Singapore Biennale, a sensational exhibition of art

The Singapore Biennale is a biennial exhibition of contemporary art held in Singapore. The third Singapore Biennale will be held from 13th March to 15th May 2011. A majority of the artists featured will display new artworks or create new commissions. This edition of the extravaganza titled Open House' will be held at four venues which are representative of Singapore's character; the National Museum of Singapore, the Singapore Art Museum, Marina Bay and Old Kallang Airport.

The splendid exhibition is considered to be expressive of Singapore's heritage, a melting pot of diverse ethnicities and cultures. During public festivals in Singapore such as Chinese New Year, Deepavali and Hari Raya, Singapore residents invite others into their homes, eat together and engage in conversation. This is considered to be not only a mark of goodwill and hospitality but also a chance to exchange pleasantries and reflect on their lives and concerns. The boundary between the public and private is blurred relaxing barriers between individuals and groups. Contemporary art is envisaged as a way of bridging these chasms that may exist between members of society due to social, political and psychological differences. This is the philosophy of the Singapore Biennale.

Open House' is intended to explore artistic creative processes and their connections to the everyday relationships which are created between individuals in society. People are constantly involved in such activities as making commercial transactions, having meals together and engaging in conversation as a part of daily life. Singapore has a special significance as one of the world's major ports and a cosmopolitan society built on the impetus of trade, and Open House' intends to express this heritage through artworks which present different creative approaches and perspectives.

The Singapore Biennale is focused on positioning the vibrant city as a major global hub for modern visual arts. It is intended to encourage Singaporean artists and art lovers to form relationships with the global contemporary arts arena. In this endeavour it has been remarkably successful, having consolidated its position as a leading art showcase. Singapore hotel deals such as those offered by Millennium Hotels and Resorts Singapore are an ideal choice for the astute traveller. These fine Singapore hotels offer the comforts and service expected of modern accommodations.
