Singapore Art Week (SAW) 2026 showcases the city-state's multifaceted identity through a diverse range of artistic offerings. Highlights include the second iteration of Wan Hai Hotel, adapted from Shanghai's Rockbund Art Museum, which explores themes of water, migration, and diaspora with artists like Ho Tzu Nyen, Dawn Ng, and Robert Zhao Renhui. The premier art fair Art SG (23-25 January) runs alongside S.E.A. Focus, aiming to boost market access and solidify Singapore as a hub for Southeast Asian art.

From shopping malls to housing estates, Singapore Biennale integrates art into the city’s urban fabric

The eighth edition of the Singapore Biennale, titled "Pure Intention," opens across five neighborhoods in Singapore, embedding over 100 artworks in sites ranging from shopping malls and housing estates to colonial-era buildings and parks. Curated by Selene Yap, Hsu Fang-Tze, Ong Puay Khim, and Duncan Bass, the biennale features works like field-0's "Drifting Bodies" (2025), which critiques Singapore's hydropower imports and their impact on Thailand's indigenous Karen hill tribe, and Allora & Calzadilla's "Under Discussion" (2004), exploring sovereignty and displacement. Organized by the Singapore Art Museum and commissioned by the National Arts Council, the event is part of SG60, Singapore's 60th anniversary celebrations.
