“As Southeast Asia’s most selective and largest art fair to date, the launch of ART SG will create a defining moment in Asia’s cultural landscape and shine a spotlight on Singapore,” ART SG cofounder Magnus Renfrew said in a statement. “The scale and caliber of our inaugural exhibitor list demonstrates a strong commitment and shared belief in the importance of the art market in the region.”
ART SG has been in the works for several years, after first being announced in 2018. The inaugural edition was supposed to open in November 2019. The fair was part of a plan by the MCH Group, the parent company of Art Basel, to expand its art fair portfolio. But months after its announcement, MCH Group pulled out and the fair was delayed a few weeks to later in November 2019.
However, in June 2019, the fair decided to postpone again, this time to 2020, as exhibitors requested more time to prepare for it. The pandemic then caused the fair to be delayed three more times, to 2021, then 2022, and now to its current dates of 2023. Earlier this year, MCH Group announced that it would reinvest in the fair, acquiring a 15-percent minority stake.
Last week, the Art Assembly, the group that produces ART SG, alongside other major Asia fairs like Taipei Dangdai and the India Art Fair, announced that it would launch a new art fair in Japan called Tokyo Gendai. That fair will launch in July 2023, becoming the third new event of its kind to start in Asia in the next 12 months, after Frieze Seoul opens this September. That edition of Frieze is expected to be a competitor to the region’s biggest fair, Art Basel Hong Kong.
The forthcoming iteration of ART SG will be divided into several sections, including a main Galleries section, Focus for solo- and duo-artist presentations, Futures for galleries operating for fewer than six years, and Reframe for galleries presenting work in digital technologies like AR and VR or NFTs.
“We believe the launch of ART SG will crystallise Singapore’s position as an exceptional cultural venue within the international art landscape,” ART SG’s fair director Shuyin Yang said in a statement. “Through bringing the international art world to a location closer to home, ART SG will not only invite the world’s leading collectors and art leaders to experience Singapore and all that the region has to offer, but also encourage a new generation of emerging collectors to be inspired by the rich diversity of art immediately at our doorstep.”
