For a second year running, ArtAsiaPacific hosted a series of Guerrilla 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 intersect at such events today.

On day 2 of AAP’s Guerrilla Talks, editor at large HG Masters held a lively exchange with artist Michael Joo and his friend Philippe Vergne, director of Dia Art Foundation in New York City. Together they discussed Joo’s career spanning more than nearly two decades, where Vergne described the artist’s work as a “confluence of science, daily ritual, religion and history.” Joo’s latest work can be seen in the 2012 edition of the Gwangju Biennale entitled “Roundtable,” which opens today.
