Aichi Triennale 2025
AICHI, Japan — Singaporean artists Robert Zhao and Priyageetha Dia are two of 62 artists from 22 countries and territories showing at the Aichi Triennale 2025.
One of Japan's leading contemporary art events, the triennale opened at Aichi Arts Center on Sept 12. It will be on till Nov 30.
Zhao's work Seeing Forest is an extension of his work Albizia, which was shown at the Esplanade in 2023. It was also Singapore's entry to the 2024 Venice Biennale.
He said the fast-growing tree Albizia-Falcataria moluccana is often dismissed as an invasive species. "Yet it tells new ecological stories through its persistence in human-shaped landscapes."
Dia's work, LAMENT H.E.A.T. is an upsized version of a piece first commissioned by the Singapore Art Museum in 2023.
