National Gallery Singapore reveals untold legacy of Asian artists in modern art
Photo: Screengrab from Pexel (for illustration purposes only) SINGAPORE: A new display at the National Gallery Singapore is redrafting the narrative of contemporary art, not from the viewpoint of its renowned European masters, but through the audacious, boundary-crossing ideas of Asian artists who once walked the same Parisian avenues. 'City of Others' According to Timeout 's latest update, City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s–1940s opens today and runs every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., pulling back the drape on a fundamental yet unnoticed episode in art history. The exhibition highlights trail-blazing figures like Liu Kang, Foujita Tsuguharu, and Georgette Chen, whose artistic journeys carried them from Asia to Paris at the peak of the city's experimental movement. As opposed to blending with the creative environment of the time, these artists filled their works with an opulent and intense cultural heritage, defying Eurocentric standards and leaving a lasting mark on the French art scene. With over a hundred seldom-seen portraits, drawings, and archival materials, the exhibit reveals how their personal histories and the fusion of identities moulded their art, and, in turn, steered and impacted the development of modernism itself. From Foujita's mixture of Japanese ink methods with Western oil painting to Chen's lyrical portrayals of ordinary life sifted through both Parisian light and Southeast Asian sentimentality, City of Others provides a fresh perspective on the contemporary art movement, one where foreign legacies, cross-cultural exchange, and identity unite. It's not just an art show—it's a powerful reclamation of narrative. These were artists who didn't fit in, but who ultimately transformed the spaces they entered. Not just about art Guests can explore this pioneering exhibition daily at the National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew's Rd, Singapore 178957, with opening hours from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m., and open from June 16 – June 30, 2025. For more information, visit the official event website: City of Others i s not just about art; it's about repossessing identity, space, and influence in a history that frequently reduces Asian artists to invisibility. This art display is a must-see for art enthusiasts, history fanatics, and anyone interested in narratives that defy the conventional.

Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun's Beijing concert draws 50,000 people on first night
Singaporean singer-songwriter Stefanie Sun has been performing to massive crowds as part of her ongoing tour, Aut Nihilo. For the first night of the Beijing leg of her tour, on Jun 13, she performed for over 50,000 people at Beijing's National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest. She performed there again for her second and final show in Beijing on Jun 15. Sun has also completed the Shanghai and Shenzhen legs of her concert in April and May, respectively. For the first night of her Shanghai concert on Apr 26, she performed in front of 46,000 people, according to her post on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen was among the many attendees on the first day of Sun's Beijing concert. The actress said on Chinese social media platform Weibo on Jun 14 about the show: 'As my favourite Chinese female singer, I have waited too long for this concert. 'I had a chance to watch it (her last concert) more than ten years ago, but I missed it because of work. I didn't expect that it (her next concert) would be so many years later. I wanted to cry as soon as you came on stage. After all, you carried my youth for so many years,' said the actress known for her role in the 2011 film You Are The Apple Of My Eye. 'Fortunately, there were fast songs, so I only cried for half of the concert,' the 42-year-old added jokingly. 'Listening to your songs in those years, the songs always carried one part of innocence, two parts of stubbornness, and three parts of freedom. I found myself in the songs and pursued my dreams. I saw you in person today, and you are so cute! Different from any meaning, you are the green light and so unique.' This is Sun's first major tour in a decade since her 2014 Kepler World Tour.
