Art Stage Singapore Still Trying to Define Region

January 10, 2017 by Marion Maneker

As Art Stage Singapore is set to open, Lorenzo Rudolph has some stark words for the city-state’s culture industry where art sales are off 25-40%:

“Everybody is asking: Where is Singapore going? We all know Gillman Barracks has problems, we all know galleries are trying to survive and some have left. We all know also that institutions are not in the best position.” […]

“The art scene, artists, galleries, all the institutions, are not internationally strong enough to compete with big markets like China, India and the West … It is logical that we have to position Singapore as a central part of the entire South-east Asia. If you want a successful future, we have to sell South-east Asia as a whole and not national, small markets. And Singapore, as the smallest place, is even more obliged to play this game.”

Market recovery still uncertain, Arts (THE BUSINESS TIMES)
