The Singapore Biennale was established in 2006 as the country’s pre-eminent platform for international dialogue in contemporary art.The fourth edition of the Singapore Biennale (SB2013) will feature works by 82 artists and artist collectives from the region and beyond. Open to the public from 26 October 2013 to 16 February 2014, this instalment of the Biennale will feature a distinct Southeast Asian identity with a curatorial team of 27 combining their expertise and harnessing the energy of the Southeast Asian region to shape the premier contemporary art exhibition.Titled If the World Changed, this year’s Biennale will present contemporary art’s propositions for our changing worlds, looking at how artists and audiences respond to their lived experiences and exploring the type of worlds they want to live in. Joining the artists announced earlier in May are an additional 30 artists from the region whose works resonate with this year’s title.Vernissage24 & 25 October 2013VenuesBras Basah.Bugis PrecinctSingapore Art Museum
