‘MONO’, Black & White Art Show by Kult Gallery
MONO is a body of monochromatic work by two exciting young local artists, Aeropalmics (Dawn Ang) and Chris Chai, aiming to showcase how traditional black and white imagery fits into the realm of contemporary art. In the spirit of black and white, Mono will also feature projection mapping by audio visual collective, New Media Assembly (NMA), as well as music from 8pm to midnight by art and music collective, Good Times.
MONO is running from 22 April to 3 June 2016 at Kult Gallery. For more details, check out the event page here.
