...] Nokia Art 1999 has three new features. First is the introduction of a theme, City/Community, which addresses issues of people, their identities and their environment, including physical space, city space and natural habitat. The second feature is the development of a new category, that is, a curated section which gives greater emphasis on Singapore’s contemporary art practices and involves artists in the critical interpretation of the them. Oragnisting the exhibition at multiple locations is the third change. This is to serve the objective of outreach, making the exhibitions accessible to the public.[...]

The festival will feature works by some 400 artists in some 26 exhibitions including 7 affiliate projects and 8 fringe exhibitions. The core exhibits are categorised into three sections: the Awardee Section displays works of 34 Singaporean artists who have been conferred the National Day honours, the Cultural Medallion, and the Young Artist Award; the Curated Section will see a selection of cutting- edge and contemporary works by 36 artists, and the Open Section features works by 206 artists.[...]
