  • NOW, SINGAPORE Vol 01.  〜MALE CREATORS〜  Asia’s top Singaporean talents.

Over the years, Singapore’s reputation as an arts hub has made a worldwide impression. Out of this vibrant arts scene, EDIT LIFE SINGAPORE has handpicked the hottest and most current artists to participate in an exhibition. We invited Kenny Leck who is owner of the hottest book store in Tiong Bahru “Books Actually” as our curator. Separated into male and female artists over two months, it is a gathering of top graphic designers, photographers, architects, musicians, and embroidery artists active in their field. From 11th April till 12th May, we will be featuring Male artists. We will show and sell their art works. Don’t miss the opportunity to get in touch with their special talents!

近年ますます盛り上がりを見せるシンガポールのアートシーン。中でも、今、最も注目を集めているアーティストが一堂に介すエキシビジョンを4月11日から6月19日までの約2ヶ月間、EDIT LIFE SINGAPOREで開催します。キュレーターはシンガポールカルチャーの中心的存在ともいえる書店「BooksActually」のオーナー・Kenny Leck氏。5月12日までの前半は、グラフィックデザイナーやクリエイティブディレクター、ミュージシャンなど男性アーティストたちによる作品を展示、販売します。彼らの才能に触れられる貴重な機会、お見逃しなく。
