Synopsis

TAILORED: Bore & Stroke examines the exciting world of automotive custom and DIY culture in Singapore, exploring its influence in art, urban culture, design, fashion and lifestyle.

This exhibition demonstrates how the spirit of customisation in the automotive world has permeated contemporary creative practices, reflecting a deep-seated desire for personal expression and identity transformation. By investigating three main areas – urban art, design and fashion – this exhibition unravels the complex psychological and cultural dimensions that drive the customisation phenomenon in Singapore today.
