全民抗疫｜藝術屆盛事Art Basel HK 2020 因疫情取消

by

Art Basel 可說是每年藝術屆最受注目的盛事，也是全亞洲最多參展的藝術展。當中除了展示數百至幾千張畫作，更會展示不少大型藝術品，每年都吸引亞洲不少的藝術家到來觀看。然而今年原定在3月19至21日舉行的Art Basel HK 2020，在今天卻宣布取消今年的展會。

由於世界衛生組織已把近期新型冠狀病毒的爆發定為全球衛生緊急狀態，而這個亞洲大型藝術展在3天的展期會吸引大量人流聚集；Art Basel要顧及展商、觀眾及工作人員的健康及安全，決定把今年的Art Basel HK 2020取消。

🌴🦩The Sunshine State shines bright in ‘Distinctively Floridian’, a new series by @HernanBas featuring mythic and archetypal male figures. @FredricSnitzerGallery’s Miami Beach 2019 presentation was tipped by @nytimes as ‘some of the strongest work to emerge from Miami over the past two decades.’ Although the artist now lives and works in Detroit, Michigan, his greatest influence is the city and state that shaped his early career: Miami, Florida. — 🎨: Hernan Bas, ‘The Homesick Floridian’ (detail), ‘The Permanent Tourist (after Charlie Harper)’, and a detail of ‘a zombie and a flaming volcano‘ (all 2019). #hernanbas #fredricsnitzergallery #painting #acrylicpainting #portraitpainting #contemporaryart #artbaselmiami #artbaselmiamibeach #artbasel #florida #sunshinestate

#HappyNewYear! We look forward to sharing another 365 days of art with you. — The countdown to our 2020 editions starts now! • 169 days until #ArtBasel in Basel (June 18–21) • 337 days until #ArtBaselMiamiBeach (December 3–6) — #ZachHarris creates art rooted in multiple traditions of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Through planning and preparatory studies, Harris’s works synthesize his interests and depict narratives about how societies imagine the structure of time, the divine, and other mystical categories of experience. In ‘Studies for 20/20’ Harris employs recurring mathematical motifs, like the Golden Ratio and the 12-month calendar, to generate a unified body of work. — Zach Harris, ‘Study for 2020 (12 Month/Color)’, 2017, via @DavidKordanskyGallery #happy2020 #newyear #newdecade #newdecade2020

💪 vs. 🐊 — Nathaniel Choate, ‘Maquette for Alligator Bender’ – captured by @adamlapinski – and presented by @hirschlandadler at Art Basel Miami Beach 2019. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The 1937 maquette, served as the artist’s preliminary working model for ‘Alligator Bender’, his large-scale carved marble sculpture installed a year later at @Brookgreen_Gardens in South Carolina. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Choate (1899–1965) was an American painter and sculptor with noteworthy achievements, from serving as vice president of the @NationalSculptureSociety to designing the medal of @Harvard’s Signet Society. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nathanielchoate #hirschlandadler #artbasel #artbaselmiami #artbaselmiamibeach #americanartist #sculpture #modelmaking #maquette

其實在2019年已有少許參展商，因香港反修例風波引至政局不穩而決定退出Art Basel HK 2020，然而Art Basel亦沒有因而放棄，反而繼續積極籌劃展覧。可惜新型冠狀病毒的爆發及擴散令Art Basel不得不取消今年的展覧，而Art Basel HK 2021將會在2021年3月25－3月27日舉行；各位快把2021年的展期寫下，在下年彌補今年的遺憾吧！
