The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) will open an intriguing exhibition this weekend to accompany its sister museum's Imaginarium 2016 exhibition, and it's a trove of wonders.
"Odyssey: Navigating Nameless Seas", running from Jun 4 to Aug 28, showcases explorations of the ocean by artists from Singapore, Southeast Asia and beyond. It will be the museum's last exhibition before preparing for the Singapore Biennale.
Here are seven of the most intriguing artworks to be discovered at the exhibition.
4. “The Exquisite Pirate: Odyssey” by Sally Smart (Australia)
Walk into this room and you’ll discover something surprising: there were plenty of female pirates in history, but their nautical tales are washed out and lost.
This installation was put together with material and fabric collected by Smart on her travels, and so it has actually travelled with her on a voyage too. The second work pictured above features batik prints, and was crafted during her time in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
