    Art Basel Tram, Hong Kong

    Hong Kong’s Art week is just around the corner – or, as Adeline Ooi, the eloquent director of Art Basel Hong Kong aptly put it, our very own “Christmas in Spring“. At least for art connoisseurs that is. Flamboyant collectors from all over the world fly in and make our city a more sophisticated one. And even if you don’t have the funds to buy that Basquiat painting for your bedroom – this week is an excellent occasion to explore public art that has sprung up like mushrooms all over Hong Kong with the family. Right on the harbour front, in luxury malls, hotels, MTR stations, office towers and the Marine Museum. We love these unusual artsy vibes all around the city. Just prepare yourself for a visual overload – and wear comfy shoes!

    Let’s be honest: Hong Kong’s art scene wouldn’t be what it is now if the Swiss hadn’t taken over the previous fair Art Hong Kong. Under the brand name ‘Art Basel Hong Kong’ it not only became Asia’s biggest and most influential art fair – it’s still growing every year! The sixth edition 2018 will be joined by 248 (!) leading galleries from 32 countries – presenting stunning work ranging from Modern masterpieces of the early 20th century to contemporary installations and concept art. It’s always divided into five sectors: with ‘Galleries’ being the sector where the most established galleries showcase works by the most famous artists. ‘Discoveries’ focuses on shows by emerging artists. ‘Kabinett’ is dedicated to curated exhibitions within gallery booths. ‘Insights’ will present important artists from Asia and the APAC region, while ‘Encounters’ is always the most popular amongst Instagrammers for its extra-large, sculptural installations. Speaking of superlatives: the heaviest sculpture ever shown in Hong Kong will be a piece by Jeff Koons at the David Zwirner booth.

    When:     27-31 March 2017
    Where:    Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai
    Tickets:  Day tickets starting from $250 in advance via HKTicketing or available at the door (starting from $300) – premier pass for three days only in advance: 2280 HKD

    Art Central

    Parkview Hong Kong Desmond Leung
    PARKVIEW ART HONG KONG featuring Desmond Leung

    Two years younger, this satellite fair placed in white tents on the harbour front, is something like the cool little sister of the top dog. It aims to attract a hip, interested crowd – not only experienced art collectors – and thus showcases mostly younger artists. Over 75% of the 102 participating galleries this year hail from the Asia-Pacific region – amongst them some a few influential dealers from Hong Kong, such as Puerta Roja, Whitestone Gallery and Park View Art.

    But Art Central wants to be more than just a large trade fair. The almost one-week-long event encompasses different cultural experiences – daily live performances, talks, workshops – plus an amazing cuisine: Michelin-starred chef Phillipe Orrico will once again headline the gastronomical lineup in his French pop-up bistro Le Marche. And at the open-air pavilion ‘The Terrace’ exhausted art lovers can refuel with innovative creations by Beef & Liberty, Bread & Beast, Limewood, Cô Thành, Chef Tiff’s Kitchen, Fat Legs, L’Ami Cafe and Little Birdy.

    When:     26 March (VIP opening) – 1 April 2017
    Where:    Central Harbourfront
    Tickets:  From $230, Ticketflap

    NEW FOR 2018! Thursday Late @ Art Central

    Art Gallery Night (I) at H Queens

    H Queens Building
    H Queens Building

    The opulent 24-storey building on 80 Queens Road is the coolest new kid on the block! It’s the brainchild of architect William Lim, who is an artist and art collector himself and saw a growing demand for art spaces big enough to host larger installations. So he specifically designed this skyscraper with high ceilings and a crane outside to hoist heavy, bulky artworks – not to forget some interesting restaurants to please the in-crowds later on. While the restaurants are not open yet, most galleries have already celebrated their first vernissages (David Zwirner, Ora Ora, Tang Contemporary Art, Whitestone) with overwhelmingly positive response. Three more inaugurate their new spaces right before Art Basel: Swiss powerhouse Hauser & Wirth launches its first space in Asia with a new solo-show of Mark Bradford, one of the most prominent contemporary artists worldwide. Hong Kong’s grand lady Pearl Lam will open her third art space in the city with technical sculptures by Italian artist Arcangelo Sassolino that push past their physical limitations. And Pace Gallery will inaugurate its second gallery on Queens Road with ceramic sculptures and paintings by Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara.

    Last but not least: David Zwirner, supposedly the most important art dealer in the world, is to present his second show – new work by a fellow German, star photographer Wolfgang Tillmans.

    When:     Art Gallery Night, 26th of March, 6.00 – 8.00 pm
    Where:    H Queens, 80 Queens Road

     

    Art gallery Night (II) @ Pedder Building

    Doug Aitken, Inside Me
    Doug Aitken, Inside me

    Art gallery night wouldn’t be complete without stopping by at the colonial mansion on Pedder Street – which has always been the ‘place to be’ on the evening before Art Basel’s VIP opening. Come and check out what the Blue Chip Galleries at Pedder have come up with to lure the crowds away from H Queens:  Gagosian will present Jennifer Guidi’s soothing mandala-like compositions – six of them are triangular. Simon Lee brings works by multi-disciplinary Jim Shaw, also from Los Angeles, reflecting social issues and pop culture. Massimo de Carlo will present another great Californian, Doug Aitken – known for his monumental billboards and fine video installations. And Lehmann Maupin will host the duo “Osgemeos” (Portuguese for twins), identical twin brothers Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo from Sao Paulo, who will show their dynamic universe – contemporary Brazilian culture mixed with hip hop, street culture and folkloric elements. More info about all participating galleries citywide on: www.hk-aga.org

    When:     Art Gallery Night, 26 March, 6.00 – 8.00 pm.

    Two big international galleries who don’t have showrooms in the city yet, join forces in order to stage new works by their acclaimed artist, American George Condo at the Maritime Museum.

    Harbour Arts Sculpture Park @ Tamar

    Harbour Arts Sculpture Park Installation view of 45 degrees artificial rock by Zhan Wang

    A pumpkin, a horse, spiritual Chinese charms… – 19 completely different colourful sculptures have landed a few weeks ago on the harbour front around Tamar Park. It’s the city’s first international sculpture park, curated by artistic director of the Royal Academy of Arts, Tim Marlow and Fumio Nanjo, director of the Mori Art Museum.

    The result is a collection of notable works by world famous artists like Tracey Emin, Jenny Holzer or Yayoi Kusama – as well as younger locals like Morgan Wong or Matthew Tsang Man Fu. Some works come alive especially in the evenings, for example “Memories from the Tower of Light“ by Wong Chi-yung, located at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. It’s a very interactive event, accompanied by guided tours and a photo competition. Make sure to download the app!

    When:     Until 11 April – FREE!
