TMS interview
Marina Peline’s interview with Andreas von Buddenbrock, a.k.a. “The Ink Trail”, for TMS (The Mills Source), 2022.

“A new artists collective plans to exhibit wherever will give them free space and sell work at whatever price the artists want as Hong Kong’s art market becomes increasingly high-end and pushes out those just starting out. Hong Kong-born Pete Ross and Marc Allante, who both left professional jobs to pursue full-time careers as artists, decided to set up the Hong Kong Arts Collective earlier this year as a platform to give artists more control. The collective is open to all local artists regardless of whether they have gallery representation. To stay nimble and keep costs down, the collective appeals to property developers to provide discounted, temporary space for pop-up exhibitions. Its inaugural group exhibition is currently being held at The Nate, a new serviced apartment block in Kowloon’s Jordan area with retail space that has yet to be let.”…
