Derived from the 21 THINGS series, MUSEUM SHOP prints tourist photos from museums worldwide (2016–2024) onto acrylic keyrings. These keyrings symbolize museum shop souvenirs and serve as “mini-windows”, merging the museum’s browsing experience with window shopping. This juxtaposition displays the visual similarities between museum and shopping mall presentations, reflecting the interconnectedness of consumer and cultural spaces.

SHOP is part of the People of Design Showcases Series, a key event of Singapore Design Week curated by Hans Tan together with a team of designer-curators. Ten showcases presented across the Bras Basah.Bugis Design District creatively examines the rituals of daily life through the lens of design, where each showcase delves into a specific activity such as Eat, Sleep, Shop, Read, Heal, Make, Plant, Commute, Display and Design. Through new works and collaborative projects, visitors will discover imaginative design possibilities shaped to offer fresh perspectives on the world around us, inspiring new ways of thinking, seeing, and experiencing daily life. SHOP is presented in partnership with Bugis+ and Bugis Street and is co-organised by gideon-jamie and Hans Tan Studio.

Location: Bugis+ (201 Victoria Street, Singapore)
Exhibition Period: 2024/9/26—10/06
Opening hours: 10:00—22:00

In COULDECK: Katalog, the theme of “cloudeck” is explored through a mapping method inspired by tilling-transformation puzzles, creating an exhibition catalog that itself becomes an exhibition. The exhibition space becomes an extension of the book’s time and space, and the exhibition itself also takes place within the book’s unfolding. After the exhibition at Celsius Projects in Malmö ends, it continues within the catalog, transcending geographical boundaries, making the exhibition an ongoing experience beyond its original location.

Shadow Posts
Zhou Junsheng

Shadow Posts is a book made by Zhou Junsheng and published by MULU OFFICE in 2022. The book contains blue images printed in diazotype, a photographic printing process that reacts to sunlight, which makes the images from the book fades with the passage of time. The book has a cover page, like a background, that can be opened and displayed behind the book while it unfolds. By switching the position of the images on the background and the inside pages, the book represents itself in two reversed versions, Sea in the Forest and Forest in the Sea, which are both sides of the same book that together display different perspectives of the same reality. Through the intriguing story of tamatebako and wangliang, Shadow Posts invites the viewers to have a journey to the boundaries between light and shadow, presence and absence, past and future.

The book DIESUI features tattoo artist Upa's photographs and drawings of waterfalls. The book design was based on an accordion-fold structure, which mimics the “cascading” nature of waterfalls. It further utilizes the dual-sided viewing of the fold to create an “inside” and “outside” relationship between the photographic and drawing images, corresponding with each other. As the book unfolds through time and space, it constructs a cascading waterfall structure that flows with the artist's gaze, just like a stream of running water.

The printed numbers in the book not only serve as page numbers but also hint to the viewer to determine the rotation of the images through the reversed and upright positions of the digits. The book also comes with color-printed waterfall photo stickers, named shuihua (water splashes), which the viewer can drop inside the book or anywhere outside, as if mimicking the splashes from the flowing images. The photograph-side of the book uses waterproof laser printing, while the drawing-side is printed with a non-waterproof inkjet process. The book was published in two versions, Photography Outside and Drawing Outside, in each version, the corresponding part becomes the inside, and the two versions are reversible by flipping the book inside out.
