BY THE PIERRE LORINET COLLECTION
ADVISED AND CURATED BY EDWARD MITTERRAND
10 JANUARY – 2 FEBRUARY 2025
FACTORY, NEW BAHRU, 58 KIM YAM ROAD
Held during Singapore Art Week at The Factory, New Bahru, this third exhibition explores space—from the vastness of the universe to the intimacy of human connection—within an 8,000 sq. ft. industrial warehouse.
Curated by Edward Mitterrand, the exhibition presents works by artists who recontextualise elements of nature, humanity, and architecture. Highlights include Ugo Rondinone’s celestial Starnight, Liz Deschenes’ sky-like void, Tracey Emin’s evocative body landscapes, Richard Long’s Spiral of driftwood, and Louise Bourgeois’ nurturing figures.
Through themes of displacement, materiality, and presence, the exhibition invites us to reflect on the spaces we inhabit and the connections they reveal—reminding us, as Ugo Rondinone said, that "The sky and space are the greatest themes of art."
Experience the collection’s immersive dialogue between art and space.

The park features the Silver House by renowned interior architect India Mahdavi and a garden designed by Louis Benech.
