If the last two years were about saying “we are back”, this year’s Hong Kong “art week” has a more exploratory vibe, as a wave of new initiatives brings fresh ways to appreciate art and design.
Here is a list of the bold first-timers creating a buzz on the fringes of Art Basel Hong Kong, the city’s flagship art fair that starts on March 25.
1. Central Yards Edible Art Fair
This is where art is a full-sensory experience. Hong Kong’s first Central Yards Edible Art Fair will occupy a 20,000 sq ft (1,860 square metre) space at Central Harbourfront, where visitors can explore 10 different zones inspired by major art movements – from Impressionism and surrealism to modernism – where treats are paired with displays.
