The Art Fair Guy visited Art Central Hong Kong2024.
Art Central Hong Kong stands out as a vibrant satellite fair coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong, returning this year to its original venue on the Central harbourfront. Within its iconic white marquee, the fair retained its traditional booth format while enhancing the experience with commissioned presentations of Hong Kong art, an extensive video programming, and a wide variety of dining options, alongside its most ambitious program of talks to date.
One of the fair’s highlights includes the “Hardworking Aesthetics“ exhibition by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, reflecting the city’s industrious spirit. Another notable installation is Liv Tsim’s “Energy Bar“ (2024), a unique project where edible energy bars are created through bioleaching, showcasing the intersection of science and art. Alongside, the fair features engaging installations such as OrangeTerry’s school chairs and Olga Au’s soft sculptures, as well as large works like Ho Sin-tung’s “Shadow Boxing,“ exploring the relationship between sports and cultural activities.
Art Central also collaborated with Hong Kong’s Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (Chat) to present “A Sultry World“ by Sunayama Norico, a performance art piece inviting visitors into a serene, intimate space. Furthermore, an interactive ink art installation titled “Mountains Beyond“ (2024) by Yau Wing-fung, commissioned by United Overseas Bank, creatively addresses environmental concerns through art.
The fair’s performance program includes engaging interactions like the “Art-is-Here-Picnic“ (2024) by Artistic Director Enoch Cheng, encouraging conversations about art’s impact, and “Planting Tastes“ (2024) by Scarlet Yu, a multisensory performance exploring the role of food in culture. With 98 galleries participating, 70% of which are from the Asia-Pacific region, Art Central 2024 reaffirms its commitment to showcasing diverse and innovative art, from well-established to emerging galleries and artists, making it a pivotal event in Hong Kong’s cultural calendar.
