The art world again focuses on Hong Kong this March with several exhibitions bringing thousands of art pieces from emerging and established artists to the SAR.
As we say each year the old cliche still holds ‘one man or woman’s art is another’s trash’, and you’ll undoubtedly wonder exactly what the attraction of some pieces are – but there’s enough variety that you’ll likely find a few things to discuss, enjoy and perhaps even buy.

Since this event started, we’ve included it here for free. This year, after listing the event in bc‘s event diary, bc received an email from the organiser demanding that we include a photo in the listing of their new (expensively created, no doubt) company logo…
In all the years bc‘s been covering this event, bc have not received a single dollar in advertising support. Not even an email thank-you for the free coverage… Nada.
So in response to their demand, we politely told them to F**k Off. If they want event coverage and logo exposure – pay for it, like they demand that companies do to have their logo associated with their event.
So we apologise to you, dear readers, that the event information isn’t here as you’d expect, but the event organiser doesn’t appear to think your dollars are welcome at their event.
