"No need to ask, these are all treasures..."

The Substation is a little hub of contemporary art in Singapore, but for the month of September the centre has been taken over by an art collective called Post-Museum. The usual door is closed and visitors are invited to find the red door to enter behind the scenes.

I get a kick out of only getting to see the Substation in its new temporary taken-over state.

In one corner the Foodscape Collective plants herbs in a row of broken egg shells. In another is a new take on taxidermy, the natural slump of the dead Myna preserved on a page. 

My favourite pieces are by Jennifer Ng, called Treasures. "No need to ask," Jennifer writes next to an intricate tower, made with such obsessive care and particularity that it seems as personal as a dream or a diary entry, "these are all treasures."
