Marina Bay Sands
ISA Art Gallery presents a duo presentation entitled ‘Rituals of Repair’ by Arahmaiani and Ines Katamso for S.E.A. Focus 2026, themed The Humane Agency and curated by John Tung. Grounded in the ecological histories of Java, the presentation brings together two practices that engage land, labor, and belief systems shaped by long trajectories of transformation. S.E.A. Focus is presented in conjunction with ART SG, forming part of a shared platform for regional and international exchange.
Through social engagement, mythological frameworks, and material processes, Arahmaiani and Ines Katamso approach agency as a form of care, attentiveness, and ethical action. Their works position artistic practice not as ideology, but as a lived and relational response to fragile ecologies, foregrounding humane agency as something enacted through proximity, responsibility, and repair.
S.E.A. Focus will be held in conjunction with Art SG.

Extending the wider ecology of the HOARSE HORSE exhibition by Ida Lawrence at ISA Art Gallery, the public program invites audiences to engage with the exhibition beyond the gallery walls. An artist-led interactive talk unfolds through shared storytelling, open dialogue, and participatory actions, offering visitors a closer encounter with the ideas and processes that shape the work.
This is followed by a sonic response by musician and composer Khaled Kurbeh, performed live within the gallery. Drawing together cow bells, cat collars, bird-call whistles, field recordings, and improvised electro-acoustic textures, Kurbeh composes an immersive auditory landscape, one that resonates and vibrates alongside Lawrence’s unsettled worlds.

TELLURIA AT SINGAPORE ART WEEK 2026
17 & 21 January 2026
Appetite Singapore
ISA Art Gallery is delighted to share that Ines Katamso’s participation in Telluria, a group exhibition at Appetite Singapore curated by Tan Siuli, will be part of Singapore Art Week 2026.
Telluria draws on mythologist Joseph Campbell’s idea that the “future myth” must speak to our relationship with the Earth and the cosmos. Named after tellur—“of the earth”—the exhibition evokes primordial origins, lost continents, and the deep ties between land, species, and story. In a moment of ecological urgency, Telluria invites us to imagine new myths for a living, sentient planet—braiding the ancient with the future, the material with the mythic, and the human with the more-than-human.
As part of the program, please join us for a curator walkthrough.

Entering its last weeks, don’t miss HOARSE HORSE, a solo exhibition featuring the works of Ida Lawrence, with an accompanying film by Monika Proba. In HOARSE HORSE, Ida Lawrence brings together a cast of creatures; stylish foxes, guarded birds of prey and raspy equines flock together in her latest series of wild story-paintings at ISA Art Gallery. The exhibition offers a window into Lawrence’s painting instincts: image, narrative and the joy of language intertwine through gesture and rhythm. Her worlds are playful yet uneasy, where humor and tension coexist in vibrant color.
Enter at own risk! Hand sanitizer provided!

HYPERTEXTILE
Centro De Arqueologia E Artes De Beja
31 January 2026
ISA Art Gallery is pleased to announce A. Sebastianus’ participation in HYPERTEXTILE, a group exhibition organized by Córtex Frontal and held at the Centro de Arqueologia e Artes de Beja, Portugal. The exhibition brings together 35 international artists who have taken part in the organization’s annual textile-focused residency cycle.
Following the completion of his residency in Mértola, in southeastern Portugal, Sebastianus will present a new body of previously unpublished works inspired by the sacral riverbeds and geological formations shaped by the ebb and flow of the Guadiana River.
ARTIST HIGHLIGHT
This month, ISA Art Gallery is pleased to highlight Yuki Nakayama, who has recently relocated to Okinawa. Nakayama completed her education at Parsons the New School for Design, where she studied interior design and explored the role of play within domestic and public spaces. As her practice expanded toward larger spatial concerns, she continued her studies in architecture at The Cooper Union. Architecture and interior space remain central influences in Nakayama’s painting practice.
Her works resemble abstracted blueprints, composed of harmonized lines and geometric forms across the canvas. Developed through a process of revisiting sketches from the past year, her recent series draws inspiration from the everyday, from the city and the people within her immediate environment. Through the interplay of shadow, light, shape, and volume, Nakayama translates lived experience into painterly reflection, imagining through experience and drawing through thought.
