HONG KONG | art basel 2015

This year's Art Basel was moved up from May to March. To be honest, with art week being pushed up so early it felt like it came out of nowhere. There was hardly any hype and barely any advertisement so it was hard to feel excited at all. Or maybe it is because it coincided with finals week of school so snagging tickets to the biggest art event of the year was the least of my worries!

But finals are over now and I finally had a chance to check out the exhibitions this afternoon. I really loved some of the stuff I've seen. I think this year beats { last year's } for sure.

PS. Heading out to Thailand this thursday for R&R. Stay tuned for some travel posts. God, I've missed those!

HONG KONG | art basel 2014

This year Hong Kong proudly hosted it's second Art Basel show in the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre. Art Basel is arguably the biggest art related event in Asia/South East Asia, presenting artwork from over 170 galleries across the globe and featuring over 3000 artists. I don't think I've ever witnessed an event of that scale before and I was completely overwhelmed from the whole thing, to say the least. I came with some friends but with so many sectors to explore, and with everybody viewing the art at their own pace we eventually lost each other in the crowd..twice. No matter though - I had a lot of fun exploring the place on my own and I managed to take some photos of some of my favourite pieces from the show.
