New Wave
Singapore's Contemporary Design Culture

Situated at the crossroads between east and west, Singapore`s young multi-cultural society is highly cosmopolitan and open to embracing and adopting diverse ideals and influences. Since the last decade, there has been a rise of a young generation of Singaporean creators. Working across design disciplines, they are inspiring a "New Wave" of contemporary cultural movement. They are shaping and re-defining Singapore’s new visual aesthetics, identity, language, vision and culture. At the heart of this lies a new culture of design.

The exhibition captures an exciting phase in Singapore`s culture as the island-state repositions itself as a new global design centre. It will showcase the works of designers who are establishing themselves as part of the "New Wave". The exhibition will also explore the conceptual theme of “New Identity”. 8 designers are invited to participate in this visual exploration through their own individual cross-disciplinary design concepts, processes, mediums and executions. The collection of “New Identities” from the individual designers, captures the sprit and vision for the future of Singapore's design landscape.
