Post-Museum was an independent cultural and social space in Singapore which aimed to encourage and support a thinking and pro-active community. It was an open platform for examining contemporary life, promoting the arts and connecting people.
A ground-up project initiated by Singaporean curatorial team p-10, Post-Museum aimed to respond to its location and community as well as serve as a hub for local and international cultures.
From September 2007 until August 2011, Post-Museum was located in two 1920s shop-houses in Little India, an exciting and truly historical and multi-cultural area in Singapore. The premises along Rowell Road includeded Food #03 (a deli-bar), Show Room (exhibition cum performance space), Back Room (multi-purpose space), artists' studios and offices. It functioned as a rental venue as well as organised and hosted various events and activities. These included local and international Exhibitions, residency programmes for local and international talents, talks by local and international talents, workshops and classes, community projects, research, publishing, etcetera.
Post-Museum was a social enterprise which obtained additional funding from individuals, private companies and public funds. After its closure in 2011, it changed its name to Outpost, became nomadic, and continued to organise and host various events and activities in different spaces. It welcomed anyone who was interested to contribute, partner or engage with it in any way.
