Kabinett at Art Basel in Hong Kong
Following its debut in Asia last year, Art Basel’s Kabinett sector will return to the Hong Kong show featuring 30 concisely curated projects. Hosted within the Galleries sector booths, projects this year will encompass strong conceptual solo presentations by both established and emerging artists, including: artist duo Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, Chant Avedissian, Teresita Fernández, Katsura Funakoshi, Apostolos Georgiou, Federico Herrero, Hon Chi Fun, Kim Kulim, Kim Yong-Ik, Jeff Koons, Frog King (Kwok Mang-ho), Wifredo Lam, Liang Shuo, Fausto Melotti, Mihai Olos, Yoko Ono, Gabriel Orozco, Peng Wei, Mark Ryden, Andres Serrano, Song Dong, Rebekka Steiger, Mircea Suciu, Kishio Suga, Frank Walter, Tom Wesselmann, Harumi Yamaguchi, Yang Jiechang, Yu Cheng-Ta and Yu Hong.
Kabinett will showcase a diverse range of media this year, including painting, calligraphy, photography, performance, sculpture and virtual reality art. The 2018 edition of Kabinett in Hong Kong will see a particularly strong selection of presentations by artists from across Asia—from important Modern works to entirely new pieces making their debut at the show.
Important artists from Hong Kong will be highlighted in Kabinett this year, such as Hon Chi Fun, one of Hong Kong's most established artists. The presentation will be featured at Ben Brown Fine Arts and will explore an essential period in Hon’s practice that marked a drastic change in his painting vocabulary when he began to synthesize Eastern philosophies and Western visual language. 10 Chancery Lane Gallery will restage Frog King Calligraphy Shop, an iconic work by Hong Kong conceptual and performance artist Frog King (Kwok Mang-ho).
