Singapore-based creative platform GOFY, recognised for spotlighting Southeast Asia’s vibrant urban art scene, is excited to unveil Melting Thresholds—the latest chapter in their GOFY& series, which showcases the diverse talents of Southeast Asian artists through partnerships with lifestyle brands.
This whimsical showcase brings together the works of four rising visual artists from the region: Shu and Money Wang from Malaysia, Nina Sach from Thailand, and Jaeyyelle from Singapore. Presented in collaboration with Sweet Cheeks, a much-loved gelato brand celebrated for its inventive flavour combinations, the exhibition offers an unexpected blend of art and indulgence.
Melting Thresholds delves into the liminal spaces between the real and the surreal. Through a tapestry of hidden faces, blurred recollections, and intimate reflections on identity, the exhibition contemplates the transformative nature of dreams and the thresholds we navigate in daily life. The works invite viewers to challenge their perceptions and embrace the in between as a site of imagination, introspection, and possibility.
Highlights of Melting Thresholds include:
● Art Showcase
Discover artworks by Shu, Nina Sach, Money Wang, and Jaeyyelle, each offering a dreamlike interpretation of memory, identity, and the unknown. Affordable artwork prints and Edition 1 of 1 original works will be available for purchase in-store at Sweet Cheeks and online at GOFY’s website at a price range of SGD$50 to SGD$1,000.
● Exclusive Collaboration Gelato Flavours & Curated Craft Beer Collection Two limited-edition gelato flavours inspired by the exhibition’s artwork and themes will launch on-site at Sweet Cheeks—blending imagination, nostalgia, and unexpected notes into every scoop. Blurred Lines combines earthy black sesame with velvety ube in a swirl of nutty depth and mellow sweetness, blurring the boundaries between bold and soft, familiar and new. Hazy Daze brings together toasty houjicha and creamy banana in a slow, hypnotic melt, like golden hour in dessert form. Sweet Cheeks has also curated a lineup of craft beers—from tropical fruit sours to bold, rich stouts—each reflecting the artists’ distinct styles, available for a limited time only.
● Limited Edition Merchandise
A series of collectible keychains in four unique styles, each featuring new artwork by one of the exhibiting artists, will be available for purchase exclusively at Sweet Cheeks and online via GOFY’s website.
Expanding the exhibition’s reach beyond the visual, GOFY has partnered with local home and lifestyle brand Objects of Comfort (OOC) and non-profit candle brand Riau Candle Co. to explore how art and rest intersect:
● Just as Melting Thresholds invites viewers to reflect on the space between waking and dreaming, OOC embraces sleep as a space where creativity stirs and ideas quietly take shape. Select pillowcases by OOC will be available for purchase at Sweet Cheeks (Lavender) for a limited time only.
● Throughout the exhibition period, Riau Candle Co.’s Daydream candle, infused with notes of sage, orange peel, thistle, and moss, will gently scent the space, adding a sensory dimension that echoes the exhibition’s themes of reverie and transformation.
An exhibition launch party will be held on Saturday 17 May 2025 at Sweet Cheeks (Lavender) from 2–8pm. Visitors can look forward to a day of creativity and connection, beginning with a hands-on DIY Mirror Workshop that invites guests to reflect on the exhibition’s themes. As the sun sets, the space will shift into a mellow groove with a DJ set.
Event is free to the public (excluding ticketed workshop). Find out more here.
