Program

The program of the event is the flow of the performers, speakers, catering and the other element of the event over time. It is the “what on” of the event. The program creates the event experience for the attendance. Ultimately, the event experience for the attendee and the sponsors resets on the success of the program.

Singapore Biennale 2008 commenced on the 11 September 2008 and ends on the 16 November 2008, open from 11 a.m. till 8 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Monday. This year's event is based on a single distinctive concept of WONDER. It is to present art as a flexible subject that will entertain and inform us as we appreciate them. Not only has the event showcased talents, passion and creativity of the artists chosen, but it has aimed to reach out to our young ones and inculcate art into their lives.

The whole event was free and easy and required much of self understanding and self appreciation, as everyone would have a different perspective towards each art piece and perceive them differently. There’s only brief explanation of each location and the event by the staff who welcomed us from the entrance.

One of the missions was to enable this event to be one of its own instead of being a "second" biennale. The manager has hoped that each audience can relate to the art pieces and not just appreciating them as it is. The artists' efforts are also up for exploration.


Singapore Biennale not only catered to the adults but also the young ones, they had a Kids’ Biennale which has art works done by the young children, some are collages while some could be windmills. 8000 primary school children had started to work on their art pieces since this January to make it in time for this exhibit.
