In terms of luxury, Singapore business hotels offer everything for the international professional, making their stay in this city rewarding and rejuvenating. The well-trained staff is prepared to anticipate every need, and the glorious accommodations are designed with the business-savvy guest in mind. Whether the needs are for heavily well-connected communication, or relative anonymity, Singapore will accommodate.
There is much to see in Singapore, from ocean to urban delight, and there is an enormously influential and growing art market and artistic presence here. Enough so to launch the Singapore Biennale, an international exposition of art in Singapore. The next one will be held in 2010, and based on the success of 2006 and 2008, this one will be a formidable challenge to the notion that there is not much going on in Asian art. It’s been an enormously radical decade for Asian art and artists, and there is little sign of it slowing down.
The phenomenon of the Biennale has taken on enormous weight in a place’s ability to presence itself in the international art scene. The Biennale is a way of making local connections to trans-local ideas and marketplaces. It establishes a place as an artistic center in its own rite, with its share of artistic production, and also as a cosmopolitan center, able to maintain and generate contact with artists and galleries all over the world. In Linz, Austria, Europe’s capital of culture for 2009 , at the OK Center, there is an exhibition called Biennale Cuvee, which represents the best of the best in world Biennale’s, and Singapore is represented here, another sign of the vibrancy and translatability of its art scene.
One of Singapore’s more outspoken and visible artist’s, Cheo Chai-Hiang has helped to provoke Singapore into re-thinking itself on an international scale, urging the painters to move from simply painting beautiful pictures toward developing complicated ideas and concepts in the art. These far-reaching ideas are part of a general movement to make deeply complex and local artistic moves that have global implications.
