Singapore Pavilion and the National Collection at the Biennale Arte 2024

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Opening to the public on 20 April 2024, the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (Biennale Arte) returns this week in Venice with a strong showing of Singapore offerings. This year, Singapore Art Museum presents Seeing Forest at the Pavilion of Singapore, while National Gallery Singapore is contributing artworks (from our national collection) to the Nucleo Storico section of the Central Pavilion, a first in our nation’s history.


Seeing Forest at the Pavilion of Singapore

The 11th edition of the Pavilion of Singapore at the Biennale Arte features Seeing Forest by artist Robert Zhao Renhui, in collaboration with curator Haeju Kim. Commissioned by the National Arts Council, supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and organised by the Singapore Art Museum, the exhibition invites visitors to step into a mysterious, forested zone that exists both in the imagination and in Singapore to uncover the complex web of human and non-human co-existence. The exhibition features a two-channel video installation, a sculptural video installation, and a photographic work, and is complemented by an imaginary forest map in Singapore.

Singapore’s National Collection in Venice

For the first time in the country’s history, Singapore is also represented in the Main Exhibition of the 60th International Art Exhibition, entitled Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa. Eight artworks from National Gallery Singapore’s collection will be featured in the Nucleo Storico, in a sub-section entitled “Portraits”. The artworks range from self-portraits to representations of working class and indigenous persons, including Jeune fille en blanc (Young Girl in White) (1931) by Lê Phổ (Vietnam/France), Self Portrait (c. 1946) by Georgette Chen (China/Singapore), Labourer (Lunch Break) (1965) by Lai Foong Moi (Malaysia/Singapore) and more.

Mastering the Games: Tips and Tricks for Instant Wins at 1xBet Casino

1xBet is a reputable betting platform that has been in the industry for about a decade. With their wealth of experience, they have assembled the best casino games to keep punters engaged. These pastimes include slots, table games, and lottery shows. To benefit from these games, you need to know a few helpful tips. Read on!

Learn about the different betting strategies

Different casino games have various strategies that can increase your chances of winning. In Blackjack, the rules of engagement, the dealer’s card, and the number of decks of cards usually determine the optimal technique.

Some experienced punters have created Blackjack strategy charts for newbies. For example, when the dealer’s up card is Ace, 9, or 10, you have to hit an Ace-7. For an online slot, you should get yourself familiar with the mechanics of the game by practicing in demo mode. Find out the volatility level and Return-To-Player (RTP) for the game.

A game with an RTP of 96% and above is good. In low-volatility games, you can win small payouts regularly. In high-volatility games, you will get large payouts less frequently. In slot games, you also need to take advantage of the free spins and 1xBet casino bonus packages. Take note of the terms and conditions that apply.

Understand how odds work

The fact might come as a surprise. But some people don't understand how betting odds work. If you belong to this category of people, this is the time to learn. The three types of odds are moneyline (American) odds, European (decimal) odds, and British (fractional) odds.

Decimal odds display the profit that a punter will win for every $1 bet. If the odds are 4.00 if a particular team wins, you will win $4 for every $1 wagered. Fractional odds depict the ratio of the potential profit to a punter's stake. An example is 8/1 (eight-to-one).

It means that a punter will receive $8 for every $1 wagered. Money line odds are usually associated with a sign. Underdogs have a positive (+) sign in front of their odds while favorites usually have a negative sign (-) accompanying their odds. These are the basic principles of how odds work. Keep in mind that there is more to learn.

Don’t go beyond your allocated budget

Use your bankroll wisely when gambling. Also, don’t lay all your money on the table, because you will need money to be used for other reasons. Then, define a particular weekly sustainable limit to gambling.

On the day that you’re on the winning edge, try to cling to it. Never try to get back the money you lost yesterday while betting. 1xBet aims at keeping its clients within reasonable limits.

This platform is the perfect source of help for those who may be experiencing the problems associated with pathological gambling. Self-preclusion is a prominent measure that can be applied in order to enjoy a few weeks break. They also have some recommendations such as:

● Avoid betting while drinking alcohol.

● Don’t use gambling as your main way of making money.

● Place the necessary boundaries on your betting sessions.

Take advantage of bonuses and promotions

1xBet has a lot of promos and financial incentives that cut across every type of game on its platform.

One such package is the welcome package. This bonus is available for anyone who signs up. When you become a regular punter, you will be able to benefit from the cashback program, first deposit bonus, promo codes, and loyalty program.

A classic bonus from 1xBet is the birthday bonus that rewards you with a special promo code that can serve as a free bet. Another offer is the goalless football promo in which you win a prize when the first half of a game ends 0-0. These offers will boost your earnings. Ensure that you read the terms and conditions associated with the bonuses.

Join a community of professional punters

Get in contact with more experienced bettors. They have gone ahead of you and made a series of mistakes. By taking advice from them, you can avoid falling into the same pitfalls. Check video streaming platforms such as Twitch and YouTube to find screen recordings of how to find your way on 1xBet.

Also, look for blogs and podcasts from more experienced players. You can also search for online communities for punters on platforms such as Telegram and Discord. That way, you will receive the latest updates and learn new betting strategies.

Final thoughts

All the tips above will go a long way to help you. Learn the types of bets and the necessary strategies.

Keep yourself up to date with the new games, bonuses, and promotions. Remember that gambling is simply a pastime. It’s not a means of livelihood or a serious source of income. The important thing is to have fun.
