For a second year running, ArtAsiaPacific hosted a series of Guerilla Talks live from the booth at Art HK in late May. Joining us in short, casual conversation, were over 30 artists, curators, collectors, museum directors, archivists and architects, offering a window into the diverse practices and interests that can intersect at such events now. 
On day one, the talks got underway with New Delhi-based artist Subodh Gupta, who spoke to managing editor Olivier Krischer about how the everyday can become monumental “automatically,” and about the ritual nature of objects and practices in his work—where the everyday can include a piece of dough, used in the ubiquitous street foods of his home country, through to the packing of a Jeff Koons “puppy” sculpture he encountered at a friend’s house by chance.
