CO PLAY - A New Creative Hub For Local Artists and Toy Collectors

Hi Huneybees,

There's a new playground in town for local and international artists and their fans. If you are an avid pop culture art collector like me and hubby, you are definitely in for a treat! Come on down to CO PLAY in Plaza Singapura, a first-of-its-kind communal habitat that's decked with an extensive collection of designer art and collectibles of various mediums.

It's an amazing space where artists can gain exposure and interact with their fans, bringing vibrancy to the local art scene. Just right above the Pop Mart, you can find this creative space and keep a close tab on their social media as there will always be workshops as well as artist interaction.

Connecting Collectors & Public with Artists

To foster a community to drive local indie art development, CO PLAY has assembled a diverse cast of artists to showcase Singapore's rich artistic tapestry. You can find 6 local artists-in-residence - Eric Chew (@sapientoystudio), Jeremy Tanavit (@Tanavit23), Lester Lim (@lesdoublewood), Rex Le (@my_spacecats), Toby Tan (@tobyato) and Yang (@yang_ovo), with their very own open studio booths. Popping by at different times, you can find them working on their latest projects. I like to explore the space, enjoy the artworks and chat with them on the concepts behind their works...

Eric Chew (@sapientoystudio)

Founded in 2020 by Eric, Sapien Toy Studio has gained a cult fanbase of his iconic Chewthulhu character, an artist's take on the mighty cosmic entity Cthulhu. He has released over 10 colour variants worldwide and is welcoming more sapien monsters into the lineup. He will be launching new characters including Elo and Kora-Kora at CO PLAY!

Jeremy Tanavit (@Tanavit23)

Created in Singapore but raised on a tasty diet of Thai values, Jeremy aka JEM is best known for his creation, the mischievous JEM - a playful tiger character that's always on the prowl for something fun to do, poking his head around corners and turning the streets into his playground, juxtaposing the fierce and the cute. Check out different variations of JEM and his companion Pitohui, that's actually inspired by a poisonous bird! 

Lester Lim (@lesdoublewood)

Lester a well-established name in the local creative industry, making splashes in the local art scene with his bold outlined Jelilo character. Inspired by the beauty and unique flair of jellyfish, Jelilo is the artist's charming rendition of the ocean's quiet residents, showcasing a soft-bodied creature with a retro-futurism style and a strong message of anti-bullying.

Rex Lee (@my_spacecats)

With just a marker pen, Rex has won the popular appeal of transforming works through the use of stippling. His 2D-styled booth makes an amazing space for photos, walk into it and discover his intricate works featuring his signature Space Cat character. 

You have got to check out his customized Molly and Bearbrick, zoom in on all the details to see all his fine work...

Toby Tan (@tobyato)

A name that has been tied to street culture, Tobyato's bold, striking artworks are inspired by Chinese motifs and playful influences that reflect both his own heritage and personality. The urban visual artist has already worked with multiple brands such as UNIQLO, G-SHOCK, Shake Shack, Levi's, etc. His 'dumpling shop' at CO PLAY showcases his urban art creations into morsels of bite-sized art for everyday consumption!

Yang (@yang_ovo)

Pop into this fairycore-inspired space of Yang, where you can find her signature OOJA in various customized looks. Being a cancer fighter, OOJA was birthed as a whimsical concept of a brave little girl who wants to positively impact the world through an exploration of health and food, hence the Campbell soup body for the character. There's a custom OOJA contest going on, check out the details on her insta.

With the mandate to support the development of the local arts scene through growing artists and creatives, CO PLAY has also attracted support from organizations sharing the same objectives. This year, UNIQLO Singapore is partnering CO PLAY to encourage shoppers to support local arts and cultural communities #WithUT over two weekends at the Orchard Central Global Flagship Store. To launch this partnership, CO PLAY’s artists-in-residences created a new UTme! collection – Playful Memories, and will also be creating live art sessions for shoppers at UNIQLO Orchard Central to be part of these activities.

Bringing Art to Life Through Exploration & Collaborations

Beyond the open studios by local artists-in-residences, CO PLAY is also the enabling platform for new creative talents exploring the world of designer art toys, and for established artists to dive deeper into the world of Intellectual Property creation.

There is painter Angelina Lim (@ellalinaart) who has recently started creating custom art toys as well as conducting live art sessions within CO PLAY; visual artist wunderkind Sam Lo (@skl0), best known for his large-scale vibrant murals all over the island, has also painted a wall mural at CO PLAY, and will be showcasing his urban artworks as well as launching his art toy series at this space.

To further tap into a diverse pool of visual and urban artists who are keen to explore creating their own designer art-toys, CO PLAY has also partnered with artist Taketo Kobayashi (@humanoise) to launch an initiative Proto Toyz, a visionary project to create bespoke artworks and collectibles in limited runs for renowned local artists including Adeline Tan (@yell0w), ANTZ (@antz_rscls), Boon Baked (@boonbaked), Chris Chai (@cosmicchai), Farizwan Fajari (@speakcryptic), Kit (@kitctrlaltdelyou), Race Krehel (@supercybertown), Williem Siddik (@siddwills), ZERO (@zero_x_rscls_o) and more.

Andre Tan (@andretanart)

Other partners include Wasuka Art (@wasuka.art) to feature talented pop artists from Singapore including Andre Tan (@andretanart) whose popular works focus on the impact of popular brands and contemporary cultural icons delivered through vivid colours and witty humour, Kin (@kin80) who is known for his colourful world of wonderful characters amidst surreal landscapes in local context, as well as Emily Moh (@em_ceramic_art) best known for her whimsical pop art creations in ceramics. Beyond the local talents, there are also key works from international artists such as Piao Cheng Long (@piao_chenglong_art) from China and Buakow Phasom (@buakowphasom) from Thailand. With their distinct styles and unique perspectives, these artists bring a diverse range of pop art to CO PLAY, each reflecting their individual personalities and the different cultures that they are influenced by.

CO PLAY also hosts overseas artists including Benzilla (@benzilla ) from Thailand, Distort Monsters (@distortmonsters) from the Philippines, as well as Daytoner (@day_toner) from Canadian studio Purearts (@pureartsofficial). These exchanges have further fostered collaboration opportunities with local artists. Through this space, Benzilla collaborated with COPLAY artist-in-residence Jeremy Tanavit to launch a new designer art-toy ‘BIRDZILLA’, a combination of Tanavit’s Pitohui character with Benzilla’s signature ‘LOOOK’ design.

Created my own ceramic piece with Emily Moh.

Creating The Collectors’ Playground

Remember those days when weekend toy flea markets were the big thing? Shopping for limited edition or rare finds was the biggest accomplishment and to bring back that nostalgic feeling, CO PLAY has an on-site collectors’ bazaar corner.  Collectors will set up stalls in the space every Saturday between 4pm to 8pm to sell both pre-loved and mint vintage toys, designer figures, and rare collectibles.

Beyond the collectors’ bazaar, there will also be workshops conducted by artists, ranging from illustraton and painting to pottery, where you can look forward to getting your creative juices flowing and producing your very own art pieces under the guidance of the artists including Rex Lee, Angelina Lim and Emily Moh!

Truly the melting pot for artists and collectors to connect and interact, CO PLAY inspires new creative journeys into the world of designer art collectibles and artworks. Other than inspiring artists to collaborate and engage, this concept space enables both artists and the public alike to bring their imaginations to life as artworks and collectibles and is the creative platform to represent Singapore’s developing pop culture and arts scene to the rest of the world. Come pop by and see you at CO PLAY!

Rurouni Kenshin Is Set To Make A Comeback This July 2023

Hi Huneybees,

Yes! The 90s is back and it's time for a Rurouni Kenshin reboot. With over 72 million copies of the comic series sold and a total box office revenue of 19.3 billion yen from the live-action movie series, the legendary masterpiece loved by all generations worldwide, the legendary Battousai with the iconic cross scar - Rurouni Kenshin is coming back to life as a brand-new TV anime in July 2023!

The Rurouni Kenshin manga is a Shonen classic series that debuted in 1994 in the Weekly Shonen Jump and was adapted into an anime in 1996 while the manga was still publishing. Since then, it has undergone numerous developments, from OVAs to theatrical releases, and now with Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc serializing in Jump SQ.

This long-awaited work aims to reconstruct the original story from the first episode using the latest animation technology, to create a Rurouni Kenshin anime that will appeal to current anime fans. With Linden Films helming the production, talented staff such as director Hideyo Yamamoto (Strike the Blood) and Hideyuki Kurata (Made in Abyss) for series composition were gathered, and the cast members are also renewed, with Soma Saito in the role of Kenshin Himura.

Last weekend, I caught the fan screening of the first 4 episodes at Shaw Theatres Lido. The story was very much what I used to watch, but one can see the animation greatly enhanced, especially with the fight scenes being more smooth.

For those who have not watched Rurouni Kenshin before, the story is set ten years after the Bakumatsu era, an era of a raging war that was caused by citizens uprising against the Tokugawa shogunate. Any kind of arm is banned, but murder often happens in the street. Orphans and veterans are scattered here and there, while the new government is busy filling their pockets with money. Though the uprising was a success and a new era of Meiji began, peace was greatly desired.

So, comes along a samurai - Kenshin Himura, who wanders around the streets. In the past, he was called Hitokori Battousai (Sword-drawing Manslayer), because of his role in slaying hundreds of enemies in war. Now, he vows not to kill again, going to fights with a Sakabato (Reverse-Blade Sword).
In the 11th year of Meiji, Kenshin meets Kaoru Kamiya, owner of a small dojo that is threatened to be close down. After interfering with the threats and staying on to protect, the story unfolds...

I can't wait for this new Rurouni Kenshin anime series to make its grand debut on screens worldwide. I'll be updating more once I have more information.

Tons of Interactivity At This Year's i Light 2023

Hi Huneybees,

Phew! There's so much happening this June at Marina Bay and I'm playing octopus here trying to keep up with my articles and social media postings. I shared about GastroBeats in my previous post and this one's dedicated to i Light Singapore 2023 itself.

Curated to the theme of A New Wave this year, most of the artworks are anchored on the colour

blue which is omnipresent in nature’s blue spaces such as oceans and rivers, and often associated with emotions such as calmness and serenity, inspiring us to contribute to a more sustainable future as we interact with each installation.

If you are making plans to head down, here are some tips...

1) Not just for the weekends

This year's i Light is not only happening over weekends, so to beat the crowd, try making plans to check them out on weekdays instead. I bet it will save you more time trying to "erase" these people from your Instaworthy shots.

2) Get geared up

Spreading across more areas like South Beach and Millenia Walk, be sure to dress comfy and cool. Prepare your mini fans, and chilled drinks and get ready to clock those steps, or get geared up and rent a bicycle to enjoy these art pieces whilst enjoying the breeze along Marina Bay. 

3) Fringe Programmes

This year's iLight will see a lot of fringe events alongside the light installations, so take note of these dates if any catches your eyes...

● GastroBeats

Bayfront Event Space (4pm – 11pm daily)

As the Festival Village of i Light Singapore, GastroBeats offers a month-long celebration of good food, good music and good fun with can delicacies served up by 50 homegrown F&B vendors and live performances by talented local musicians from a variety of genres, such as 53A and Tabula.

*General admission to the Festival Village is free, while charges apply for selected activities. 

● Lightwave: Turning the Tide, presented by Alibaba Cloud

The Promontory at Marina Bay 

Weekdays: Sunday to Thursday – 7.30pm to 11pm (last experience at 10.40pm)

Weekends: Friday and Saturday – 7.30pm to 12am (last experience at 11.40pm)

Lightwave: Turning the Tide imagines a future where human exploits have damaged the world around us irrevocably. Transported to an underwater world, visitors are left to ponder: How have we come to this? Through three unfolding chapters of thought-provoking multi-sensorial light experiences, explore how our way of life has impacted nature, and be inspired to make a change and turn the tide.

*Admission tickets are priced at SGD5 each and can be purchased from Klook.

● Light Wash

Key buildings and bridges across Marina Bay precinct

7.30pm – 11pm daily (with extended hours to 12am on Fridays and Saturdays)

In line with the Festival’s colour theme for this edition, key buildings and bridges around the Bay will be lit up in a blue hue on Festival nights, complementing the light art installations and evoking a tranquil ambience.

*Tickets for the guided tour are free and available on a first-come-first-served basis. Sign up here to reserve a spot.

4) Make a pledge

i Light i Pledge, presented by Alibaba Cloud

This year, the Festival is once again partnering susGain, a local social enterprise championing sustainability, on i Light i Pledge. Pledge your commitment to eco-conscious practices by making small but impactful changes in your daily lifestyles to cultivate sustainable habits.

● The Switch Off, Turn Up (SOTU) pledge calls for all to switch off non-essential lighting and turn up air-conditioning temperatures during and beyond the festival period. Since the Festival’s inception in 2010, SOTU has been a key component of i Light Singapore’s sustainability drive. The initiative has rallied many building owners, corporations and businesses around and beyond Marina Bay to

reduce their energy consumption in lighting and air-conditioning. This year, over 100 buildings and properties will be participating in the initiative (see list of participants here). The programme has also been extended to the public and schools for the first time this year.

● The Be a Zero Hero pledge encourages the public to adopt zero-waste habits such as reducing the use of single-use items and food waste. For each pledge submitted by participants up to the first 5,000 pledges, All Clear - a sustainability enterprise providing offshore and ocean clean-ups - will remove 100g of waste from Singapore waterways. As such, up to 500 kg of waste will be removed as an outcome of the pledge. 

For each pledge submitted online, a visual that is unique to each pledge will be generated using Alibaba Cloud’s AI technologies. The visuals can be viewed on i Light i Pledge’s website and as part of the last chapter at Lightwave: Turning the Tide. This initiative aims to demonstrate how a small step taken by an individual can contribute to a larger sustainability objective. Take part in the i Light i Pledge here and stand to win attractive prizes.

5) Key Highlights

This edition will see 22 artists from eight countries coming together to showcase 14 captivating light art installations. There's a few that caught my eye and I feel are definitely not to be missed...

● Tree Man by ENESS (Australia)

Location: Event Square

Encircling a sapling in his arms, Tree Man provides sanctuary for a young tree while carving out an inner sanctum for visitors. Falling into his arms feels so warm, so protected as though hugging a real-life BayMax, so comfy to just lean against it.

As one enters the arms of Tree Man, light switches across a spectrum of colours, and sparse melodies on top of a forest-inspired soundtrack are triggered, leaving one to wonder if we can ever find a balance between the digital and natural world. The act of nurturing and connecting with our environment is emphasised in these whimsical light sculptures. Emitting light with heads that are shaped like digital screens, the artwork invites reflection on humans’ insatiable preoccupation with devices, which could be detrimental to our circadian rhythms. 

● Glacier Dreams by Refik Anadol Studio (USA) and Julius Baer

Location: Façade of ArtScience Museum

Inspired by both the beauty and fragility of glaciers, Glacier Dreams is the result of a groundbreaking, long-term research project involving machine learning, environmental studies, and multi-sensory media art. Visual materials collated from publicly available data and institutional archives, together with glacier images personally collected by Refik Anadol in Iceland, are processed through machine learning algorithms and transformed into Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based multi-sensory narratives.

The artist, together with his Los Angeles-based team, hopes to raise awareness of climate change and rising sea levels through poetic glacier-themed experiences, and also contribute to the study of glaciers with their existing AI tools.

● Trumpet Flowers by Amigo & Amigo (Australia)

Location: Clifford Square

Inspired by gramophones, these super-sized flowers burst to life occasionally with a specially commissioned musical score by Otis Studio, accompanied by some of Sydney’s finest jazz musicians. Immerse yourself in this playful and fun musical garden using the interactive keys and try to activate to "whole band". I love how everyone comes together to create a beautiful piece of music, bring in your friends or simply work with the other visitors...

● Résonances by Louis-Philippe Rondeau in collaboration with ELEKTRA (Canada)

Location: Open Plaza, OUE Bayfront

Résonances is an interactive installation that embodies the inexorable passage of time. It seeks to reveal the limit between present and past. As an arch of light appears in darkness, a temporal portal emerges. When visitors cross this threshold, their image will be projected onto the adjacent wall and seem deployed in time through the slit-scan technique. In this visual metaphor, the past constantly takes over the present, and visitors will see their own image fade inexorably into the oblivion of white light. The artwork emphasises that all light is the manifestation of events that have already occurred; the twinkle we see in the night sky is but a bygone snapshot of the stars. Try walking through the portal in different poses, with different people and create your very own timeline artwork.

● Show III by Chen Jiawen, Lai Ling Ling Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Singapore) and James Cook University  (Singapore)

Location: South Beach Main Entrance (next to JW Marriott Singapore South Beach drop-off point)

What does one usually think about in the shower? Let's take a quick one in public?

Inspired by a belief that showers are perfect settings for self-contemplation, Show III is an invitation to unwind outdoors by soaking in its calming blue light, with the company of a composed soundscape and virtual water droplets. The act of showering without water serves as a reminder for visitors to reflect on their water usage. It also aims to provide an alternative environment where one can be free of worries in the bustle of the city.

Ok, spoilers up to here, the rest is for you to experience and enjoy.

i Light Singapore 2023, presented by DBS, will be held from 1 to 25 June 2023, 7.30pm to 11.00pm daily with extended hours to 12.00am on Fridays and Saturdays. Admission is free, while charges apply for certain programmes. Visit https://www.ilightsingapore.gov.sg for more information.

DBS Invites You To “IGNITE YOUR SPARK” at i Light Singapore & GastroBeats 2023!

Hi Huneybees,

i Light Singapore and GastroBeats are back this June and DBS is back as the presenting sponsor this year. This builds on DBS’ ongoing efforts in and around the Marina Bay area to give back to the community, including the recent launch of a multi-year partnership with Esplanade to provide more experiences for people to discover and express themselves - #selfcare, sustainable living, and being future-ready.

Themed “Ignite Your Spark” DBS invites festival goers to bring out the best in you and help shape a better, brighter world. With 6 zones to experience, DBS brings you through a journey of fun games, activities, and Instagrammable visual installations, including an artwork - ‘Blumiwave’ that will later be recycled and given a new lease of life.

Simply access your DBS passport by scanning a QR code on your mobile phone, and collect just 4 digital stamps by participating in various experiences within the DBS Zone. Completing this task, you will stand to win DBS swag (limited stocks only) and, in line with the bank’s aim of galvanizing the community to drive collective good, you will also be able to pay it forward (in a partnership between DBS and Food from the Heart) in supporting meal donations to families in need.

Start your festival journey with 'Blumiwave' at Mist Walk, an artwork that aims to raise awareness of blue energy, an alternative renewable energy source harnessed from the sea and river waters. Created by local artists from DP Design, Blumiwave features ‘crashing’ sculptural waves made of a carefully weaved fabric of safety nets and scaffolding salvaged from construction sites. Here, the team transforms what is normally perceived as unsightly materials into a space that invites multiple interpretations of the mundane and its possibilities.

In the spirit of giving discarded materials a new lease of life, all plastics used in the build of Blumiwave will be recycled by Magorium after the festival. Supported by DBS Foundation, Magorium is a social enterprise that converts plastic waste into a sustainable construction material called ‘NEWBitumen’, which can be used to pave eco-roads. ‘NEWBitumen’ was also used in paving the driveway of DBS Newton Green, Singapore’s first net zero building by a bank.

Stepping into the GastroBeats grounds, you will find the DBS Zone on your right. Key highlights at the DBS Zone include Find Your Spark, where a Glambot camera will capture you in cinematic, slow-motion video reels in an experience befitting of the red carpet – you know that tutu gown Ariana Grande moment taken by Cole Walliser? Yup, that's it! Be the first in Singapore to experience that Glambot moment! You can also glam up your Glambot reels with accessories from Fashion Pulpit - a social enterprise that aims to promote environmental education and awareness in the field of fashion.

*Don't forget to post those Glambot videos on Instagram along with a creative caption about self-love. The 3 best entries will win an Apple Watch SE (worth SGD 380) each!

For those who like a little challenge, pit against your friends and family in Eco Row and Glow, where you will be power rowing to light up the tree installation. If not, pit your reflexes and financial smarts at Money Matchmaker and Made for Travel, where you will be time-pressed to solve challenges on your feet.

My favorite is over at the POSB Money Smarts, a play zone where learning about money matters is made fun of through specially designed digital artboards and animations on each "ATM" machine.

As we are all enjoying the festival, DBS will also be working its magic in the back, working with like-minded businesses for impact and community partners throughout the month-long festival to bring to life its vision of paving the way towards a more inclusive, sustainable, and better society.

Food waste will be transformed into animal feed and fertilizers. Ento Industries, also a business for impact supported by DBS Foundation, is coming in as GastroBeats’ food waste solution partner! Using its horde of Black Soldier Flies, all food waste collected from festival goers and vendors at GastroBeats will be sent to Ento Industries for conversion into high-value end products such as animal feed and fertilizers.

 

From 6pm to 7pm every Friday and Saturday, DBS will also be presenting an enthralling line-up of performances by local talents who exemplify what it means to rise above life’s challenges. From jazz and classical piano and drumming performances, to pop music and soprano acts and more, you can expect to be blown away by these talented and resilient individuals who embody what it truly means to be a hero.

i Light Singapore 2023 and GastroBeats 2023 are taking place from 1 to 25 June!
