HONG KONG - Golden Connection, two light sculpture installations by Peruvian artist Grimanesa Amorós will be featured at BAZAAR ART NIGHT on May 23rd, 2013 at the Four Seasons Hotel. Organized by BAZAAR ART, the most influential Chinese art magazine, and The Royal Academy of the Arts, the gala is being held to celebrate the first edition of Art Basel Hong Kong. With a theme of "Art Changes the World," the event confirms Hong Kong's place as a significant player in the emerging global art market.
Grimanesa Amorós is an interdisciplinary artist whose work has been greatly influenced by her interest in social history, scientific research and critical theory. She uses sculpture, video, and lighting to create works that illuminate our notions of personal identity and community. For Amorós, art and modern technology are sources for information, connection, and creation. She wants to explore the duality of the culture of ancient spirituality and modern technology. "We take the power of our technology for granted, yet 3,000 years ago they would have been considered divine," says Amorós.Videos
