Contemporary art moves so fast that it can be hard to keep track. But the curated sections of contemporary art fairs offer an opportunity to grab a snapshot of the newest galleries, as well as the youngest, hippest artists. Who wants to go traipsing around warehouse districts in dark bits of the city when you can have it all in one brightly lit place? Echoes, which is the newest section at Art Basel Hong Kong, is dedicated to works created within the past five years, all shown in focused presentations of up to three artists by galleries from across the world.
Natalia Załuska, Double Q Gallery
Hong Kong’s Double Q Gallery is making its fair debut with a single-artist presentation by the Polish Minimalist Natalia Załuska. Her intervention here will transform the Double Q booth into a huge, immersive work of geometric abstraction, playing with the boundaries between two- and three-dimensional space. Załuska’s take on abstraction is anything but cold and mathematical though, emphasising an intentionally painterly approach filled with brush marks and human touches.
