Over half of the artists are creating new commissions or premiering new works. ‘Open House†™ is presented across four exhibition venues, each with their own part icular character, that draw upon emblematic spaces in Singapore: Housi ng Development Board flats (Singapore Art Museum and 8Q), shopping cen tres and night markets (National Museum of Singapore), and internation al air and sea ports (Old Kallang Airport). Major art works at Marina Bay will amplify individual experience in the city.In Singapore, at Ha ri Raya, Deepavali and Chinese New Year, people open their homes to ot hers, inviting them to visit, eat and talk. This is not only a gesture of hospitality and good will but also an opportunity to reflect, nego tiate and exchange. The threshold between the private and the public i s made permeable, if only for a moment, relaxing boundaries between in dividuals and barriers between groups.Contemporary art often emerges o ut of a need to communicate across such thresholds of difference that may be experiential, psychological, or grounded in social and politica l hierarchies. As such, artists’ practices are not simply about some thing in the world, they are real attempts to exchange information, tr anslate experiences and even trade places. Borders may be guarded with force, yet artists find ways to embed themselves within such systems of control, turning unspoken desires toward unexpected ends. Sometimes artists displace or exchange objects, materials and information from one context to another, revealing unexpected connections between cultu rally divergent situations. The labour of constructing or deconstructi ng common objects and materials highlight the creative potential in se emingly mundane situations, suggesting fresh ways of seeing the world. ‘Open House’ examines these artistic processes and their links to the daily transactions that take place between people. From trading ob jects to swapping stories, from sharing food to dressing up, we are co nstantly making exchanges, as individuals, groups, cities and nations. In the world’s busiest port, a multicultural city built on trade, â €˜Open House’ brings together artworks that offer multiple perspecti ves and myriad creative approaches to questions of how we move across borders, see other points of view, and form connections with others.Da te: March 13 – May 15, 2011 at SingaporeLocation: Singapore Biennale 201161 Stamford Rd. #02-02, Stamford Court, Singapore 178892Tel: +65 6332 3222Fax: +65 6334 7919more information: http://www.singaporebienn ale.org/\n\nFor more information visit http://www.portfolios.net/event s/singapore-biennale-2011 DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Bangkok:20110403T000000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Bangkok:20110515T235900 CATEGORIES:art, exhibition LOCATION:Singapore Biennale 2011 WEBSITE:http://www.singaporebiennale.org URL:http://www.singaporebiennale.org CONTACT:+65 6332 3222 ORGANIZER: ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/3022714470?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="NEWS POR TFOLIOS*NET":http://www.portfolios.net/profile/AdminNews END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
