💥Thrilled to kick off art week in Hong Kong with my first feature for @financialtimes 📰 🤓
Even more pleased to write about new cultural spaces and initiatives in the city including GOLD by @serakai_studio , @knottingspace.hk , @chenglanfdn , and older ones like @currentplans@tomorrowmaybe_hk , among others.
Link in bio.
There are may more I wish I could have included- so please do check them out and other art guides (@ocula and @scmp know whatsup) in the city - lots to see while you’re here if you’re in the mood for discovery.
Happy Art Week 🙏🏼 🇭🇰 🧿
💥Running it up with @hanumankind 💥I interviewed the rapper for @dazedmiddleeast a couple weeks before his Coachella debut last weekend. He bought the essence and sound Kerala (via Chenda 🥁) galvanising festival goers with his now trademark combination of his sound and gripping visuals (as seen in his recent hit singles Run it Up and Big Dawgs), shaped by global forces but very much rooted in India.
“We move in a certain way and think in a certain way. I don’t think so many people on that [west] side of the world have really been able to understand that,” says the rapper, intending to catalyse that shift. Read more about the trailblazing artist, link to the interview in bio and also here:

🔔My review of the Taipei Biennial is out for @monopolmagazin - Curated by @sbardaouil and @till.fellrath - Whispers on the Horizon is a beautiful reminder to live in nuance and feel the feels.
Breaking from previous editions, the current Taipei Biennial notably reflects a highly emotive and experiential curatorial approach, rather than a primarily academic one,
yielding a show that captures a universally resounding sentiment—yearning. The artworks fill the intangible gap between the upheaval we currently endure and the hope we hold onto. If you let it, Whispers on the Horizon, Bardoudil, Fellrath, and the participating artists make you feel as much as they make you think—if you slow down just enough.
Couldn’t mention all the artists and artworks I liked (theres a pesky little thing called wordcount) - but tried to include some here.

Also caught a @charweitsai ‘s beautiful show at @tkg_plus and Halloween in Taipei is a vibe - people COMMIT to their costumes. Respect. 🫡
A few of my favorites from @bukhara.biennial 🍈💙🪡
(Part 1?)
Genius idea to make all works in Bukhara/Uzbekistan, and engage in genuine collaboration and exchange ✨
Thank you to @acdfuz and @scott_andco for organising such a wonderful trip and congrats to @gayane_umerova and @dhakadiana on a very special biennial 🙌🏼
