The Temp
We love pop-ups, and here’s a new one that’s arguably one of the most interesting so far. 4,000 sq. ft. Temporium has just opened in Little India, carrying a cool range of clothes, ceramics, books and curios, including local brands like menswear label Sundays upstairs, while downstairs is where food and coffee can be had, created especially for the space by Chye Seng Huat Hardware’s Leon Foo and Wild Rocket’s Willin Low. Go get your fix at 72 Dunlop St. before it disappears in about five months. It’s open Tue-Sun between 9am-10pm.
Cultural Cache
Budding young designers and artists now have a new space to showcase their creations. New, smallish art gallery Culture Square is the latest of the affordable art (look out for the upcoming Affordable Art Fair later in November) which offers original works from just $170. “Many people want original art in their homes but do not want to pay thousands of dollars for it,“ says founder Toni Chan. Currently on show are funky pieces by Singapore-based artists like Nicola Anthony and Zoya Chaudhary. In October, look out for The Elements of Play show by artists Bradley Foisset and Deusa Blumke.
Fright Night
Fine, so Halloween’s not happening till the end of Oct, but here’s one that’s got us all psyched up. The Rocky Horror party at 1-Altitude on Oct 26, 9pm, based on the classic movie of the same name, promises to be a hoot. The décor for one, will evoke the spirit of the film, with lots of zany characters, and the most innovatively dressed walking home with the Best Dressed Award.
