Australian contemporary artist Cj Hendry is presenting her Flower Market installation in Singapore for the first time in Southeast Asia from June 10 to 14, 2026 [1, 2]. The immersive exhibit features tens of thousands of plush flowers arranged in buckets, recreating over 30 real flower varieties, including eight exclusive to this edition in Singapore [1, 2].

Showcased at the IMBA Theatre’s gallery space in Gardens by the Bay, the plush flowers include notable Singapore exclusives such as the Raffles’ Pitcher Plant, Singapore Lipstick flower, and the Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim, the national flower of Singapore [1, 2]. Known for transforming everyday objects into large-scale artistic spectacles, Hendry explores themes of consumer culture, nostalgia, materiality, and perception through her work [1, 2].

Launched in New York in September 2024, Flower Market has toured cities including Abu Dhabi, Sydney, and Hong Kong before arriving in Singapore [1, 2]. Admission to the Singapore exhibition is free, though pre-registration slots are fully booked. Walk-ins are allowed daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with last entry at 8 p.m., subject to venue capacity [1, 2]. Each visitor receives a complimentary plush flower, with extra stems available for purchase at $7 each without limit [1, 2]. Additional merch like tote bags, caps, and T-shirts designed by Hendry are also on sale inside the gallery [1, 2].

Events planner Chong Pei En, 26, who has followed Hendry’s work online since 2014, said, "Flowers are so ordinary and familiar to us, but then she makes it so special by making it so childlike and playful," describing the installation’s nostalgic appeal [1].

Hendry is also hosting a second show, Juju World, an inflatable experience centered on her collectible toy series "juju," running at IMBA Theatre from June 20 to July 18 [1, 2]. The fluffy bunny-like doll, featuring a flower over its left eye, appears in a new yellow color exclusive to Singapore. Large 12-inch jujus crafted for Singapore will not be available elsewhere after the ticketed event [1, 2].

In a press release, Hendry said she was excited to present her works in Southeast Asia with IMBA and noted the shows "represent our shared emotion and universal experiences, from curiosity to adolescence and nostalgia" [1].
