STPI will be holding 'Pulpable Moments', a pop-up exhibition featuring paper pulp works by artists such as Goh Beng Kwan, Hong Zhu An, and Shinro Ohtake. This exhibition will highlight these artists' creative pursuit, and their use of organic, fibrous works developed in STPI's in-house paper mill.

Yeo Workshop will be presenting a whimsical solo exhibition by Singapore-based Taiwanese-American artist Mike HJ Chang, 'Calendar of Dilation'. This exhibition marks the second solo collaboration between Chang and Yeo Workshop. In this exhibition, Mike experiments with a bold visual language across a variety of media, such as paintings, sculptures, and film, to articulate the relationship between time and the body; the way the former flows, alters, and disorients.
