When: 13 September from 2pm to 6pm
Where: A+ Works of Art, Sentul

Round off your long weekend with a little cultural stop at the latest exhibition from A+ Works of Art. ‘An Aging Double’ is a group exhibition curated by Gary-Ross Pastrana, featuring works from Jan Balquin, Lesley-Anne Cao, Jed Gregorio, Lou Lim, Miguel Lorenzo Uy, and Issay Rodriguez. Inspired by Jean Baudrillard’s reflection that “an aging double ends up being confused with the real thing”, the show’s drawings, paintings, sound, video, and site-specific installations reflect our shared impulse to map, trace, copy, mirror and reenact. The exhibition’s Opening Reception is set for this Saturday, and you can catch a walkthrough of the show at 3pm.
The exhibition is open from 13 September to 4 October. Follow A+ Works of Art on Instagram for more information.
