Art Stage Singapore
Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
The fair's third edition aims to showcase art in an artistic context by supporting special projects and presentations: Asian galleries are juxtaposed against a limited amount of carefully selected Western top galleries. The 120 exhibitors from 18 countries add unparalleled value to the fair by creating over 50 special projects and presentations.
Art Stage Singapore is strategically positioning Singapore as the driving force behind the Southeast Asian art industry and to be the centre of the Asia Pacific art world. By showcasing some of the best and most interesting Singaporean artists in curated sales exhibitions, the Singapore Platform has become a key show component for every exhibition of the fair. In 2013 it will again provide these home-grown artists and curators with a remarkable opportunity.
Additionally, Art Stage Singapore supports and defends the interests of Asian artists and galleries by elevating them to a level of international importance, by positioning them as strong and competitive players in the global market. Therefore the heart of the fair shall bring forth the best and most exciting of Asia’s artistic creativity, the most important, most interesting and most stunning artists and galleries of the entire continent.
The Asian galleries are juxtaposed against carefully selected Western galleries which complement and not conflict with one another. Art Stage Singapore strives to promote and drive Asia’s art market, giving the region a voice in the art world and a platform to become a competitive player on the global stage.
Showcasing art in an artistic context and lending pieces international exposure and appeal has and shall continue to be the aim of Art Stage Singapore.
A considered selection of over 120 galleries; 75% of exhibitors are from the Asia Pacific region, and the remaining 25% are leading international galleries, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to present art in context, and strategically position Singapore and Southeast Asia as the driving force behind the Asia Pacific art market.
A record number of Singapore-based galleries,18 altogether, will be participating in the 2013 fair (compared to 12 galleries in 2012). Singapore is the largest participant by country, followed by China, Japan, Australia and the UK.
Participation from Australian galleries has doubled in comparison to last year (12 galleries in 2013 compared to 6 galleries in 2012); signaling the importance of Australia as a key Asia Pacific market.
