About This Tour

The Biennale Bicycle Tours offered participants a moving journey — both physically across Singapore’s heritage core, and conceptually across layers of intention, identity, and transformation. Cycling became more than transport: it was a metaphor for momentum, continuity, and navigating flux — resonating with SB2025’s exploration of Singapore’s multifaceted identity and the pure, yet sometimes complex intentions that shape urban change.

These tours were held in conjunction with Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention, organised by Singapore Art Museum. Each 3-hour ride wove together heritage storytelling, Biennale exhibition visits, and immersive cultural exploration across Singapore’s civic and heritage districts.

Tour Itinerary

01
Lavender → Fort Canning (Bukit Larangan & Spice Garden)
Riders begin in Lavender, a site symbolic of working-class roots and urban renewal, before ascending Bukit Larangan (Forbidden Hill) — where myth, kingship, and colonial conquest converge. The hill represents Singapore's earliest myths of origin and later colonial intentions of power and order. This aligns with SB2025's questioning of "pure intention" — what does it mean to build a city from myth, trade, or conquest? We then explore the Spice Garden via the escalator. Spices were once the purest drivers of exploration, yet also instruments of exploitation. This tension reflects the Biennale's dialogue between tradition and modernity, desire and domination — connecting to works like Feudal Fields, which interrogates land, labour, and power.
02
Fort Canning Centre (Biennale Exhibitions)
Here, historical narratives meet global contemporary artworks, situating Singapore's story within international conversations about land, migration, ecology, and memory. The juxtaposition of Fort Canning's heritage — from Early Kings to Colonial Era to World War — with Biennale works such as Flowers for Africa and White Noise Zen Fountain reminds us how monuments are both constructed and forgotten. The artworks frame Singapore's urban and historical contradictions alongside global narratives of memory, ecology, and resilience.
03
Return via Waterloo Street (Streets of Harmony)
The ride concludes through a living streetscape of temples, mosques, and churches — embodying coexistence, plurality, and the evolving social fabric of the city. The side-by-side presence of Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, and Christian sites demonstrates how pure intentions of faith and belonging can shape inclusive spaces. This resonates with the Biennale's core objective: to explore the interconnectedness between humans, nature, and the larger ecosystem.

About Singapore Biennale 2025

Singapore Biennale 2025

pure intention — organised by Singapore Art Museum

Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention presents contemporary art in multiple venues and public spaces, inviting audiences of all walks of life to experience Singapore’s many layers built by all of those who have been a part of its history — collectively creating a city that is as planned as it is full of discovery, surprises and interesting juxtapositions.

Through an exploration of art in everyday environments, audiences are engaged to see familiar spaces in Singapore with fresh eyes and new perspectives — paying attention to the rituals, histories, lived experiences and aspirations that have shaped our environments and urban lives.

As part of the SG60 celebrations, the Biennale offered Singaporeans an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s historic milestones and shared aspirations while imagining possible collective futures. The Singapore Biennale was established in 2006 and has been organised by the Singapore Art Museum since 2011.
