Are there alternatives to money? Must money and the market be the dominant arbiter of value? How else can artists achieve exposure and recognition? Are there better ways for artists to question and contest issues, structures and social mores? Can we find new paradigms for intellectual and artistic inquiry and debate? If so, can these alternatives also offer inclusiveness, pluralism, self determination, independence and integrity? Osage Kwun Tong 5/F, Kian Dai Industrial Building, 73-75 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The exhibion is open now and continues until 17 June 2012 The artists are Au Hoi Lam, Leung Mee Ping, anothermountainman, Luke Ching, David Clarke, Wilson Shieh, Ho Sin Tung, Kacey Wong, Poklong Anading, Chow Chun Fai, Map Office, Tintin Wulia and Kentaro Hiroki.

]]> Comment on What went for how much at Art Beijing 2012? Red dot round up by Art Radar http://artradarjournal.com/2012/05/05/what-went-for-how-much-at-art-beijing-2012-red-dot-round-up/#comment-14977 Art Radar Fri, 18 May 2012 16:16:37 +0000 http://artradarjournal.com/?p=13768#comment-14977 Thanks for the comment, Craig. There is definitely a fixed set of styles endemic to the Beijing art scene. It's also important to note that art fairs in general may have a homogenising effect on what is exhibited and sold. With the high booth rental costs at Art Beijing, it's possible galleries went with what they thought were the safest works. Thanks for the comment, Craig.
