Art Basel | Hong Kong 2014 (photoblog)

Events No Comments »

Art Basel in Hong Kong was held last week from 15-18 May 2014 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) with numerous parallel events. We kicked off our art week in Hong Kong on Tuesday (13 May) with a quick visit to Hong Kong Art Centre’s Second Contemporary Collectors exhibition Passion/Possession featuring works from 10 Indonesian collectors curated by Agung Hujatnikajennong and ended our evening with Art Gallery Night (in the Central and Sheung Wan area). After the Art Basel Vernissage it was followed up by a post party event at Absolut Art Bar with Ming Wong’s performance inside Nadim Hassan’s Apocalypse Postponed installation on Wednesday. Thursday night was Wong Chuk Hung Art Night (gallery hopping in the Aberdeen area), and the artists and designers who live and work in Chai Wan opened their doors to the public for Chai Wan Mei Open Studios on Friday and the weekend. While there were many day events at the fair – with talks and workshops organised by Art Basel, but we attended Asia Art Archive Brunch & Talk by Wong Hoy Cheong on ‘Rage, Hope and Love: Working with Communities & Housing’, followed by a visit to Para/Site‘s exhibition ‘Ten Millions Rooms of Yearning. Sex in Hong Kong’, and finally Xu Bing’s ‘It Begins with Metamorphosis‘ exhibition at The Asia Society Museum.
