Scenes from the Fair

Uncategorized Add comments

Gosh, weeks have gone by since our last post! May has been a hectic and exciting month for RogueArt. I was away for the first two weeks –in Singapore, Jakarta and then 9 days in Hong Kong to be a part of Asia Art Forum and attend Art HK09, while the second half of the month was spent running around getting ready for our show Personal Effects, which opened on Saturday 30th May. Please check our exhibitions page for our recently uploaded e-catalogue of the show.

To prove that we have been busy, here are some shots from the well reviewed Art HK09 (Hong Kong International Art Fair) held from 14-17 May 2009 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. Despite the slowing down art market, N1H1 flu alerts and precautions, Art HK09 has proven itself as Asia’s ‘to-watch’ art fair. The presence of blue-chip galleries such as Gagosian Gallery, White Cube, Lisson Gallery with their stellar artists clearly states Art HK has the edge to give other Asian art fairs a run for their money, and should to be taken very seriously.

Apart from the “Backroom Conversations” hosted by Asia Art Archive during Art HK09, other major corollary events include SCMP | ART FUTURES, a showcase of emerging artists from around the world sponsored by South China Morning Post. Christine Ay Tjoe’s typewriter installation, “Panoroma Without Distance” was selected by a panel of judges and critics as the winner of this year’s showcase.
