1.3 Profile of Singapore Biennale
Singapore Biennale is an event that takes place once every two years. The main purpose of organising this arts event is to help promote and place Singapore prominently as an international centre and regional head in the visual art field.
The event had its first run during September 2006 and had attracted a significant number of viewers. It was to allow Singapore artists to engage with international artists through the displaying of their visual art works.
Organised by the National Arts Council, Singapore Biennale 2008 aims to create an image of a vibrant city to the world where live, work, and play all takes place together. Featuring art works of 50 international and local artists, visitors are able to fill their senses with the multitude of the works.
The theme “WONDER” intends to bring viewers into the aspects of expression and creation of wonder, riddles, and fantasy in our daily lives.
