    Presented by The Culture Story

    14 December 2024 – 30 May 2025

    Guided tour on 14 December by Mr Chong Huai Seng from 2.30pm.

    Open daily during Singapore Art Week 2025: 17 – 26 January 2025, 11am – 5pm

    All other visits by appointment.

    “The Second Sex” is inspired by Simone de Beauvoir’s classic book and will feature over 20 artworks by 16 Singaporean and international female artists. These works were collected over the last ten years by Mr. Chong Huai Seng and Ms Ning Chong, the co-founders of The Culture Story. In recent art discourse, feminism has taken on a new voice and women power has reasserted itself in the 21st century, from politics (Angela Merkel, Kamala Harris) to pop music (Taylor Swift, BlackPink) to the visual arts (Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama). Museums all over the world are now actively collecting and promoting more female artists as they try to fill the gaps in their collection and exhibition programmes respectively. In contemporary art especially, women artists are no longer viewed any differently from their male counterparts, resonating strongly amongst the millennial female collectors. We hope this exhibition will encourage further conversations about female representation in the canon of global art history.
