And it's often the same big names doing their world tour. But it also gives more opportunities to rising talents.<br />The thing is as long as the usual suspects and media monopoles control the flow of investments in production and distribution, independent media and productions will suffer. The main headache remains that even with maturing, diversifying local industries, Asian talents must first make a name abroad, in order to gain some sort of financial credibility at home, often after years of miserable toil or expatriation. And then artists recognized and financed by the West fall into a continuous biennale ghetto cut off from local media and audiences, and fueled by the current absurd speculation.曳魔鬼 yaimogweihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140184803075413454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480764156513597687.post-32448225833588355252011-07-07T08:20:51.679+02:002011-07-07T08:20:51.679+02:00Love them and thanks for putting them up.

With Basel bought HK partially(and could/would take up 100%) & a new fair in NY next feb in contention, I'm curious to know your thoughts on order/weight of standings with bulging amount of art fairs based on what you see.Steven Changhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087020481067925016noreply@blogger.com
