Hello from Hong Kong! As the first edition of Art Basel in Asia gets underway, we have our pick of the booths, Who’s In, Who’s Out, the essentials you shouldn’t leave your hotel without, a preview of the Encounters projects at the fair and a Don’t Miss list of shows and events. And if that isn’t enough hot air to keep you buoyant, there is a review by Robin Peckham of the Inflation show from Mobile M+. Last but not least, try out Robin's around-town guide to escaping the Art Crowd.

Art Basel Hong Kong 2013

So, the Art Basel behemoth is almost upon us in Hong Kong. This year, 245 exhibitors (slightly down on last year’s 264) will converge on the Exhibition Centre; 50% of them are drawn from the Asia and Asia-Pacific regions, whilst this year sees a new influx of New York galleries...

Inflating an Audience in West Kowloon

There is a certain kind of freedom in exhibition practice that comes along with a purity of purpose; the strongest curatorial work often comes not from those with carte blanche and unlimited budgets to develop projects wild beyond the imagination, but rather from those who are acutely aware of and indeed revel in the restrictions of particular cultural contexts…

Art fairs are less about art than the art of the deal. But Art Basel HK is more than just easily consumable blue-chip work. The Encounters section features not only challenging, but crowd-pleasing large-scale works...

Art Basel Hong Kong 2013: Who’s In and Who’s Out

Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 Essentials

Even for the experienced art fair and biennale-circuit set, Art Basel HK represents a challenge. Hong Kong is a sartorial nightmare – rain, heat, humidity, air con, long days and longer nights with barely a chance for a pit stop combine to thwart expected levels of glamour and sophistication…


Far from the Madding Art Crowds

Where can you go to avoid the art crowd in Hong Kong, particularly when neighborhoods like Central and Wanchai can seem overrun with visiting luminaries during the month of May?

Don't Miss:

Duddell’s Hong Kong – a new venue combining high art and fine dining in Central HK. The inaugural exhibition, “Face to Face,” will include work by Pieter Hugo, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Rodney Graham, Yan Xing, Zhang Enli, George Condo, Juergen Teller and Nan Goldin. (May 23 to Aug 31; Duddell’s: Levels 3-4, Shanghai Tang Mansion, 1 Duddell Street, Central).

Inflation! Mobile M+’s show of blow-up sculptures in West Kowloon continues to excite. (Apr 24 – Jun 9; West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui).

“A Journal of the Plague Year” – curated by Cosmin Costinas and Ini Guerrero and subtitled “Fear, ghosts, rebels. SARS, Leslie and the Hong Kong story”, this promises an engaging look at recent narratives and history in Hong Kong through the lens of different artists’ work, amongst them Ai Weiwei, Bernd Behr, Natalia Sui-hung Chan, Oscar Chan Yik Long, Yin-Ju Chen, George Chinnery and Megan Cope. (May 17 –20 Jul 20; Para Site: G/F, 4 Po Yan Street, Sheung Wan).

Debate: “The Market is the Best Judge of Art’s Quality” – from Intelligence Squared, a timely argument on the market + / - artistic value. (May 24, 6.30pm; Art Basel, room N101, HKCEC, Wan Chai).

“I Think it Rains” – the first collaboration between the Burger Collection and 1a Space, this project incorporates an exhibition and performance, plus other related events, and is refreshingly off the beaten track. (May 17 – Jun 30; Cattle Depot Artist Village, 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon).

Wun Dun Art Bar – for which local artist Adrian Wong will be creating a pop-up-bar-cum-art- installation for Absolut Vodka (free drinks for VIPs!). (May 22 -25; the Fringe Club, 2 Lower Albert Street, Central).

Frank Auerbach and Not Vital – a dual exhibition which should make for a striking combination (May 22 – Aug 10; Ben Brown Fine Arts, 301 Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central).

“Fabien M¨¦relle: Elles et Moi” – a keenly-anticipated first solo show in Hong Kong by the young French artist (May 21 – Jul 6; Edouard Malingue Gallery, 1/F, 8 Queen’s Road, Central).

“Light Before Dawn: Unofficial Chinese Art 1974 – 1985” – a rare chance to see work by unofficial artists who helped lay the foundations for what we now call contemporary Chinese art. Not to be missed.
