallery. His colour palette doesn't quite sit with me, as I found it jarring rather then harmonious. Thus the first piece the you see, the mainly black Di/Triptych, is the nicest one. Mainly black but with little spots of colours here and there enough to please the eye/mind.

5. King For A Day - Equator Arts Project - This weekend it was May Lim's turn to turn the project room into her space. We managed to catch her beautifying the wall. Her drawings are much better and more impactful when drawn on a larger scale.
Anyway looking forward to next weekend.
Tung Yue Nang's Opening of Silence at the Cape of Good Hope Gallery next Saturday 21st June 2014 at 1530hrs. It's been over ten years since he has held an exhibition.
