Gmgm! I had a great time today speaking at Art Basel’s digital dialogues sponsored by @taex_com with @_payaluttam and Miao Ying. Thank you those who came to support 🫶😘

Great round up of one of the world’s most exciting art scene by @_payaluttam-How Jakarta became a must-visit Southeast Asian art hotspot. The Indonesian capital is buzzing with galleries, collective projects, and museums | Art Basel https://t.co/ehy5sPLZOA

In 10 years, will people regret not collecting digital art? NFT collector @zhang_matt thinks so. We talked about the future of art in Web3 @artbasel: https://t.co/V9YOFFRzuR #NFTs #DigitalArt #FutureOfArt" #NFTCommunity

Apocalyptic floods and famines in Pakistan & Africa have ruined millions of lives which we aren't talking about but when two people threw soup at a Van Gogh suddenly everyone pays attention. Why not protect the beauty of the planet like we do our art? https://t.co/KaM8jwPlPd

Will Singapore’s thriving art market topple Hong Kong’s as Asia’s largest? https://t.co/bSv0DcKM66 via @scmpnews

While much of the art world still remains shuttered several Asian art capitals have reopened. Some galleries in Hong Kong never shut. I spoke to a few gallerists across the region about how they are adapting to a new reality

"The reality that covid-19...reveals is that there has long been two Singapores: one for citizens, long-term residents and expatriates, and one for the low-wage migrant workers who provide the back-breaking labor upon which Singapore gleams." https://t.co/utwrBBzdQx @kixes

[Payal Uttam @_payaluttam]

"“Every beautiful condo, every plush hotel is built by them, and ironically now Singapore is struggling to find space to segregate them while this virus rages on." Migrant workers are suffering the most in Singapore. Great article on why: https://t.co/lu1vsNDtuS

Don't let staying indoors stop you from busting a move, or getting to know your neighbours.

Antony Gormley’s epic exhibition @royalacademy required extra reinforcements to gallery floors and ceilings. It’s that kind of show, in a good way.

你把說話寫在紙上送給我
我沒有��麼可送，寫下:

"木瓜!" 切開來，那麼多
點點黑色的不確定東西

I have your words, that you put down on paper,
But nothing at hand to return, so I write down

papaya. I cut one open: so many
Dark points, so many undefined things.

Just took a taxi to the airport. The driver wouldn’t let me pay because he said he was so grateful to the international media. At the terminal he shook my hand and said: “Please tell the World that #HongKong people will never give up! We will keep fighting for our freedom!”.
