Was googling about the Wire and found this blog covering about the Singapore Biennale by someone called Swee Tng on a university of sydney website.
http://blogs.usyd.edu.au/bizart/stng4471.html - thought that it might offer an interesting read.
Also in one blog entry, Swee Tng aggregated the other links as well.
so check it out if you are interested.

Voyeurages
By Cat Hope
72-13 (
Free (call 6737-7213 to reserve a seat)
Cat Hope is an accomplished sound artist, performer, composer, songwriter and noise artist whose practice is increasingly an interdisciplinary one that crosses over into video, performance and installation. This is a work that speaks about contemporary concepts of journey and visitation. Exploring these concepts and juxtaposing them with the visual impact of viewing the images on the naked backs of participants, this work delves into the confrontational effects that come with the unique experience of exploring new spaces on a provocative plane – the naked human torso.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Regards,
Jennifer.

p-10 picks (3 - 9 Dec)
Dear friend,
Here it is again -- our not-to-be-missed picks for this week:
1. Opening: Wed (6 Dec), 7.30pm
re-ACTION
By Angkatan Pelukis Aneka Daya (APAD)
The Substation Gallery (45 Armenian St)

Nine young artists like Harman Bin Hussin, Dino Hafian Bin Ahmad and Rudy Djoharnaen present their responses and reactions to the theme of entrapment, or Sangkar (meaning 'cage' in Malay). re-ACTION is a revival of the popular ACTION series in the early nineties with young artists presenting new works. The exhibition continues till 11 Dec.
2. Opening: Thu (7 Dec), 7.00pm
Helen Keller Played the Piano
By Akiko Koga
BooksActually (125A Telok Ayer St)
Free
Japanese photographer Akiko Koga showcases her recent works. Photography is the one thing that makes her really happy and she just loves to keep snapping pictures of stuff that tickles her. She creates a lot of her art from everyday subjects and paints a picture of a world she 'chooses' to see. Her photographs are bittersweet, nostalgic, quirky and a little dorky. This is her 3rd solo exhibition. The exhibition continues till 21 Dec.
3. Now – 31 Jan 07
Interrogating Time, Hidden Histories
National Museum of Singapore (93 Stamford Rd)
Free
This project consists of three new artworks commissioned for the opening festival. The artists were invited to explore the process of conceptualising history through visual means and to respond to the physical environment and architecture of the new museum. The artworks are Singa Merlionus (David Chan), Contours of a Rich Manoeuvre 2006 (Suzann Victor) and Waking the Fluorescent Lion (Brian Gothong Tan). While you are there, do also take a look at the five permanent public artworks, especially Matthew Ngui’s The Building Remembers.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Regards,
Jennifer.
