Visit HONG KONG ๐ญ๐ฐ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by johnnyh on Sept 30, 2014 20:20:35 GMT 1, This has been going on for a while. I mentioned it in the Ai Wei Wei instagram thing.
Not sure this is going to end well as there is a lot in the mix. China is scared that if Hong Kong gets a free vote on who is in the local govt that an outspoken critic could be elected criticize the govt and demand democracy in the mainland. Likewise they are scared that this demo could spread to the mainland.
It's a student led protest just as Tianamen was and the organisers of Tianamen not arrested escaped through Hong Kong so there is also a bit of history.
I really do not see the Chinese govt backing down on this one which does not bode well.
Although this at the moment is being managed by the HK security I have just recieved a small vid showing camouflaged security vehicles on the street and some of the local tales from people there are quite worrying.So things are escalating. If they bring in security from the mainland there will be serious trouble and a big clamp down so it needs the protesters and the local govt in HK to keep a handle on things or things could get really messy. Do hope this ends peacefully but I have my doubts.

Hong Kong is a very educated conservative society so that why this problem is a bit weird in that they are a very ordered society. I actually doubt even given the chance that they would vote in rebels etc. it's very ordered with good services etc, low taxes and good health and education
But that is what the Chinese are scared of...they only want their parliment as it were to contain those loyal to China. But now they are worried that this could spread to the mainland

(LOTS OF PHOTOS)
The Basel Art Fair circuit is pretty clear cut when it comes to scheduling for its mainstay fairs around the world. Art Basel takes Europe in June, Art Basel Miami takes hold of North America in December and Asia circles the calendar in May for the art world to visit Art Basel Hong Kong. But this year, the folks in charge of Art Basel shook things up and moved the fair to March.
AM recently visited Hong Kong to catch the event in Hong Kong at the Wan Chai convention center. Again utilizing two floors of the massive exhibition arena, Basel sets the standard for art fairs. Cramped is not a word that comes to mind in the three days it took us to take in the fair. With over 250 galleries and 3000 artists to display, one might think galleries would be packed together like sardines in a can, but it was the opposite. The fair gives every gallery plenty of space to stretch out and showcase the artwork in a fashion similar to their native gallery environment. In addition, the design of the fair utilizes the enormous space of the convention center and allows multiple installations to spread out while engulfing and entertaining fair goers.

Currently I'm in China but will be in Hong Kong for the weekend before I head back to the U.K,so might go and check it out again. If anyone is ever in Hong Kong, it's a must to go and visit.
