TO A WARMER NOVEMBER

Welcome to November as it fades into shades of blue, leaving us resigned to the silver icy frost of December. But fret not! It is in the frigid cold that we find the warmth of the hearth.

As we conclude the end of the term, take your fond memories with you like a winter coat to heat the inevitable cold nights this holiday season. Let your formatives flake away with the blistering winds and enjoy the holidays!

We wish you the best!

EXHIBITS WELL WORTH A LOOK

Mark Metcalfe: Altars: Love Under Will

@ jd malat gallery

7 november to 7 december

This exhibit, somewhat a continuation of the themes of the last issue, engages with the enduring symbols of feminity, power, and mysticism. It highlights the elements of Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Spirit, a reminder of how winter, despite its dreariness and cold, tells us to keep each other closer and keep that fire burning in our souls as we wait for the holidays.

The lounge space brings the exhibit together and keeps the cosy winter vibes alive!

@ pace gallery

20 november to 21 December

Every piece is a treat to discover, and some even reflect the viewer back at them. You are not only soul-searching but also engaging with the indefinable something that keeps us all connected, perfect for the winter months.
