Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI) presents a solo exhibition 'Portrait of a blind artist obscured by flowers' by UK artist Ryan Gander (7 Mar - 11 Apr).  Composed around visual puzzles and unusually assembled objects, Gander's works are catalysts for thinking, constantly challenging accustomed conditions and viewer perceptions.
