"Kill Crazy" 2023 "Art Basel Hong Kong" reboots the art "crazy" mode

Art Basel is the world's most prestigious international art exhibition, equivalent to the Oscars of film and television and the World Cup of football.

The New York Times called it "the Olympic event of the art world"; The Paris Journal described it as "the best art exhibition in the world"; The Frankfurter Zeitung called it "the best art event"; Vogue magazine called it "the most beautiful temporary art museum in the world." All kinds of titles, you can see the grandeur of its name.

Notably, Hand Me Your Trust, commissioned by M+ and supported by Art Basel and UBS, is Rist's latest site-specific moving image work on the M+ Curtain Wall. Nestled between Hong Kong's world-famous Victoria Harbour skyline, M+ Curtain Wall combines Rist's renowned color palette with flexible and free lenses to match the ever-changing landscape of Hong Kong's cityscape.

Riester explores the concept of the hand at different scales and presents the dynamics of the city – from human size to skyscrapers. The hands on the M+ curtain wall move between objects at different speeds, taking the audience back to Hong Kong's historic design and architecture, while paying homage to the skill of molding, placing and creating these ubiquitous objects. For Riested, her work not only sees the hand as a part of the human body used for work and creation;

I also interpret from an ornamental perspective that our hands are a beautiful extension of our emotions, allowing us to communicate silently with other living beings.

The works will be on display on the M+ Curtain Wall every Saturday and Sunday from 7pm to 9pm from 18 March to 21 May 2023 and from 7pm to 9pm on Saturdays and Sundays from 22 May to 17 June 2023.

Encounters

"Art Gathering Space"

Alexie Glass-Kantor, Executive Director of Artspace in Sydney and curator of the Australian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale, will serve as curator of Art Gathering Space for the sixth time, focusing on "This Moment. This present, moment" theme, exhibiting a number of large-scale installations. Selected projects include works by Yang Peikeng, Lin Lan, Fu Dan, Shubigi Rao, Wu Svala Thórsdóttir, etc.

Glass-Kantor says:

The return of the art gathering space after many years of absence, is really meaningful. Each of this year's art projects is about how we—individually and collectively—master space, that is, how we can live in a strange and fluid present.
