2024 has been a year of mega art fairs for this writer – from Art Basel Hong Kong (with five Australian booths), Frieze and Kiaf Seoul to Art021 and West Bund Art & Design in Shanghai, fair season usually features an itinerary of six- or seven-hour days inside a convention centre. Alongside the FoMO (fear of missing out) comes the fair-tigue, but what if there’s another approach to art fairs, right here on home turf?
The first iteration featured paintings, photography and sculptures both indoors and out, as well as the roving presence of playful costumed duo, The Huxleys.
