As Singapore is considered as a land of art and artists, it is quite obvious that it hosts a number of art exhibitions either half yearly, or annually. Let us check out some of the recent and most appreciated art exhibitions of Singapore:

52th Venice Biennial, 2007 is a National presentation of the collections by artists like Vincet Leow, Jason Lim,Tang Dawu, and Zulkifle Mahmod. The theme revolves round figments, fictions, and fantasies.
It is all about to explore myth, illusion and imagination of the four artists and their concepts of art that reflect their notion of the carnivalesque in Venice. |

Singapore Biennale 2006 was held from 4th September to 12th November in various venues which displayed 130 creations by 92 participants, 320 photographs, 25 videoclips through two parallel exhibitions.
It promoted the theme "belief". The artists are torned between the questions whether there is any value of "belief" in modern uncertain world which is devoid of moral sense and where every act is almost a "mindless act" of "soulless automatas".Singapore being a multi- cultural society oscillates between extremes of values and at this context nothing can be more apt theme for the city other than faith in belief or crisis of values or a hope of revival by some optimist artists.
