SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2008!
SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2008!
Decorations for Singapore Biennale 2006The Singapore Biennale is an international contemporary mega visual arts exhibition showcasing contemporary art by renowned visual artists from around the globe. The artists come from Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, to Southeast Asia and Singapore. Each piece of work reveals different perspectives and angles in which we see our world. The work done, is not abstract and not beyond the average person's comprehension. Even those who cannot appreciate art (speaking from experience, haha ) will find that this event will teach us to appreciate it.
This art exhibition is spread out between South Beach Development and City Hall, previously known as the Municipal Building. Tourists can be amazed at the exhibits and at the same time visit this historic location before it is converted into an art museum in 2012. The Singapore Flyer, is another tourist hotspot, and it also has an exhibit on board. If the flyer is part of your itinerary, you should definitely consider adding this exhibition to your itinerary too.
The theme of this year's event is WONDER. Of course, tourists will wonder why it is so hot in Singapore..... so bring a bottle of water to quench your thirst! =) Dress casually especially if you are visiting in the afternoon where the sweltering hot sun can be quite unbearable.
The exhibition costs $5 for students and $10 for adults. It takes about a full day to cover both South Beach, City Hall and the Singapore Flyer, excluding the rest of the exhibits. The exhibition closes on 16 November so be sure to add the Singapore Biennale to your itinerary if you are traveling to Singapore during this period!
