Workshop: The Making of Singapore Pavilion at Venice Biennale with Sophia Loke, Assistant Director, Sector Development, National Arts Council and June Yap, independent curator, and Curator, Singapore Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale 2011 (Singapore)

This workshop will give an insight to Singapore’s participation in the Venice Biennale, and to the process involved in selecting and commissioning the project. The speakers will highlight purpose and opportunity, as well as the challenges inherent in such an undertaking. SEA STATE, the most recent commission for Singapore Pavilion in 2015, took place at the new location, Sale d’Armi situated at the Arsenale. Leased for the next nine editions, it will put Singapore’s artists in closer proximity to the other national presentations.

This workshop is an education and outreach programme of Charles Lim Yi Yong: SEA STATE.
