The much-anticipated Singapore Biennale will take place from October 31, 2025, to March 29, 2026. This year’s event will showcase over 100 artworks and experiences at five engaging venues: The Civic District, Wessex Estate, Tanglin Halt, Orchard Road, and the Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark.

The theme for 2025 is “Pure Intention,” marking the eighth edition of this vibrant cultural event.

Here’s a glance at some of the standout artworks and installations you can expect to experience.

WITH HATE FROM HONG KONG

Adrian Wong’s “With Hate From Hong Kong” transports viewers into a reimagined Hong Kong film set within a shophouse unit. This installation includes remnants from shattered film sets, reflecting on cultural heritage.

Inspired by the life of his grandfather—a composer for over 300 films—Wong probes into the essence of cultural lineage and the nostalgia tied to Hong Kong’s golden cinematic era.

Location: Tanglin Halt

SEAWEED STORY

South Korean visual research collective Ikkibawikrrr presents “Seaweed Story,” a poignant video installation celebrating the women divers of Jeju Island. This piece highlights the community’s traditions through seaweed sculptures made alongside local harvesters.

Location: Blenheim Court

HNZF IV

Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork’s installation, “HNZF IV,” introduces sonic sculptures crafted from aerospace scrap sourced from WWII military aircraft. It employs advanced technology like computer-controlled pumps and hydrophones.

This installation reflects Gork’s deep research into sound technology’s military background and the limestone caves of Okinawa, resonating with the amplified sound of water through Fort Gate, evoking parallels between Okinawa and Singapore’s wartime experiences.
