Photodiary: Art Basel 2018

July 8, 2018

art-basel-9

Culture-lovers, get ready for another art-filled post. It’s our first time to get our heads around Art Basel in Hong Kong. Since most of our works at Siamese are art-related, we thought it’s best to explore Basel and be more inspired. Art Basel is an art fair which presents modern and contemporary art to collectors, curators, art enthusiasts, museum directors and of course, the public, making art accessible to everyone.

It’s the biggest art fair I’ve been so far with over a hundred galleries showcasing different artworks and presenting artists from all over the world. So we purchased our tickets online (they have early bird rates) and claimed it at a music store in Hong Kong.

The sponsors on the field and posters on the wall were all on point!

Jeff Koons’ ball series used some of the masterpieces from art history and paired it with a reflective, cobalt blue gazing balls. This activity wherein viewers can see themselves while appreciating the prints/sculptures shows how art history meets pop culture.

The fair was so huge that one day isn’t enough to appreciate all artworks. How I wish we could make this a yearly habit!
