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.

At the New Art Dealers Alliance (Nada) New York fair, running until 17 May, multiple artists are presenting works that heavily incorporate textiles to explore themes of culture, belonging, and history. Artists such as Keith Lafuente (with SoMad), Polina Osipova (with JO-HS), and Griselda Rosas (with Luis De Jesus Los Angeles) use fabric and sewing techniques to examine histories of inequality, migration, and labor. Rosas embroiders over painted paper using imagery from Mexican codices, Osipova prints family photos onto traditional Chuvash fabric, and Lafuente repurposes scraps from Oscar de la Renta to comment on global labor inequalities. Other participants like Ruth Owens (with Voltz Clarke Gallery) use textiles in lightbox works to tell personal stories of migration and abduction.

The fair, founded in 2015 by a group of independent galleries, plans to establish a lasting presence in Milan, with founder Nerina Ciaccia citing alignment with the fair's values and approach to the art market.

The art market has shrunk 12% to $57.5 billion since 2022, dragging down collateral values and triggering margin calls. Meanwhile, Australia's social media ban for under-16s raises questions for museums, with the Art Gallery of New South Wales noting minimal impact but the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia more reliant on youth engagement.

are museums spending enough marketing new report

A new report from Remuseum, an initiative of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art funded by collector David Booth and the Ford Foundation, reveals that American museums are struggling with post-pandemic visitation declines and rising costs, yet they invest less than three percent of their operating budgets on marketing—comparable to mining and construction industries. The report contrasts historical resistance to marketing, exemplified by former Met president William Luers, with the Getty's Harold Williams, who embraced it. Case studies from the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Peabody Essex Museum show how museums can use audience personas to boost attendance, but current spending remains far below the 13.9 to 18.7 percent of revenues that consultant Colleen Dilenschneider says is needed to reach full market potential.

Exhibition | Kimiyo Mishima, 'FRAGILE' at Nonaka-Hill, Los Angeles, United States

This article profiles Japanese artist Kimiyo Mishima, whose ceramic sculptures meticulously replicate discarded newspapers, cans, and other trash. Mishima, who died recently, began her career with painting and collage before pioneering a technique in 1971 of silk-screening and painting thin clay sheets rolled with an udon noodle roller to create fragile, lifelike sculptures of garbage. Her work was shaped by her experience growing up in postwar Osaka and her revulsion at consumer culture's disposable nature, leading her to collect trash from the streets of New York and Paris during artist grants.
