Singapore
The island city-state is the emerging cultural hub in South East Asia, investing heavily in institutions such as the Singapore Art Museum, the Singapore Biennial, Art Stage Singapore art fair, a dedicated art Freeport facility, and now the Gillman Barracks commercial gallery enclave.
There is a sense that while Singapore cannot compete with the Hong Kong auction scene or its art fair (now run by the world’s leading art fair, ArtBasel), the country is determined to build cultural institutions, partly for regional reputation but also as an example of its growing “soft-power” diplomacy, and along the way becoming the reliable regional marketplace for art, much as Switzerland has become in Europe over the past century, minus only the clocks and Alps.
