"OPEN HOUSE" FOR SINGAPORE BIENNALE
The third edition of the Singapore Biennale, Mar. 13-May 15, 2011, has the theme of "Open House," and features over 150 works by 63 artists from 30 countries. The show is organized by artistic director Matthew Ngui with curators Russell Storer and Trevor Smith, and focuses, according to Ngui, on "artistic process" and the way it is embedded in everyday activities, the home and the fabric of the city. Over half of the artists in the show are making or premiering new work.
As usual, the show is spread across several venues: the Singapore Art Museum; the National Museum of Singapore; Old Kallang Airport; and the Marina Bay development. U.S. participants include Goto Design, Charles LaBelle, Tala Madani, Jill Magid, Matt Mullican, Lisi Raskin, Martha Rosler, Tarin Simon and Charlie White.
Other participants from the international exhibition circuit include Candice Breitz, Phil Collins, Martin Creed, Elmgreen & Dragset, Omer Fast, Ceal Floyer, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Tracey Moffatt, Mike Nelson, Navin Rawanchaikul, Beat Streuli, Superflex, Ryan Trecartin and Danh Vo. Singapore artists in the show are Ang Song Ming, Genevieve Chua, Koh Nguang How, Michael Lee Hong Hwee, Charles Lim, John Low, Tan Pin Pin, Ming Wong and Zai Kuning.
