SINGAPORE: Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth, Mr Sam Tan, will launch the Singapore Pavilion at the Venice Biennale during his visit to Venice from May 5 to 9.
The Venice Biennale marks Singapore’s seventh participation at one of the most established and important international platforms for contemporary art, said the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) in a media release on Monday (May 4).
Singapore’s return to the Venice Biennale also coincides with its 50th year of independence as a nation-state.
MCCY added that this is part of the Government’s commitment to creating opportunities for Singapore artists to tap into global platforms, reach out to new international audiences, and pursue artistic excellence.
Mr Tan will be accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, the National Arts Council and the National Gallery of Singapore, said MCCY.
