Located in the living room of a Punggol flat, launches its inaugural exhibition titled <em>Meet and Greet the Parallelism<\/em> by Singaporean-Canadian artist <strong>Dominique Hui<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dominique Hui is a Singapore-born multimedia artist whose practice explores traditional art materials and digital mediums. After spending 28 years away from Singapore, Dominique returns with a renewed perspective shaped by experiences in Toronto, Canada. Her homecoming marks an exciting chapter, culminating in the exhibition <em>Meet and Greet the Parallelism<\/em> at the Post Museum\u2014a poignant dialogue between past and present, home and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Meet and Greet the Parallelism<\/em> exhibition offers a moment of reconnection, not only for Dominique but also for Singapore\u2019s art community. Hui brings a voice that feels both fresh and familiar\u2014a synthesis of her international experiences and her enduring ties to home. Through this exhibition, Dominique Hui invites us to consider the intersections of time, place, and identity, contributing a vital perspective to Singapore\u2019s evolving artistic discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThis exhibition is a quiet return\u2014an invitation to think about how identity shifts across time zones and technologies, and how heritage can be reactivated through new forms,\u201d<\/em> says Hui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instagram: <\/strong>@dominiquehuipaintings<br><strong>Website: <\/strong>dominiquehui@tumblr.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cGuest Room is about making space in the everyday\u2014for reflection, experimentation, and reconnection,\u201d says Tien, organiser and spokesperson for Guest Room + Post-Museum. \u201cIt\u2019s a soft launch, but also a gesture. Starting in the home, we\u2019re rethinking where art happens, hosting and how intimacy might open new kinds of public conversation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guest Room offers a domestic setting for intimate exhibitions, experiments, and conversations.

It is an in-between space\u2014part living room, part project space. Guest Room supports curatorial experiments, micro-projects, and intimate gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guest Room invites reflection on what it means to host, to arrive, and to share space. This is not a space defined by audience numbers or spectacles. Instead, it is a space for slower encounters, deeper conversations, and subtle shifts in how the public sphere is experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, it is not just the space itself that makes the Guest Room possible, but the spirit and agency of the host. In this context, we are all hosts, and each of us has the capacity to create space for change and exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Do you have a guest room to share?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-Museum launches Guest Room, an in-between space\u2014part living room, part project space\u2014exploring how the everyday can connect with ideas of hospitality and practice!
