Working as an Artist in Hong Kong (Michelle Fung)

Michelle Fung reflects on the realities of working as an artist in Hong Kong, dispelling the romantic myth of the bohemian artist. She describes the city's high cost of living, lack of affordable studio space, and the need for artists to take on multiple jobs—from teaching to selling secondhand handbags—to survive. Fung notes that while Hong Kong offers a vibrant art scene with over 70 galleries and a dozen museums, most artists cannot rely on gallery sales alone. She also critiques the Hong Kong Arts Development Council's grant system, which covers project expenses but provides minimal artist fees, contrasting it with more generous systems in Canada and the Netherlands.

Art in Wisconsin: A Guide for Collectors, Curators and the Curious

This article, written by Brian Hieggelke, serves as an editorial introduction to a special issue focused on the visual art scene in Wisconsin. It contrasts the state's art world with that of neighboring Illinois, highlighting Wisconsin's unique, friendly quirkiness and its abundance of self-taught artists. The piece recounts a visit to the inaugural Door County Contemporary art fair in Fish Creek, noting the small scale but immense charm, and the multi-hyphenate nature of Wisconsin's art players who are simultaneously artists, gallerists, and writers. The article then provides a table of contents for the issue, covering topics from the Kohler Arts Residency to the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts, and introduces several contributors including artists, writers, and educators.

The Myth of the “Emerging” Black Artist: Ageism and Access in the Art World

The article, written by Chenoa Baker, critiques the art world's labeling system that categorizes artists as emerging, mid-career, or established. It argues that these labels are particularly harmful to Black artists, who are often kept in the "emerging" category for years despite significant achievements, collections, and decades of practice. The piece highlights the cases of Cheryl Miller, a self-taught analog photographer whose work is held by major institutions yet who had to "re-emerge" after relocating, and Ifé Franklin, a queer Black artist whose career was sidelined by systemic erasure and who is now being honored as an "elder" artist. The article connects these labels to ageism, lack of access to elite schools and galleries, and the undervaluing of self-taught artists and those working outside traditional art centers.

The installation is not a nostalgic archive but a space of dialogue and reflection, using the visual codes of a fashion show backstage to explore themes of memory, freedom, and utopian intentions.

Designer Stella Ishii, co-owner of fashion showroom the NEWS and founder of label 6397, discusses her SoHo loft and the neighborhood's artistic legacy in an interview with curator Clarissa Dalrymple. Ishii, who moved from Japan to New York in the 1990s after working with Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo, bought a 3,000-square-foot cast-iron loft with her artist husband Jerry Kamitaki in 1997, preserving a rare artist-priced property in a rapidly gentrifying area. The conversation touches on SoHo's transformation from an artist haven—home to figures like Gordon Matta-Clark, Donald Judd, Joan Jonas, and gallerist Paula Cooper—to a commercial district, as well as Ishii's collecting habits and the loft's role as a creative space for performances and guests.
