Singapore Biennale: 'Pure Intention'

Singapore Biennale 2025, themed 'pure intention', has continued running through 29 March 2026 across multiple sites on the island, presenting immersive, participatory and site-responsive works that organisers describe as offering a through-line into Singapore's broader artistic spirit. Organised by the Singapore Art Museum, the biennial has become a central anchor of Singapore Art Week each January, with new additions to the programme — including works from Indonesian artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega — folded in as the run extends into the new year. For a city increasingly positioning itself as a regional art-market hub through commercial fairs like ART SG, the biennial offers a counterweight: a non-commercial, institutionally driven exhibition built around ideas rather than sales.
