The Design Show 2026 at Temasek Polytechnic

The Design Show marked the end of nearly 4 months of work for my peers and I at Temasek Polytechnic School of Design. The annual graduate exhibit had its closing night about three weeks ago and what seems to linger since feels light. There is this growing sense of relief and pride I have for…
Singapore Art Week 2026 – Joel’s Take

It’s been some time since we’ve done any reviews of galleries or exhibitions, so we decided to go for Singapore Art Week! In case you didn’t know, Singapore Art Week happens over a week, all over galleries and spaces in Singapore. Personally, I (Joel) enjoy going to Gillman Barracks, because it’s a little out of…
LASALLE and NAFA Graduation Showcase

It’s that time of the year again, where we see the graduating batches of art school students from NAFA and LASALLE!

TTR Hangout April 2025!

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally gotten all the collab group members together in one place! Ok not all our collab members, but almost every group we had was represented by one member at least. It took a bit of figuring out (two of our members went to our other office on…

RISO Printing Workshops with Through The Roof

At Singapore Art Book Fair 2024

Singapore Art Book Fair was a location we had dreamed of boothing at one day. After all, we’ve only been doing collab zines for about a year or two at most. Initially, we were rejected after applying. But by some divine means, we received an email saying that someone had dropped out, and we could…

KL Illustration Fair 2024

Reviewing the KL Illustration Fair 2024 by Joel Choong @trisected Last year, I visited the KL Art Book Fair in December. It was an exciting trip to Kuala Lumpur, a 5 hour bus ride from Singapore, and a 45min plane flight back. At that time, I had not experienced the capital state of Malaysia for…
SG Artbook Library review

Art has always been considered to be seen in a gallery, and so its accessibility has been limited to being viewed and understood within the spaces on white walls. However, the problem with accessibility is dependence on art theory; one can analyze the meaning of each piece to no end. All art has meaning, often…
