Get The Picture
In Singapore’s historic Tiong Bahru Air Raid Shelter (constructed during the 1930s and formerly a children’s playground), “99 Years” gathered nine artists from across Asia who explored life’s temporal nature through digital art and new media. Friends of a+ were invited to this fascinating showcase, which featured, among other works, Bianca Tse’s (Hong Kong) reimagining of her hometown as a vertical city built on borrowed time and Boedi Widjaja’s (Indonesia) reflections on ancestry and memories through bio-art and interactive DNA encoding. The party was treated to art-food pairings (BigO), South African vintages (Wine to Share), and lager (Heineken Silver) after a special guided tour.
High Time
A week after Vacheron Constantin’s newly renovated flagship boutique at ION Orchard opened, friends of a+ gathered there for an evening of savoir-faire and legacy. Guests got up-close looks at the Swiss manufacture’s special and iconic models in dedicated display zones, while an in-house watchmaker shared insights into the skills and techniques behind each timepiece. Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest watch company, founded in 1755.
