Welcome to the inaugural 'Journey East: Showroom Stories'
In this premiere episode, we sit down with Ashley Chiam, the dynamic founder of multidisciplinary art platform Supper House, and an esteemed figure in Singapore's art community.
Ashley shares his personal journey, the philosophy behind Supper House, and his unique approach to creating meaningful conversations through art. We dive deep into the Supper House collaboration with Journey East, specifically the thought process behind the 8-month long 开门见山 series of art installations in our showroom, and get insights for anyone aspiring to start their own art collection.
This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of art, design, and culture in Singapore.
