From 21 to 25 March, Art Central Hong Kong 2017, taking place at the Central Harbourfront, will see a gathering of 100 galleries from around the world, three-quarters of which are from the Asia-Pacific region.

The art fair is divided into four sectors: Central, with a focus on galleries from Asia both established and new; Rise, which features galleries and art spaces that are less than 6 years old with solo and duo shows by emerging artists; Projects, for installations, and Media x Mumm, presented by Mumm Champagne, showcasing digital works.

Among the galleries on home ground in the CENTRAL sector is Sin Sin Fine Art, which will present works of Indonesian artist Eddi Prabandono and Cuban artist Carlos Garcia de la Nuez, with concurrent gallery exhibition ‘Boundless Voyage’. Another is Hong Kong’s La Galerie Paris 1839, which will bring Taiwanese artist Chou Ching Hui’s ‘Animal Farm’ series that looks into a collective concept of melting the boundaries of individuals where we share the universal identity of exploration. Gallery founder Sin Sin Man says, “Shining a spotlight on galleries from the Asia Pacific region, Art Central in Hong Kong features edgier works from emerging artists. Art Central is a premier stage for exhibiting [Southeast Asian] contemporary art practitioners. It’s important for us to bring the artists to the audiences here.”
