Art Basel Hong Kong 2024

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Bringing together 243 leading galleries from 40 countries and territories, Art Basel Hong Kong’s 2024 edition marks the show’s return to pre-pandemic scale, with 66 additional exhibitors participating in the fair compared to last year. Defined by an extraordinary diversity of artistic voices presented in the frame of its five show sectors, its Conversations and Film programs, as well as its collaborations with the city’s cultural institutions, Art Basel Hong Kong will once again serve as a platform for dialogue, discovery, and transcultural exchange, firmly anchored in Art Basel’s host city in the region.

• Art Basel Hong Kong’s programming will further deepen the show’s strong dialogue with its host city and region, presenting a kaleidoscopic array of projects both at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and beyond
• Encounters, the curated sector dedicated to large-scale projects, will comprise 16 artworks, 11 of which were made especially for the fair; as part of the sector, an off-site installation by celebrated Australian artist Daniel Boyd will be on view at Pacific Place, supported by Swire Properties, Official Partner of off-site Encounters
• Kabinett, the sector featuring thematic presentations within participating galleries’ booths, will comprise 33 projects – the highest number in the fair’s history – with a strong emphasis on historical and contemporary solo presentations from Asia
• Free to the public, the Conversations and Film programs will both take place in a dedicated auditorium at the HKCEC, offering audiences a unique opportunity to participate in thought-provoking discussions and enjoy artist films in one place; furthermore, Conversations will tour to Mainland China prior to the show with off-site events in Shanghai and Guangzhou starting in January
• Co-commissioned by Art Basel and M+ and presented by UBS, a site-specific ‘architectural film’ by artist and filmmaker Yang Fudong will be featured on the M+ Facade from March 22, 2024, creating a captivating artistic experience for visitors and locals alike
