There's a free teamLab show on Keppel Road, but only until 8 November

The words teamLab and free entry rarely share a sentence. They do until 8 November.

Go: it's free, it's small enough for an unhurried hour, and it closes on 8 November. teamLab: Infinite Existence opened on 19 September at Supper House, a fourth-floor art space at 37 Keppel Road, and it is a gentler proposition than the big teamLab museums, with no timed ticket to fight over. The catch is that it doesn't open every day, so check the days in the box before you set off.

Supper House, which describes itself as a Singapore-based art platform, is presenting eight works with Ikkan Art. It is the venue's first teamLab exhibition and the first solo teamLab show in Singapore before the collective's permanent museum arrives at Gardens by the Bay, slated for 2028, so treat it as a preview.

The big idea is what teamLab calls Ultrasubjective Space, borrowed from premodern East Asian scrolls and painted screens: there is no single correct viewpoint, so you wander and the work rearranges itself around you. In practice that means Universe of Water Particles – Gold, a digital waterfall of hundreds of thousands of particles; Continuous Life and Death at the Now of Eternity II, where flowers bloom and wither in real time, synced to the sunrise and sunset at the venue; and a sea where black lines of darkness drift across white.

The Fleeting Flower Series is the part to linger over: a tiger made of chrysanthemums, a peacock of peonies, an elephant of lotuses and a phoenix of sunflowers, each one scattering as the petals fall. The darkest piece is Flower and Corpse Glitch, a 12-panel illustrated story about disease, forest spirits and renewal, which is a long way from a selfie wall.

Keppel Road is easier to reach than it used to be, since the Circle Line's Keppel station opened beneath it in July, along with Cantonment next door. An afternoon visit followed by an early dinner in Tanjong Pagar is a civilised way to see teamLab without paying for it.
