Art lovers from Hong Kong, Asia, and indeed all around the world, are spoilt for choice during Art March – a month packed with art fairs, exhibitions, auctions, festivals and plenty of other exciting events. With so much work on show, there’s a danger of even the most devoted art lover getting fatigued or simply running out of time to see them all. But don’t worry, in the coming weeks we’ll continue to bring you some of the art you might have missed. First, we’re looking at two of th.e biggest events: Art Basel and Art Central. As its name suggests, the exhibition “Claylaboration” involves both clay and collaboration, involving eight artists who work in ceramics working in partnership with artists from other disciplines. “Claylaboration” is on show at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum until April 15th. One of the participating ceramic artists is Yokky Wong, who decided to recreate a working space that brings back many emotional memories for her.
The New York-based gallery Lévy Gorvy is the latest international gallery to set up an outpost in Hong Kong. It opened its new 2,500-square-foot space, its first in Asia, at the end of last month, during the Art Basel week. Also testing here is the Sprüth Magers gallery founded in Cologne in 1983 by Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers. It has produced a series of magazines and a series of exhibitions called, “Eau de Cologne” centered on issues of art, feminism and power. The first “Eau de Cologne” in 1985 featured five female artists. Sprüth Magers brought this project and its first Hong Kong exhibition here during Art Basel week, with a pop-up exhibition at H Queen’s. It ends on April 12th.
