Besides the return of Art Basel and Art Central in Hong Kong – yes, Hong Kong is back! – there’s plenty more art to see and discover around town during Hong Kong Art Week 2024. Here are some of our fave satellite exhibitions and events:
Supper Club at Fringe Club
Looking for something completely different from the typical art fair experience? Co-organised by Fringe Club, Willem Molesworth and Ysabelle Cheung (founders of PHD Group), and Alex Chan (of THE SHOPHOUSE), Supper Club promises to mix things up with live performances, panel talks and the works of 22 different galleries curated by independent curator, Anqi Li.
Open later from 4pm-1am from 25-30 March, participating galleries include Tabula Rasa (Beijing, China / London, UK), Cylinder (Seoul, South Korea), Anomaly (Tokyo, Japan), Nova Contemporary (Bangkok, Thailand), PHD Group (Hong Kong SAR, China), THE SHOPHOUSE (Hong Kong SAR, China) and more.
There’s even a VIP lounge area inside with exclusive LUXE Hong Kong guides and a special offer for Supper Club VIPs – so you can download the app and access all our insider tips during Hong Kong Art Week.

Art in Resonance at The Peninsula Hong Kong
Open to the public from 25 March to 17 May 2024, The Peninsula Hotels’ Art in Resonance programme returns with a brand new exhibition at its flagship hotel, The Peninsula Hong Kong. Scattered throughout the hotel, the programme showcases the work of four artists: Elise Morin, Kingsley Ng, Lachlan Turczan and Saya Woolfalk – all of whom come from vastly different walks of life.
From Kingsley Ng’s Esmeralda of jade-coloured ribbons hanging outside of the hotel’s facade and Lachlan Turczan’s sound-and-water phenomenon, Harmonic Resonance, to Elise Morin’s stunning lobby piece, SOLI, made from shattered CD-rom discs (remember those?) and Saya Woolfalk’s Visionary Reality Portal, an immersive digital-meditation chamber meant to cocoon you from the outside world, these pieces are not to be missed.

<ALT=“BASEL”> – The Trilogy x Star-kin Presents: Nightlife Curation & Cabaret Arts
An intersection of culture, nightlife and community-centric art, this action-packed evening at The Trilogy features panel discussions with Jason Swamy, Andrew Bull and De Kai, cabaret performances and live band music by the likes of Diana D’Arenberg, Phil D and La Chiquitta, plus visual art displays from Nick Teeple, Alvin CK Lam, Shawn P Griffin, and more.
If there was any event to show how nightclubs, grassroots visual arts communities, and cabaret as vital hubs of communal spirit and artistic expression, this’d be it.
The party goes from 5pm-late on 26 March 2024; tickets can be purchased here (or join the afterparty here).
Offsite Encounters at Art Basel Hong Kong, Pacific Place
The only offsite project from Art Basel Hong Kong’s Encounters programme this year is located at the luxurious retail haven in Admiralty, Pacific Place. Perfect for a pit stop during your next shopping spree, ‘Doan’ is a three-part installation by First Nations Australian artist Daniel Boyd that features a mirrored floor (feel free to step on it), digital screen of moving images, and dotted window treatment that plays with the beauty of natural light.
Presented by Kukje Gallery (Seoul, Busan) and Station (Melbourne, Sydney) and supported by Swire Properties, the mesmerising artwork by Boyd explores the themes of identity, memory, perception and history and will be on show from 21 March to 7 April 2024 on Level 1, Park Court of Pacific Place.
