The Encounters sector at Art Basel Hong Kong presents large scale sculpture and installation works by leading artist from around the world, and this year, some highlights include works by names such as Subodh Gupta, Cho Yu Cheng, Jorge Pardo and Ivan Navarro to name a few. Some top galleries showcasing in this section include Edouard Malingue gallery, Paul Kasmin gallery, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac and Arario gallery among others.
The sector provides visitors an opportunity to see works that transcend the traditional art fair stands, presented in prominent locations throughout the exhibition halls. It is curated by Alexie Glass-Cantor and is supported by MGM Resorts Art & Culture.
