missqi SG The Singapore Biennale 2006 (SB2006), Singapore's inaugural international biennale of contemporary art, will open to the public on 4 September 2006. This major international contemporary art exhibition will feature more 95 artists and artists collectives from over 38 countries and regions including Singapore. SB2006 highlights Singapore's prominence as an international visual arts hub, not only providing new opportunities for Singapore artists, curators and arts businesses, but also as a key enabler of exchange and collaborations for the global arts community. The presence of SB2006 is also a significant opportunity for the Singaporean public to develop a stronger relationship with contemporary art. As the anchor cultural event for Singapore 2006: Global City. World of Opportunities, SB2006 provides the platform for the presentation of international art in dialogue with Singapore and Asia. Singapore 2006 is the umbrella event where Singapore will play host to the Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group. More about SB2006 here. The many venues here. Who's going?
[email protected] SG just like the smile for singapore campaign and the road re-surfacing and tree planting. one big wayang i hope the arty attitude is here to last. last year singaporeans suddenly so anti-arts and anti-culture, what with the violin kid case and melvin tan case. do until so ugly, i also no face tell people im singaporean. skelly they think im also a primitive uncultured barbarian like most of the rest of them.
LazerLordz SG realism at its worst. but I am keen to see what they are exhibiting at Dempsey Barracks.
missqi SG I am impervious to your words and will still go to the exhibition and try to feel arty, even though it is in, Singapore.
0lala SG WOW trying to be a VA hub and a conventional centre! and working towards a centre for advance medical science and manufacturing estate? can tahan not
dakkon_blackblade SG I don’t really like the modern (or post-modern, for some) visual arts. I much prefer the Old Masters.
MrFugue SG Seems like it's good for Singaporeans as well,just like the rest of what happens to Singapore as a result of the IMF meeting.Roads re-painted ,Changi Airport looking slightly better,Shopping centers around the city gets a good facelift.
dahliamorie SG Guess I'm going. Omg, Yayoi Kusama(the artist I'm featuring for my O lvls coursework)'s artworks are coming to Singapore! Must go down to Padang and Sri Krishnan Temple to take photos of her works.
<Precious> SG Somebody pls tell me what the hell's that event actually for? Seems like an utter waste of public funds organizing the levitation of city hall, blah, blah + blah............
