Open Platform | AAA's booth at Art Basel

Open Platform is an extension of Asia Art Archive’s endeavour to enable new thinking in the field. Following an open call, selected cultural practitioners will use the Archive’s network to host meetings in AAA’s booth at Art Basel in Hong Kong. These ‘meetings without doors’ at the booth, jointly designed by Hong Kong based creative units Art Lab and Milkxhake, will be a place for the hosts to further their ongoing projects, catalyse new ones, or simply be an opportunity to make connections.
