David Zwirner was an early supporter of Ocula. Our team recognises the value of Ocula's editorial approach, which provides a Hong Kong perspective on a global art world, while acknowledging other art centers like New York and London. As a gallery platform, Ocula provides a digital space to share our programme with a new, discerning, and expanding audience. JULIA JOERN, PARTNER, DAVID ZWIRNER
An agile, responsive, ideas-led platform, Ocula is regarded highly as an online and real-world publishing portal for foregrounding new initiatives and directions in contemporary art from across the Asia region and elsewhere. With a demonstrated commitment to supporting the authoring of critical editorial content, Ocula engages art world producers and creators to gain a greater understanding from a first person perspectives about convergent approaches to art practice across the sphere's of public, private, commercial, curatorial and artist-led sectors. By designing content into an accessible online and print-publication format, and providing unique space for longer-format interviews, Ocula connects the pioneering ideas and spaces for contemporary art that are leading our understanding of the ways in which artist are working today, and invites art-interested audiences to engage with them.

Unlike other art platforms where enquiries are sent to us, and our responses are virtually always unacknowledged, Ocula prequalifies and mediates our sales enquiries. As a consequence, we save time and sales leads are generally more focused and serious. SPRÜTH MAGERS, BERLIN, LONDON, LOS ANGELES
Ocula is a great platform to introduce many international artists to art professionals and the general public. The online platform today acts as a powerful communications tool to swiftly engage global followers with a wealth of knowledge, while remaining receptive to each user's needs. Taking the laudable, but still necessary step beyond is manifest in Ocula Conversations, which illuminates artists at the core of their practice through their quality, in-depth editorial for a well-informed audience. KUKJE GALLERY, SEOUL
Ocula does the hard work of interviewing key practitioners throughout the field of contemporary art, and the harder work of compiling the most lasting of these interviews, each year, into a printed book. Now in its second edition, this book is akin to an almanac of the artistic conversation, a lasting document of the mood of contemporary art at a given moment. It has been a privilege to be involved in producing publications with such depth and personality.
