  • Caroline Rothwell's "The Law of Unintended Consequences (Climate Machine I)", Pearl auto-lacquer on Britannia metal, 61.5 x 35.5 x 18.5 cm, 2013. (Image courtesy of the artist and Future Perfect)
  • In the evening the smog lifted enough to sit outside. Or at least it dissipated enough to see the lights of the oil refinery (distance) and the shipping container terminal (right). It was the perfect setting for the condominium infinity pool (foreground).
  • Singapore Art Museum's Summer exhibition for Children, Art Garden, included this truly enchanting string and neon walk-in installation "Stellar Cave II" by Julien Salaud
  • The Singapore Art Museum, cutely named 'Sam" had a show for children, Art Garden. And a rabbit. Just don't ask a taxi driver to find it. The museum, never mind the rabbit.
  • CHUN Kwang Young (b.1944) "Aggregation 07-DE146 ", Mixed media with Korean mulberry paper, 250 x 205 cm, 2007 at Art Plural Gallery (image: Chris Moore)

  • The Substation Gallery was closed when I visited "due to the horrifying haze situation".
  • Equator Art Projects presented "Theory and Practice of the Small Painting", including this fresh abstract work by Ian Woo.
  • Silverlens showed how big ideas can be generated with economy of means, with a terrific video art show using just iPads. Here, Lawrence Malstaf's - appropriately for airless Singapore - "Shrink", performance, 6 minutes 10 seconds, 1996
  • Detail of Tomoko Kashiki "Trash Bag Like a Rabbit", acrylic, pastel, linen, wooden panel 130.5 x 162 cm, 2012 at Ota Fine Arts, Gillman Barracks
  • Luciano Vetrone presented "Sui Generis" at Partners & Mucciaccia. Here "The Alchemist's Dream", oil on linen, 60 x 70 cm, 2007. The extremely helpful and charming gallerists did their best to try to convince me that Mr Vetrone's work is "conceptual" and not "hyperrealist". I remain, even now, unmoved. His work is only conceptual in the sense that all painting is conceptual. Which is unhelpful, to say the least.
  • The best show in Singapore right now is Peter Zimmerman's "crystal & fruits" at Michael Janssen gallery, also at Gillman Barracks.
  • Yoshitaka Amano's "Mythopeia" exhibition at Mizuma Gallery delivered on manga expectations. "Wind and Thunder Gods" (detail), acrylic on board, 100 x 100 x 5 cm, 2013. (photo: Chris Moore)
  • Many galleries Arndt open when the haze from the forest clearing fires in Indonesia and Malaysia cause the air particle count to go over 400, which by comparison makes Beijing seem like a breath of fresh oxygen.
  • Detail of Xu Zhen "The Last Mosquito" at ShanghART, Gillman Barracks (note the blood spitting onto the wall)
  • Morvarid K at Yavuz Fine Art. This work "Heart Dish 3", photo collage, 80 x 80cm, 2013. (photo: Chris Moore)
  • At Future Perfect had a double show of Chiharu Shiota and Caroline Rothwell, "The Pulse of Time" (Image courtesy of the artist and Future Perfect)
