Last week, we had the joy of opening Knots of Time: Marriage Then and Now at the National Library Building (Plaza), as part of Singapore Art Week 2026. The exhibition features portraits of married couples, captured over two years by veteran photographer Leong Ka Tai (@leongkatai), tracing how relationships endure, shift, and deepen over time.

Our heartfelt thanks to all the couples who so generously shared their stories, and to Mr Leong for his thoughtful collaboration with DECK. We’re also deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for the opening and took the time to engage with the many narratives woven through the exhibition.

Knots of Time (@knots.of.time) is on view at the National Library Building (Plaza) until 1 Feb 2026. We invite you to spend time with these stories and reflect on how love moves through time 💛.

The exhibition also features an artist talk coming up on 24 Jan, from 2PM to 3.30PM at National Library Building. Register for “Knots of Time: In Conversation with Mr Leong Ka Tai” via the link in our bio!

From 17 Jan to 28 Feb 2026, visit Shop–House by DECK to experience Memory of the Wound, an evocative installation by our Artist-in-Residence, Hiền Hoàng (@hiennhoangg) from Vietnam.

Bringing together fragments from her recent works, “Scent from Heaven” and “Garden of Entanglement” with new materials collected during her residency, the exhibition explores how landscapes and trees carry traces of human presence – from visible cultivation to the invisible scars of memory, care, and data.

Through video, metal prints, and organic matter, Hiền Hoàng reflects on the entangled histories of beauty and destruction, inviting viewers to consider what nature remembers and what we choose to forget. Swipe through for a sneak peek into her creative processes and behind-the-scenes moments during her installation!

Last Thursday, we gathered at Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall to celebrate the opening of In Our Own Frame, an exhibition shaped by shared moments, quiet observations, and many ways of seeing, as part of Singapore Art Week 2026.

A sincere thank you to the 22 photographers whose works make up this exhibition, featuring invited artists Donna Chiu (@donnachiu1225) and Kantaya New (@kantaya_new), alongside participants from WiSSG (@womeninstreetsg) and POV: Photowalk. We’re equally grateful to everyone who joined the POV: Photowalk series and took the time to walk through the space, look closely, and be part of the experience.

In Our Own Frame invites you to linger, reflect, and move through these images at your own pace. Catch the exhibition at Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall (@guocomidtown) until 31 March.

Stay tuned for a little giveaway happening soon!

As part of the DECK’s Artist-in-Residence programme, we are proud to present Monuments by Ryan Lim Zi Yi (@ryanzylim). Opening at Shop–House by DECK on 17 Jan, the exhibition transforms the "unspectacular" into the commemorative.

Scattered across pavements on long walks home, Ryan traces what is often overlooked – a discarded puzzle piece, a dead rat, a shoe print fossilised into wet concrete. Briefly illuminated by street lamps that flicker on in unison, these traces exist only for a moment before the city smooths itself over once more.

Through acts of documentation and reconfiguration, these found images become a form of contemporary archaeology. Each work holds a micro-history, revealing quiet stories of loss, love, chance, and meaning embedded within urban life. Presented on sculptural blocks erected to commemorate the unspectacular, Monuments proposes an alternative archive of the city.

Join us in witnessing these artefacts of the present!

We are pleased to open a new chapter of DECK’s Artist-In-Residence programme with Italian photographer, Camilla Marrese (@camillamarrese), whose practice engages deeply with images, text, and the ways meaning is constructed across contexts.

Selected through the 2025 Open Call of the Italo–Singaporean dual artistic residency programme, Camilla’s residency at Shop–House by DECK unfolds as part of an ongoing collaboration with Fotografia Calabria Festival (@fotografiacalabriafestival) and with the support of the Embassy of Italy in Singapore (@italyinsingapore). During her time here, she will be developing ideas for potential works in addition to her upcoming exhibition, Thinking Like an Island, opening at Shop–House by DECK on 17 January as part of Singapore Art Week 2026.

As she settles into the space, we look forward to witnessing how research, conversation, and quiet attention take shape through her residency. This is the beginning of a process, and we’re excited to follow where it leads!

Siamo lieti di aprire un nuovo capitolo del programma Artist-In-Residence di DECK con la fotografa italiana Camilla Marrese (@camillamarrese), la cui pratica si confronta in modo approfondito con le immagini, il testo e le modalità attraverso cui il significato si costruisce nei diversi contesti.

Selezionata attraverso la Open Call 2025 del programma di residenza artistica italo–singaporiano, la residenza di Camilla presso Shop–House by DECK si sviluppa nell’ambito di una collaborazione in corso con il Fotografia Calabria Festival (@fotografiacalabriafestival), con il supporto dell’Ambasciata d’Italia a Singapore (@italyinsingapore). Durante la sua permanenza, svilupperà idee per nuove opere, parallelamente alla preparazione della sua prossima mostra, Thinking Like an Island, che inaugurerà il 17 gennaio presso Shop–House by DECK nell’ambito della Singapore Art Week 2026.

Mentre prende confidenza con lo spazio, attendiamo con interesse di osservare come ricerca, dialogo e attenzione silenziosa prenderanno forma nel corso della sua residenza. Questo è l’inizio di un processo, e siamo entusiasti di seguirne gli sviluppi.

🎼 Born from images, sounds, and words contributed by the public, The People’s Graphic Score is an experimental audiovisual project by Song-Ming Ang that transforms collective fragments into live performance.

Across two evenings, these submissions are translated into original music by invited artist-musicians, unfolding differently each night in response to the material and the moment. Part concert, part experiment, part shared archive, the work invites us to listen closely to what emerges when many voices are held together.
