Double the art
Gallery Exit will show new works by Stephen Wong Chun-hei, who invites gallery-goers to contemplate the complex relationship between humans, nature and virtual reality; Simon Lee Gallery will exhibit works from Jim Shaw's Man Machine series, which stems from the artist's interest in hair as a source of power; and Axel Vervoordt Gallery brings the circular-shaped patterns of renowned female Japanese artist Yuko Nasaka, one of the most prominent voices of Gutai's second generation.
"Our collaboration with Fine Art Asia will be a wonderful opportunity for the Hong Kong cultural community to come together and celebrate the creative spirit of the city," says Adeline Ooi, Art Basel's director for Asia. "Art Basel is dedicated to supporting the region, and we are therefore delighted that we are able to provide a physical platform for galleries and their artists in what has been a challenging year."
