Art Basel has announced that it will team up with Singapore’s regional fair S.E.A Focus for a contemporary art event in Asia from January 15 to 23, 2022.
As part of Singapore Art Week, the upcoming event will be S.E.A Focus’s fourth edition, and it will feature an integrated onsite as well as a digital experience for art buffs. Centred around the theme of chance constellation, the event will explore the histories, the diverse cultural influences and relationships that connect the artistic community in the Southeast Asian region. There will also be a curated collection of contemporary art from some of the finest artists and galleries from across the region, fostering a deeper understanding of the artworks through the exhibition.
S.E.A Focus 2022 has invited Art Basel, the world’s leading fair for modern and contemporary art, to collaborate in this upcoming exhibition for the first time ever. Organised by STPI Creative Workshop & Gallery, Art Basel will advise on communications, programming and offer industry expertise on tackling the emerging market of Southeast Asia. With this, the gallery hopes to cement Singapore as a platform as a leading cultural hub in the region.
The event will be held at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, where you get to explore the on-site experiences and tours of Southeast Asian contemporary art. S.E.A Focus has also developed educational online programmes for visitors, and this includes virtual travels to international galleries, access to industry experts and more.
More details about the event will be revealed soon.
