Art Stage Singapore, the signature art fair of Southeast Asia, opened its fifth edition on January 22 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center. Featuring 145 galleries (34 of which are Singapore-based), the fair has a strong foundation of Asia-based exhibitors and strives to bridge the various art epicenters across Asia.

If you don’t get a chance to head there, here are some fun events and booths we stumbled across during our tour of the fair.

One highlight for us was this book signing by art duo Gilbert & George, courtesy of Arndt Gallery, Berlin.
