State of the Arts: June 7 to 14
SINGAPORE — Time for the literary scene to shine once more, with three Singaporean writers making it to the longlist of the 2014 Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award: O Thiam Chin, Amanda Lee Koe and Zhang Yueran. The much-missed alternative art space Post-Museum is back, albeit temporarily, in the form of a pop up space at Gillman Barracks, courtesy of a four-month collaboration with the Centre for Contemporary Art. Dick Lee announced the restaging of his ’70s-themed musical Hotpants in August. This year’s CausewayEXchange, the annual multi-disciplinary festival featuring artists from Singapore and Malaysia, has kicked off. Two interactive, fun 3D exhibitions, Alive Museum and Trick Eye Museum, have also opened their doors to the public. MAYO MARTIN
