BIENNIALS IN AND AROUND SOUTHEAST ASIA

The Biennale has become a mainstay of the contemporary art ecosystem and experience in Southeast Asia, often yoking together a city or nation’s cultural and place-making aspirations with a desire for spectacle and the novel.

A Conversation with Alex and Johnny Turnbull

The spirit of experimentation runs deep in brothers Alex and Johnny Turnbull, ART SG Advisory Group members.

ABOUT OUR 2025 CAMPAIGN

Our campaign for 2025 continues the botanical thread that runs through our previous campaigns and the city more broadly. Familiar elements gathered from local Singaporean markets—marigold garlands, bananas, jackfruit, and long beans—are reimagined, wrapped and suspended to create a singular, writhing sculptural composition that offers a fresh interpretation of the natural world.
