AAA's booth at Art Basel in Hong Kong, Women Make Art History, seeks to provoke discussion about women in art. For their first new project in East Asia, the Guerrilla Girls examine the status of women at Art Basel itself and in the Hong Kong art world. Their installation at the AAA booth deploys their signature blend of humour, bold graphics, and statistics culled from online and published sources to call viewers to action, and invites them to contribute with their own observations.
Also on display is a selection of highlights from AAA's Collection and research projects, focusing on the autonomous women's movement in India in the late 1970s and 1980s; the Pakistan-based artist Salima Hashmi; portraits of women artists in China taken by art historian and curator Joan Lebold Cohen; and exhibitions of women artists from across Asia in the 1990s and 2000s, as represented by their catalogues.
