Two Vietnamese curators and nine artists will be presenting their works at Singapore Biennale 2013 (SB2013) – an international platform established in 2006 to foster artist presentation and discourse in contemporary art - from 26 October 2013 to 16 February 2014.
Since its birth in 2006 Singapore Biennale has become one of the biggest art playgrounds for South East Asian contemporary artists and art lovers. Together with the Art Stage Singapore, the Singapore Biennale is one of the two most remarkable events in this country purely dedicated to the love of art (and also the business).
The Vietnamese representatives at the event include: curators Tran Luong and Nguyen Nhu Huy and artists Lam Hieu Thuan, Le Brothers, Nguyen Huy An, Nguyen Oanh Phi Phi, Nguyen Thi Hoai Tho, Nguyen Trinh Thi, Tran Tuan, Uu Dam Tran Nguyen and Vu Hong Ninh.
There are also two curators from Vietnam in the curating team for Singapore Biennale 2013 that are Nguyen Nhu Huy and Tran Luong.
Hanoi’s artist and curator Tran Luong, 53, graduated from the Hanoi Fine Arts Institute in 1983. Tran Luong was the founder and Director of the Contemporary Art Centre in Hanoi from 2000-2003. He has also participated in numerous local and international exhibitions. These included Flying Circus Project (Singapore 2000), Imagined Workshop: The 2nd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial (Fukuoka 2002), Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art 2002 at Jump Ship Rat, Busan Biennale (2004) . Tran Luong has participated in a number of workshops including MoMA, East Asian Museum Professionals (New York City & Los Angeles 2001), Visual Art Workshop of Hanoi Artists at MaoKhe (Quang Ninh 2001) and Civitella Ranieri Workshop (Perugia 2001) and has received a number of grants from The Asian Cultural Council, The Ford Foundation and Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts.
A graduate of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Fine Arts, Nguyen Nhu Huy has worked with various mediums from installation art to paintings, photography, video art and public art. He's also is an independent curator, critical writer, and a poet. He has written, translated and published widely on Vietnam Contemporary art, culture, and art theory. Huy often focuses on the ambiguous spaces located in the gap between past and present, public and private, what we see and what we know, what can be spoken about and what can only be shown, etc... His art projects take relational aesthetics as their theoretical and practical departure, always trying to create the platforms where audience and artist, art and everyday life, can encounter each other in many different forms of dialogue.

This year’s Biennale is focused on harnessing the energy of the Southeast Asia region to build a distinctive Asian identity for itself. Through a bold collaborative curatorial model that combines the expertise and specialized knowledge of 27 curators from across Southeast Asia, the total of 82 artists have been identified by the curators, including nine from Vietnam.
