Asian Public Art News
Art and similar interventions in public space. Coverage moves outwards from Singapore through Asia to the rest of the world. Like nothing else, the idea of "public art" exposes the contradiction inherent in our ideas of "the public" and of "art".

  Singapore Biennale up and running
The Singapore Biennale launched over the weekend. Mainstream media coverage has been weak so far, but the Flick community has responded well. In particular see Eng Kiat's coverage of Usman Haque's Open Burble, which opened the event.

Also ex-arts administrator chubby Hubby's moblog (using his new Nokia N73), and a great shot of the Sugimoto installation by Ah Bob Lee. See also FlutedGlass's documentation of Jason Wee's 1987.

I've been to the parties, which were fun and very strange, but only one real venue so far, Simryn Gill's event around her artist's book, "Guide to the Murals at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, Singapore".

If you have photos on Flickr, please add them to the Singapore Biennale group, at www.flickr.com/groups/singaporebiennale.
