Contemporary Art Fairs scheduled for

– 2023 –

as those who frequent would-know: Korea Expat BLog has been the authority on sharing up-to-date calendars on on-going international art fairs and major auctions around the Pacific Rim, also haute-counterparts on the Atlantic including Basel. undoubtedly all-in-one one-stop snap-shots onto creative happenings and trends around the Globe. the World has become ever-smaller with the influx of the internet AND airline discounts, but along-side still-enduring classic and post-modern furniture that you have to see-and-touch, you just have to experience artworks and sculpture yourself – even meeting the artist in-person to transcend their soul-karma onto your heart’n’brains. ever-still: wisely selected art is lastingly valuable than bit-coins//

breathing-protection masks aren’t mandatory even in-doors from Lunar NEW Years late January throughout the Utopian Peninsula, where by-now depending on which statistics: two out-of three or nine out-of ten citizens have now-once acquired Covid-19. children mostly pass-on without symptoms, adults go-through flu-like phase over a Week where-as this Corona Virus is still deadly for elders.

*Covid-19 Corona Virus-related foreigners’ travel warning alerted here:

GREEN: almost-none except pre-vaccination (South-Korea has implemented fifth-tier last Winter and citizens carry records in their smart-phones)

YELLOW: pre-vaccination PLUS pre-departure negative test (usually 2-days before).

RED: Quarantine on-arrival OR Self-Control (in a single-person occupancy), usually for a Week.

*check when-you reserve flight and hotels, and again a Month and Week before departure as situations change (although governments announce-early of coming-change); simply searching On-Line “[country] entry requirements” will-do .

post-note : two-characteristics have emerged this-year

nations in the Orient and South-East Asia have-been laxing entry-restrictions into the country, as Corona-Virus has emerged into Earth populace immune-system by March, eventually even WHO announcing the end of COVID-19 as Global Pandemic on May 5th. not-that it is over, but much-lesser deaths and symptoms not-critical to-be administered as seasonal-flu . and for galleries as well-as collectors : the criteria here is that national disease-control do-NOT require vaccine documentation at border-entry nor mandate quarantine on-arrival . so many larger inter-national art fairs began opening-up again in March .
and because fairs have-been re-opening and new-ones instigating – without ample preparation nor responsibility, that some have been deemed “NOT-RECOMMENDED” above, but worthy of-mention since they have been operating pre-COVID or may-improve in coming-years . *this has less to do with show-content (hinted in parantheses) as it is a matter-of personal-taste as the point of such exhibitions is to expose to other cities and countries, than the organizer’s management skills and ViP/Press protocol .
