A FOG will descend on Esplanade Bridge and aliens will hang from the roof of City Hall when the Singapore Biennale 2008 begins on Sept 11.
These are among the artworks that will go on show in the two-month long contemporary art show, which started in 2006.
The fog sculpture accompanied by music and lights by Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya and the aliens, made of fibreglass, which are part of Filipino artist Leeroy New's installation are among the highlights at this year's biennale.
Over 70 artworks will be on display at three main venues - the Central Promontory site in the Marina Bay area, City Hall, Marina Boulevard and the South Beach Development along Beach Road.
All in, 66 artists from 36 countries will be showing their work here.
Artistic director Fumio Nanjo (Japan) and co-curators Joselina Cruz from the Philippines and Singaporean Matthew Ngui handpicked each work to inspire wonder, the theme of the show.
