Scene & Heard: Barnadas Huang, Mosaic Music Festival, Singaplural and more
The Rain in Spain You’d think Dempsey art newcomer Barnadas Huang would lose steam after their grand debut of diverse contemporary European art last year, but in fact the current exhibition Blazing City (through Mar 1) is just as impressive, if not more so. Spanish painter Ulpiano Carrasco transforms Singapore’s cityscapes from hygienic blandness and […]

Celebrity chef Mario Batali’s Singapore outpost is a sleek space with marble counters and dark wood.

The vibe: That glossy-gold, white-marble-dipped look that Robinsons has had for decades is—thankfully—gone. Sleek black-framed displays and racks pepper the mammoth […]
The Redundant Shop
The buzz: This lifestyle store—the retail arm of Redundant Magazine—is the newest kid on the block at Everton Park.
