Historic mosques, madrasas and caravanserais across Uzbekistan’s capital will come alive with contemporary art next September as the inaugural edition of the Bukhara Biennial takes over the city. One of the largest contemporary art events in Central Asia, it will bring together art, crafts, food, textiles and music.
The fourth edition of the Bangkok Art Biennale will open on 24 October 2024. This city-wide celebration of art has become a highly anticipated event in the regional art calendar, and ART SG speaks with Dr Apinan Poshyananda, who has helmed all four editions, to take stock of how far the Biennale has come and how it has contributed to the art ecosystem.
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. Today, Biennales offer some of the most dynamic sites to encounter contemporary art and ideas; read on for ART SG’s survey of upcoming Biennales in the region.
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.
