SINGAPORE.- Sullivan+Strumpf announced the expansion of its Singapore operation with a move to a new gallery space located in the popular heritage neighbourhood of Tiong Bahru.

Just a year on from the opening of their Singapore Studio in May 2024, the upgrade to a larger venue marks a pivotal moment in the gallery’s 20th anniversary year, enabling the presentation of a more significant year-round program of exhibitions and audience engagement opportunities for SE Asian audiences, and strengthening the gallery’s capacity for local artist development, institutional outreach, and regional curatorial partnerships.

Sullivan+Strumpf Associate Director, Singapore, Mariia Zhuchenko says, “The opening of the Singapore Studio last year was an important first step towards building on the gallery's outstanding relationships and reputation in Asia – forged over a period of two decades, and a foundational move in expanding our international footprint”.

“The new connections we have formed with the Singaporean and global art community over the past 12 months have been instrumental in our decision to expand into a new space, where our ability to support and cultivate important global dialogues through the promotion of diverse creative voices and ideas can be extended and amplified”.

The launch of Sullivan+Strumpf in Tiong Bahru is being celebrated with a group exhibition featuring works from a selection of the gallery’s Southeast Asian artists including newly represented Ella Wijt (Indonesia) and Yanyun Chen (Singapore), alongside Kanchana Gupta, Dawn Ng and Irfan Hendrian, and Australian artists Lindy Lee, Gregory Hodge, and Julia Gutman, running July 24 to August 16.

Additional exhibitions for 2025 will include the Singapore debut of one of Australia’s rising talents, Marion Abraham titled The Peace and The Fury, opening August 20 to September 20.

Coinciding with the Singapore Biennale in October, the gallery will launch a group exhibition curated by Singapore based arts historian and writer Yvonne Wang, exploring the theme of threads (both material and metaphorical), featuring works by Kanchana Gupta, Gregory Hodge and Alex Seton.

Sullivan+Strumpf’s current Singapore Studio is set to close this week, with a short period of transition leading into the launch of the new gallery.
