When art takes you on an adventure
When she founded the Q Art Group, Queenie Rosita Law wanted to showcase both emerging and historically overlooked artists from around the world. Almost seven years later, the Hong Kong native has established her gallery as a benchmark for Central and Eastern European contemporary artists in Asia—and she teases that there’s more to come.
This week, as we highlight Law bringing European artists’ work to Hong Kong, we also want to bring your attention to the few Asian artists being exhibited in Italy during the Venice Biennale. But if travelling internationally isn’t on the cards this week, perhaps you could explore the world via wine: Tatler Dining’s Best Sommelier is all about ingenious wine pairings.
Other newsletter highlights this week:
- Indie K-pop artist Lim Kim on challenging racism, singing about female empowerment and collaborating with 1milliondance studio.
- Traveling to Busan soon? Here’s our food lover’s guide to the South Korean city.
- From Chinese antique pocket watches to Japanese incense clocks: Tatler traced Asia’s history of timekeeping.
