EXHIBITION: CHA JONG-RYE
(22 JANUARY-15 FEBRUARY)
REDSEA Gallery presents a solo
exhibition by Korean artist Cha Jong-
Rye, best known for her mesmerising
woodwork. Although her sculptures
look like solid carvings at first glance,
they are actually made from fragile
layers of wood, meticulously stacked
and then sanded down into smooth,
fluid shapes.
REDSEA Gallery, #01-10 Dempsey
Hill, Block 9 Dempsey Road.

COMEDY: HOSSAN-AH! SAFE
AND SECURE IN HIS LEONG
ARMS
(28 JANUARY-1 FEBRUARY)
Proud to be Singaporean through
and through, local funnyman Hossan
Leong will be giving a special salute
to the Lion City’s 50th year with a
thigh-slapping musical comedy. Filled
with his trademark tongue-in-cheek
jokes and over-the-top mannerisms, this
piano-led affair will make clever nods
to musical greats like Jamie Cullum
and Elton John, as well as beloved TV
themes from the 70s to the 90s.

Centre Theatre, Level 3 National
