Singapore Biennale 2006

We are having our OWN Biennale here in Singapore. Way hay!!

There is almost S$6 mil dollars and Fumio Nanjo. Its like art-singapore
getting a shot of a performance booster..Its like turbocharging the art
scene here...Or is it like serving up a feast of art to a starved
population? Or perhaps Singapore getting a 5-star treatment when it was
only expecting two? I am having difficulty with this ..

I am fortunate to be here during these exciting times. Truly. Its is
first of its kind in this region. It is going to kick ass.

I would love to be part of it. Alas I am trying to jump before I can
walk. But I can dream..

I keep trying to decipher the 'call for artists' below..

What is that the curators will be looking for? What sort of work will be
admitted into this biennale? How can I prepare for the application? What
should I put in my portfolio? Any ideas anyone?? Please...
