The Singapore Psychogeographical Society presents a collection of fragments and traces from the cities of Singapore and Paris.
Originally conceived as a public exchange of urban fragments in the style of the Sungei Road Market, where visitors could touch, see, and trade rocks, “Selected Ethnographic Fragments from Central Singapore” presents a diversity of urban fragments from areas undergoing drastic transformation – such as Sungei Road.
In “A Collection of Postdated Memories” construction dates stamped into roads of Paris have been meticulously mapped out and matched with stories from random passersby, acquaintances and other travellers, forming an archive of place and narrative.
The Singapore Psychogeographical Society will give a talk on 27 January. For more details on the talk, visit the Art Stage website here.

For 7 Days of Printing Matter, Zaki and Singaporean punk-rock son Shaiful Zerox will conduct a seven-day zine-making workshop: all in the name of providing an opportunity for those who have something urgent, desperate and passionate to say. Everyone is welcome to join in and create their own zines! This is part of Zaki’s research project, Bl nd: The Darkness of Being and the Age of Darkness, as an Associate Artist of The Substation , which delves into the physical and spiritual dimensions of blindness.
