Until now, there is no more information about this exhibition. The news is released. No one knows whether the suspension is temporary or permanent.
On the contrary, the Taipei Contemporary, which opened its first edition last year, is in full swing and ushered in its second edition in 2020.

In order to attract more young and emerging collectors, artworks in this area will be sold at affordable prices.

Art Basel Hong Kong Exhibition (Art Basel | Hong Kong)
March 19-21
2020 Hong Kong Basel will have 244 galleries from 31 countries and regions participating, but the most interesting What people worry about is whether it can be held smoothly and steadily. Fortunately, the exhibition has been working hard to reassure exhibitors by providing various discounts and incentives.
last month, they sent an email to the exhibitors collectively:

At the same time, a 10% discount will be provided on the lighting and ground facilities of the booth, and the hotel and other cooperative suppliers will also make necessary discounts. Some exhibitors of
expressed in interviews with the media that considering the importance of Art Basel to their profits, most people still think that the organizers of the exhibition have done their best under the complicated situation, and they are satisfied with this.
Basel also hopes that this adjustment can reaffirm their commitment to the art industry since 2013 landed on Hong Kong , and also demonstrate their commitment to supporting galleries in all possible ways.
In addition, there will be two more concentrated art activities in March, which are worthy of 's attention to . One is the Gallery Weekend Beijing () held by from March 13th to 20th and , and the other is Art Central Art Exhibition held at the same time as Art Central in Hong Kong and from March 17th to 22nd.

Art Beijing (Art Beijing)
April 30-May 3
This year is the 15th Art Beijing, April 30 is the VIP preview, and the public opening day starts on May 1. Judging from the popular operation of choosing the May Day holiday every year as the exhibition period, “presenting the state of large-span, multi-level art consumption” is the unique strategy of Art Beijing. Dong Mengyang, director of
Art Beijing, hopes to make Art Beijing more diversified. “ is not only doing business but also doing education at the China Art Expo.”

Artist in a place.
Art Basel (Art Basel | Basel)
June 18-21
Since the establishment of three Swiss businessmen in 1970, Art Basel has been born for half a century. 2020 is the 50th anniversary of Art Basel, so it is of great significance to Basel, Switzerland.
In 1970, the Art Basel exhibition was attended by 90 galleries from 10 countries and , with more than 16,000 visitors.
In 2019, in Basel, Switzerland alone, 290 galleries from dozens of countries and participated in the exhibition, with 93,000 visitors.
Obviously, Art Basel today is more than just a famous exhibition brand. Its function is as it was written in the first catalogue after its birth: "Free time, satisfactory salary, far-reaching and extensive communication methods and intensive exhibition activities, these all make more people Interested in contemporary art." To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Art Basel in 2020, they will hold special local art projects in Hong Kong , Basel and Miami Beach, and commission artists to create.

[Q3, 2020]
The art circle in the third quarter was slightly deserted, and it is worthy of domestic colleagues to pay attention to . Perhaps only Beijing Contemporary, which opened at the end of August, and the Video Shanghai Art Exhibition , opened in mid-to-late September.
Beijing Contemporary Art Expo (Beijing Contemporary Art Expo)
at the end of August 2020
2020 Beijing Contemporary will usher in the third edition. The time should be the same as last year (2019.8.29-8.31), which is at the end of August, because the summer seems It is more in line with Beijing contemporary. Just like the art director Bao Dong said at the opening ceremony of the previous exhibition: “The weather is an important condition for Beijing Contemporary!” The ability of
contemporary art to usher in more audiences is the desire of industry professionals for many years. An obvious trend in Beijing Contemporary Art Exhibition. “For Beijing Contemporary, it not only hopes to build a trading platform; the more important significance lies in how to encourage more citizens to enter the agricultural exhibition hall to appreciate the charm of art.” Bao Dong said.
Image Shanghai Art Expo (PHOTOFAIRS)
September 18-20 The positioning of
Image Shanghai is: Asia-Pacific region, collection of image art, mobile image and new media art, an important platform. In other words, here, you can see not only the classic creations of masters, but also the creations of today's cutting-edge and emerging artists.
2020 will be the 7th edition of Photo Shanghai. 50 important and pioneer contemporary galleries from countries and regions around the world will participate in the exhibition, continuing to showcase the breadth and versatility of photography.
In the third quarter of overseas, there was news that the art landing in Jakarta that would appear in August was also quiet, just like the Singapore exhibition. Art Stage, an exhibition brand that was once highly anticipated in Asia, is so dim that it makes people worry about it.
[Q4, 2020]
The fourth quarter may be the most painful and happy stage for practitioners in the art circle:
In October, Frieze London + Frieze Masters Exhibition + Fine Art Asia + Hong Kong Ink Painting + Taipei Art fair.
In November, Shanghai ART021 + West Bund Art and Design Expo .
Basel, Miami in early December.
Let’s talk about London Frieze first. In 2020, it may be because of Brexit that it will be used more for comparison and debate.
Frieze London & Frieze Master exhibition (Frieze London & Frieze Master)
October 8-11
On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom will officially leave the European Union. A large number of problems in the British art circle are in urgent need of solutions, and whether these problems will be solved before Frieze starts may be a problem that many British art practitioners have been worried about since the beginning of the year.
What about the free circulation of artworks in Europe? What about EU citizens' work and residence permit issues in the UK? The various costs of artworks from the EU countries will increase, what should be done? For example, shipping costs, currency fluctuations, customs clearance time, visas for curators and other staff.
As of press time, Frieze London's participation application is still in progress, and the deadline is January 23, 2020.
Taipei International Art Expo (ART TAIPEI)
October 23-26
2020 is the 27th year of the Taipei Art Fair, and it has become a leader in the art ecology of Taiwan . In the view of Zhong Jingxin, chairman of the Gallery Association, the greatest impact that Taipei Art Fair will have on the local market in the Taiwan region is “continuously regenerate the ground and maintain the prices of local artists”.
In terms of theme positioning, Taipei Art Fair is also seriously thinking about it, which is in line with the present. For example, the development of tide culture in 2019 is also a comprehensive consideration under the background of the increase of young collectors.
Many people are looking forward to what the Taipei Art Fair will focus on in 2020.
ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Expo (ART021)
November 11th-November 15th
This year ART021 will usher in the eighth exhibition, and the venue should still be at the Shanghai Exhibition Center. Judging from the number and scale of 110 domestic and overseas exhibiting galleries last year, the art map of ART021 is extending from Europe and North America to emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
West Bund Art & Design Expo (West Bund Art & Design)
November 11th-November 15th
Every year ART021 and the West Bund Art Fair properly adjust the time of the art circle to "Shanghai Time". The West Bund Art Fair is one year younger than ART021, but it will also celebrate its 7th year in 2020. It will be located at the West Bund Art Center by the Huangpu River.
In 2019, with the opening of the West Bund Art Museum and the five-year cooperation project with the Pompidou Art Center, the West Bund has once again become an "art resort" for punching cards.
Art Basel | Miami Beach exhibition (Art Basel | Miami Beach)
December 3rd-6th
Although the 2019 Miami Basel has just ended for more than a month, the schedule for next year has already been announced. I don’t know if it’s because of the “booming sales” of the VIP preview, or because the two bananas are too strong. People seem to be especially looking forward to whether there will be a famous drama in Miami Beach next year.
maybe, replaced with two apples?
[28 hot art biennials around the world in 2020]
After sorting out the hot art fairs in the world in 2020, our focus on seems to return to a double/three year not for the purpose of money tradingThe purity of the exhibition has come up.
is first and foremost the Venice Architecture Biennale, which alternates with the Venice Biennale.
Venice Architecture Biennale (Venice Architecture Biennale)
May 23-November 29
Like last year's Weishuang, the theme of the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2020 is also very interesting: "How do we live together? "(How will we live together?). According to Hashim Sarkis, curator of the Biennale and dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture, “We need a new kind of spatial concluding”, “in the context of widening political differences and growing economic inequality. , We call on architects to imagine a space where we can live together generously."
It is said that the curator of the American Pavilion already has a plan: to display a timber-framed house made of simple timber in this biennale. They pointed out that in the United States, "the richest and poorest people live in the same building." John F. Kennedy and Beyoncé both live in wooden houses.
São Paulo Biennial (São Paulo Biennial)
September 5th to December 6th
Once upon a time, the São Paulo Biennale was an old-fashioned exhibition that could go hand in hand with the Venice Biennale. But the influence of these years is obviously not as good as some other emerging art fairs.
2020 is the 34th edition of the Sao Paulo Biennale, organized by Sao Paulo curator Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, and will explore the concept of "relation" in the increasingly divided political climate of Brazil. Compared with the political climate, frankly speaking, I personally hope that this large-scale art event in Brazil can focus more on the environmental climate. Especially after experiencing the Amazon forest fires and witnessing the Australian wildfires that have lasted for four months.
This year's Sao Paulo Biennale's exhibition format will be appropriately changed, that is, a series of personal exhibitions will be held before the official opening in September.
In addition, Korea has 3 art biennales to be held this year, which is very lively.
Jeju Biennale (Jeju Biennale) May 2020
Gwangju Biennale (Gwangju Biennale) September 4th-November 29th
Busan Biennale (Busan Biennale) zzzzzzz4 It is the more influential Gwangju Biennale.
The theme of the 13th Gwangju Biennale in 2020 is "Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning". The exhibition, curated by Defne Ayas and Natasha Ginwala, explores the co-evolution of the world and technology, and the possibility of developing new forms of intelligence through global networks, bizarre technologies and public survival models.
We are experiencing the era of smart explosion. However, many questions still cannot be answered with intelligence: Where can I find organic intelligence? To what extent can it be caught up by the human brain and heart?
Obviously, the theme of the Gwangju Biennale is always a bit serious, while the theme of the Busan Biennale feels a bit more lively: "youthfulness, openness and dynamism" (young, open and full of vitality).
is like the current global art expo
emerges endlessly, serious and lively.
