Join curator Bridget Tay for the artist talk on 16 May, 3PM. She would unveil what’s on my mind and how we arrived at the idea for the show. Would be great to see you all then. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME SIDE Andy Yang Curated by Bridget Tay Bringing together drawings, paintings developed over years of working from life, the exhibition opens up his process; his repetitions, pauses, and returns. Here, figuration and abstraction exist side by side, with the figure shifting between presence and trace, becoming a way of thinking through painting itself. Show goes on till the 22nd of May.

The Singapore Pavilion at Venice Biennale is officially open! We went down to see the opening of A Pause by Amanda Heng, curated by Selene Yap. She transforms the space into an environment for rest and observation,centered on ordinary actions such as sitting, waiting and watching. We're so happy to see and support our national art ventures and excited to explore the rest of the pavilions. Stay tuned!🔥🔥🔥

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME SIDE Andy Yang Curated by Bridget Tay @bbridgettay 8 – 22 May Opening: 8 May, 6:30PM Artist Talk: 16 May, 3PM Open from Wednesdays – Sundays, 1–7PM 🏛️ INSTINC Space @instinc_space 39 Keppel Rd, #03-10 Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore 089065 You’re warmly invited to The Other Side of the Same Side, an exhibition by Andy Yang that offers an intimate glimpse into his studio practice. Bringing together drawings, paintings developed over years of working from life, the exhibition opens up his process; his repetitions, pauses, and returns. Here, figuration and abstraction exist side by side, with the figure shifting between presence and trace, becoming a way of thinking through painting itself. More than a presentation of finished works, this is an invitation into the studio. Into a space of making, unmaking, and quiet conversation. We hope you’ll join us.

Back at @instinc_space bright and early. Another routine added to my packed morning schedule for the next two weeks. Thankful for this opportunity. Love mornings. Tackling the buy by its horns and harmoniously ride into the day. Every opportunity is an experience. Savour every moment with your friends and family. #instincspace #artists #artistlife #studiotakeover

Granite is at the centre of Julie Stoneman’s sustained enquiry into complex, chaotic systems of deep geological time. Found across the globe, vast granite batholiths connect landforms and countries, forming deep structures that underpin the Earth’s surface. Used historically in sculpture and architecture for its durability and crystalline beauty, granite becomes in Julie’s work both material and metaphor for an elemental connector between cultures and geologies. Through gestural works on paper made with improvised tools and layered acrylic, Julie explores what she describes as a form of “geo-choreography”—the movement of Earth’s landmasses across billions of years rendered as rhythm, force, and disruption. This approach extends into large ink works, where fluid, thrown gestures evoke the scale and volatility of geological transformation. Across the exhibition, Julie positions granite as both subject and system; an encounter with deep time that reveals geology as an interconnected, living complexity in which human materiality is also embedded. A reminder that we are made of the same deep matter we seek to understand. 🖼️ The Weight of Light 🏛️ INSTINC Space 39 Keppel Rd, #03-10 Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore 089065 ✉️ More info: /exhibitions/weightoflight 🗓️ 23 Apr–29 Apr 2026 Mon–Fri: 1PM–7PM Sat–Sun: 1PM–6PM 🎨 Featuring: Julie Stoneman (@flux_studio_julie_stoneman ) This project was made possible by the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.

#fluorescentminerals can be incredibly vivid under the microscope and these two #acrylicpaintings really #shimmer with such vitality. My signature black topological lines help to mediate the colours creating a complex depth of field. These two works are stunning 🧡 and are part of The Weight of Light exhibition at #instinc_space #singapore.
