Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore and Manila are all cities popular for their vibrant art scene. As part of its commitment to promote art in the region, Deutsche Bank, through its Art, Culture and Sports division, has kicked off high-profile art engagements in these cities
Deutsche Bank’s sponsorship of the PROJECTS section supports young Japanese gallerists and introduces highlights from their collections to fair visitors in special tours.
Down under in Australia, the 21st Biennale of Sydney officially opened to the art loving public just recently. Deutsche Bank is a major partner of this three month contemporary art festival, which showcases works from 70 artists across six Sydney venues. Around 650,000 visitors are expected from March to June, adding to the four million visitors of past editions and making it Asia-Pacific’s largest international festival of contemporary art. Deutsche Bank has enjoyed a relationship with the Biennale of Sydney for a decade and continues the bank’s strong commitment to the arts in Australia alongside its sponsorship of the Sydney Contemporary (September 13-16, 2018).
In Singapore Deutsche Bank has partnered with OH! Open House to bring art out of museums and into everyday spaces to change the way society experiences art.
Brainchild of local curator Alan Oei and Deutsche Bank's Oliver Bettin, Head of Asset Financing Asia, OH! Open House is a unique art walkabout where close to 120 dedicated volunteers show the secret life of Singapore to participants from all walks of life.
OH! Gives artists in the region opportunities to experiment and give new meanings to everyday spaces. The participants experience and appreciate art while learning more about the history of the neighbourhood. Its eighth edition held this month explores the colonial past of Emerald Hill in Orchard Road, when the area - now an iconic shopping district - was known for nutmeg plantations.
