Art Central Hong Kong 2017

Art Central took place in Hong Kong 21-25 March 2017, at Central Harborfront (next to the observation wheel).

Loads to see, especially from Japanese, Korean and Chinese artists. A handful of pieces have been shown in Singapore before. A smattering of Singapore galleries were there too.

Don't want to cause lags in the loading of this page, so I'm showing only a few pieces that caught my eye. I didn't get the names of all the pieces and the artists though - the crowds made it difficult to photograph the details.

Worth going? Yes. If you go to Hong Kong during this time, go for all the art fairs if you can, so you can see the diversity of what's going on. You won't be able to help comparing this with Art Basel, but they're two different experiences I say. Hong Kong weather is cool in March  - low to mid twenties (celcius), so you only need a long-sleeved top in the day time, with a sweater or cardigan for the evenings when you go outdoors (which won't be for very long).

at a closer look, this piece is made of dollar notes

look closer - the "heads" of the "matchsticks" are faces
