The Singapore Biennale will be back for the second time next year, with exhibitions falling under the theme "Wonder".
The first Singapore Biennale held last year attracted over 883,000 visitors who marvelled at the works located at 19 exhibition sites, under the theme "Belief".
And believing that the next Singapore Biennale will be even more successful, the National Arts Council (NAC) has re-appointed Fumio Nanjo, the Director of Tokyo's Mori Art Museum, as its Artistic Director.
Working with Mr Nanjo on Singapore Biennale 2008 are two emerging curators from Singapore and the region, namely independent curator Joselina Cruz, formerly a curator at the Singapore Art Museum and the Lopez Museum in Manila, as well as Matthew Ngui, one of Singapore's leading artists in contemporary art.
"The previous exhibition was a theme of belief.
And we explored the belief of people through art.
But now we have to re-question - is that belief really true, worth believing?" explained Mr Nanjo.
"Constant questioning is another nature of art.
So we bring this type of art and we question what we believe and what we know - is it true? Through many surprises and illusions and miracles of art, we will discover these questions, and through these, we realise what the world is, reality is, where we live in."
To realise this, a major part of the Biennale programming involves engaging the public through talks and workshops.

The Belgian Galerie du Botanique is going to show Olivier Goka's humorous plastic sculptures as photographed by Bernard Babette.
La collection Vonpischmeyer is the baffling title of the exhibition which opens on September 28th and runs until November 11th.
Presenting his witty versions of so-called primitive art, Goka raises the much-discussed and often misused question of the authenticity of art.
He recreates the original shape and form of ritualistic and minimalist African sculptures with a strictly non-natural material: plastic.
