Solo Exhibition Arsenale di Venezia, Venice, Italy
Pioneering interdisciplinary artist Amanda Heng and curator Selene Yap are the artistic team representing Singapore at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (Biennale Arte) in 2026. The Biennale Arte is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious global platforms for contemporary art and will run from 9 May to 22 November 2026.
For the Singapore Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, Amanda Heng Liang Ngim transforms the historic Sale d’Armi into a space for rest and observation. A Pause brings together photographs, video and an architectural intervention centred on ordinary actions such as sitting, waiting, and watching. The work is a culmination of Heng’s four-decade practice, drawing on her sustained attention to the body, everyday gestures, and unscripted social encounter. The presentation reflects a shift from the charged immediacy of her early public performances to a quieter, more interior mode of attention.
This marks the 12th presentation of the Singapore Pavilion, commissioned by the National Arts Council (NAC), supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) and organised by SAM.
