About:
The discussion panel focused on a specific aspect of curating: shopping. In the context of a highly fragmented creative economy, shopping has become an important driver behind the way art is viewed and sold. Art Basel Hong Kong provides the backdrop for this topic. The panel touched upon several case studies that examine the interplay of art, shopping, and collocated industries such as real estate and finance.
