Singapore Art Week 2020 showcases a variety of exhibitions and events. The S.E.A. Focus art fair, featuring 20 galleries, serves as an alternative following the cancellation of Art Stage Singapore in 2019. Discussions will include insights from Rirkrit Tiravanija, Dinh Q. Le, and Hans Ulrich Obrist. The theme for the Singapore Biennale is 'Every Step in the Right Direction.' The Asian Film Archive presents 'State of Motion: Rushes of Time,' which runs until February 2, delving into concepts of time. Notable exhibitions include Koh Nguang How's exploration of performance art history, Nguyen Trinh Thi's video addressing the Vietnamese refugee crisis, and 'Strange Things' at 2 Cavan Road. The Substation's 'Stealing Public Space,' featuring 32 works, is open until February 23. On January 15, 2020, ArtReview Asia released a guide to these events.
