Introducing five new galleries to Art Basel’s Hong Kong show 巴塞爾藝術展香港展會呈獻五間首度參展之藝廊 Dear Jamie Forbes, Ahead of the 2018 edition of Art Basel in Hong Kong, we are continuing last year's well-received 'Meet the Gallerists' series in Miami Beach and are pleased to share five video portraits of first-time participants in the Hong Kong show. These intimate interviews explore the gallery’s artists, as well as the role they play within their respective art scenes. We are delighted to introduce JTT (New York), Don Gallery (Shanghai), Miguel Abreu Gallery (New York), Tarq (Mumbai), and Dastan's Basement (Tehran), the first Iranian gallery ever to participate in an Art Basel show. The galleries offer intriguing propositions, from JTT, whose booth will feature two site-specific sculptures by Charles Harlan, using found materials collected in Hong Kong, to Tarq, where Vishwa Shroff will show delicate architectural watercolors We look forward to introducing you to these inspiring gallerists in the coming weeks, and invite you to meet JTT Gallery's founder Jasmin Tsou, by clikcing here. 親愛的Jamie Forbes： 2018年巴塞爾藝術展香港展會舉行在即，我們專誠為大家製作了五段全新影片，與你分享首度參展香港展會的藝廊特寫，延續支持各新晉及中型藝廊的使命。去年於邁阿密海灘展會首次推出的「與藝廊訪談」錄影特輯好評如潮，我們再接再厲為香港展會錄製了全新的焦點訪談，並橫越紐約到上海，以至德黑蘭及孟買，目的是要讓大家認識藝廊旗下的藝術家，同時探討他們在各自藝術領域所擔當的角色。 我們很高興向你介紹JTT（紐約）、東畫廊（上海）、Miguel Abreu Gallery（紐約）及Tarq（孟買）。此外，不得不提的是Dastan’s Basement，這間來自德克蘭的藝廊是有史以來首間參與巴塞爾藝術展的伊朗藝廊。 這些藝廊都抱負著魅力不凡的宗旨：JTT將展示兩個由Charles Harlan運用在香港收集的現成物料而創作的場域特定雕塑；Tarq旗下的Vishwa Shroff將展示精致的建築水彩作品。 我們期待在未來數週為你介紹這些藝廊從業者，並邀請你與率先亮相的藝廊JTT及其創辦人兼總監Jasmin Tsou會面。請按此觀看影片。 With warm regards, 祝 藝安！   Adeline Ooi 黃雅君 Director Asia 亞洲總監 #fineartmagazine #fineartmagazine
