| SAMCollection: The Present is Unstable Date: 2 October 2026 – 18 July 2027 Venue: Gallery 4, Level 3, SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark Admission: General Admission (Free for Singaporeans and PRs) |
How can a museum’s collection stay responsive to a world in flux? Singapore Art Museum (SAM) poses this question in its most experimental collection presentation to date, SAMCollection: The Present is Unstable. The third in a series of exhibitions showcasing artworks from the Collection of SAM, it invites visitors to see a changing world through an exhibition that changes with it.
From 2 October 2026, visitors will encounter a first set of artworks, including Hao Jingban’s I Witness, a three-channel installation commissioned by the Han Nefkens Foundation, Mori Art Museum, M+, Hong Kong, and SAM. A second set of works will be introduced from February 2027, creating fresh connections and juxtapositions within the gallery that give visitors reason to return as the exhibition evolves.
Rather than presenting a single narrative, the exhibition encourages visitors to chart their own path — tracing how artworks speak to one another, and forming their own connections across the ideas and perspectives that unfold through the gallery. As works are brought together alongside one another, they may surface concerns one unseen, threading questions from different moments into the world we inhabit today.
Through the periodic rotation of artworks, the exhibition takes on new rhythms and points of connection, reflecting the tensions, affinities and uncertainties that shape our experience of the present.
As part of the opening programme, visitors can join a conversation with Hao Jingban and Han Nefkens, alongside a curator-led tour offering deeper insights into the exhibition. Further public programmes will take place throughout its run, offering more ways to engage with the artworks and ideas as they take shape.

SAMCollection: The Present is Unstable

博物馆的馆藏如何回应一个不断变化的世界？
Singapore Art Museum (SAM) 在迄今最具实验性的馆藏展览 SAMCollection: The Present is Unstable 中提出了这一问题。这是展示 SAM 馆藏作品系列展览中的第三场，邀请观众通过一个与世界一同变化的展览，感受一个不断变化的世界。
从2026年10月2日起，观众将首先看到第一组艺术作品，其中包括 Hao Jingban 的 I Witness。这是一件由 Han Nefkens Foundation、Mori Art Museum、M+、Hong Kong 以及 SAM 委约创作的三频道装置作品。
第二组作品将于2027年2月起推出，在展厅中形成新的联系与并置关系。随着展览不断发展，这些新的作品组合也将为观众再次参观提供新的理由。
展览并不呈现单一的叙事，而是鼓励观众探索自己的观看路径——追踪艺术作品之间如何彼此回应，并在贯穿展厅展开的各种理念与观点之间建立自己的联系。
当不同作品彼此并置时，它们可能会呈现出一些此前未曾被察觉的议题，将来自不同时间点的问题相互串联，并延伸至我们今天所生活的世界。
通过定期轮换展出的艺术作品，展览将呈现出新的节奏与连接点，反映出塑造我们当下体验的种种张力、共鸣与不确定性。
作为开幕活动的一部分，观众可以参加 Hao Jingban 与 Han Nefkens 的对谈，以及由策展人带领的导览，从而进一步了解展览。
在展览期间，还将陆续举行更多公众活动，为观众提供更多方式与艺术作品及其所呈现的理念进行互动，并随着这些作品与理念逐渐展开而进一步参与其中。
