Market Life: To Live And To Create

‘Living out our lives at the art market’

With his ten-year experience in developing creative art markets, Jerry Yen is here to share his story on the founding and running of a creative company, focusing on the concept of “market life” and his experiences of cultural exchange in cities across Asia and Europe. He will discuss the progress and future of Asian creative art markets, and comment on the ‘Pop up Asia’ market’s possibility of maintaining balance between its emphasis on cultural exchange and its business model. Let us live by doing what we love, and build a generation of art.
