GROUP EXHIBITION

21 Years: A Story in Multiple Parts will be a multi-faceted exhibition featuring a selection of over 30 artworks from more than 20 artists, spanning across the early 2000s to the 2020s, including the likes of Do Ho Suh (South Korea), Rirkrit Tiravanija (Thailand/USA), Pinaree Sanpitak (Thailand), the late Ashley Bickerton (USA) and Pacita Abad (Philippines), pioneer Singapore artists such as Chua Ek Kay and Han Sai Por, and many more.

To highlight this important and poignant coming-of-age moment, the milestone exhibition will showcase the stories, and creative relationships forged within the Creative Workshop and Gallery through historical photographs, a timeline of development, and artworks produced in residency. It reinforces STPI’s deep ethos of artistic experimentation and unlimited possibilities in the realms of print and papermaking, which have empowered many renowned artists in producing fresh works that find expression beyond the boundaries of their original practice.

In commemoration of its 21st Anniversary, STPI will also publish a seminal book titled PRINT / PAPER UNLIMITED — a rich collection of essays, interviews, and anecdotes from past visiting artists, renowned curators, passionate collectors, and other significant figures in the international art scene. Their voices and contribution highlight the depth and scale of STPI’s indelible mark on the contemporary art landscape in Singapore, regionally in Southeast Asia, and around the world.
