Frida Forever
Frida Kahlo, the world-renowned Mexican artist and cultural icon, needs no introduction. Regarded as one of the most influential female artists of the 20th century, she is celebrated for her impactful self-portraits that delve into themes of identity and the human body, as well as her inherent resilience against the hardships she faced in life. Honouring the legend herself is ArtScience Museum’s upcoming exhibition, Frida Forever. The show will open on May 4, and run till September 1, 2024. This exhibition is part of the museum’s year-long celebration, ‘Year of Extraordinary Women’. Now, here’s why this exhibition is an absolute must-see – the overarching showing consists of not just one, but three captivating segments: Frida Kahlo: The Life of an Icon, Bare: Frida's Inner World, as well as an immersive VR experience at the end to top it all off. The show will also feature works that have not been shown outside of the United States before. “Frida is one of the most well-known artists of the modern era, but beyond her exceptional body of work, the trials and tribulations of her life projected her into the position of a cultural and feminist icon. Within this season, we are taking an unusual approach to exploring Frida’s story, focusing on the intersection of art and medicine,” says Honor Harger, Vice-President of ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.
