Conversations

Art Basel Conversations presents a stimulating series of panel discussions on topics concerning the global contemporary art scene between prominent members of the international artworld – artists, gallerists, curators, collectors, architects, critics, and many other cultural figures – each offering their unique perspectives on producing, collecting, and exhibiting art.
	 This year, Art Basel in Hong Kong collaborates with 
	ArtAsiaPacific, in honour of their 25th anniversary, with a series of four panels that revisit and examine contemporary art in Asia from curatorial, institutional, technological and commercial perspectives, during the magazine’s founding decade in the 1990s. Conversations is curated by Stephanie Bailey, Writer and Editor, Hong Kong/London. Watch videos of our 2019 Conversations program below.
