This July, The Projector is teaming up with Singapore Art Museum and artist Heman Chong for a special film programme. It’s part of the public events surrounding Chong’s latest survey exhibition This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness; an intentionally unwieldy title that hints at the open-ended nature of his work. Chong has selected two films that deeply influenced him as a young artist in the late 90s, offering audiences a glimpse into the cinematic moments that helped shape his creative journey.
The line-up includes Beau Travail by Claire Denis, showing for one night only on 19 July, followed by Wong Kar-Wai’s Happy Together on 26 July. Both films explore themes of longing, movement, memory, and the often lonely spaces in between. Screened exclusively at The Projector Cineleisure, these are rare opportunities to catch two iconic works back on the big screen. For film lovers and curious minds alike, it’s a chance to revisit or perhaps discover, stories that still resonate decades later.
When: 19 July & 26 July
Where: 8 Grange Road 5th floor, Singapore 239695

When: 12 July - 9 August, 12pm to 7pm (closed Mondays and Sundays)

At a time when art spaces can often feel intimidating or out of reach, Supper House is quietly inviting you to their space. Their latest initiative—a series of pop-up exhibitions nestled within the Journey East furniture store—blurs the lines between the everyday and the extraordinary. Ong Si Hui’s opening show, 開門見山, is a prime example as its serene sculptural works invite reflection, not spectacle, and carry the weight of time and travel in their quiet forms.
With new “micro-shows” appearing regularly and an upcoming satellite exhibition at Jurong West’s Blk 505 wet market, they’re proving that art doesn’t need a pristine gallery or polished crowd to make an impact. By meeting people where they are—whether browsing furniture or buying bok choy—they’re chipping away at the idea that art is something separate from life.
When: Now till 29 July, 10am to 6pm
Where: Journey East Store, #03-02 Tan Boon Liat Building
Having made its rounds in Paris, London, and Colombia, Jurassic World: The Experience is now stomping its way onto our sunny shores—more specifically, into the cool, lush foliage of the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay. Expect to encounter towering, lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, such as a roaring Tyrannosaurus emerging from a wreath of mist, or a Stygimoloch attempting to free itself from a freight container. There’s even an 8.5-metre-tall Brachiosaurus ready to greet you, surrounded by 3D replicas of long-extinct plants dating back to the Jurassic period.
Do be warned that the effects are highly realistic, so it’s worth mentally preparing your child if you have one of those. But if they do end up in tears, there are petting stations where baby dinosaurs are ready to sniff their hands and be petted.
When: Now till 31 December 2025, 9am to 9pm daily

After months spent piecing together stories in thread and ink, Shian’s debut solo show, Harbinger, lands like a quiet spell. Drawing from Chinese folk imagery and dreamlike fragments, the exhibition slips between worlds. Tigers curl around lotus ponds, odd frogs linger in the corners, and each work hums with a sense of otherworldly presence.
Rooted in intuition and charged with quiet magic, Shian’s work meditates on what it means to move through thresholds. It’s a show best wandered through slowly, letting each piece pull at something unspoken. Opening night promises not just a glimpse into Shian’s world but a full immersion—textiles, tears, and maybe a strange sense of clarity in the chaos.
When: 28 June - 20 July, 1pm to 6pm (closed Mondays and Sundays)
Where: Chaos Gallery, Knuckles & Notch, 261 Waterloo Street #02-25
