Italian for Biennial, the Singapore Biennale 2008 is the premier Visual Arts fest here.
On our sunny little island which is evidently coming out from the doldrums of post-industrialized banality and taking not-so baby steps into the Arty-farty world of novel and contemporary interpretation.
This year's theme is Wonder and the exhibition sites are bookended by two fabulous locations, City Hall and the South Beach Development. The latter is a clutch of colonial buildings along Beach Road that once housed an Army Camp.
We spent a lovely 2 hours at City Hall on Saturday, weaving through the old Courtrooms and Judges' Chambers in the midst of roaring F1 cars along St Andrew's Road.
Surreal to say the least.
Can't wait to get to South Beach. And partake of the fledging Arts scene here in our own little way.
