Catch performances throughout the evening, hear a special DJ set, explore large-scale artworks in Installation Contemporary, and of course see and buy works of art by over 400 emerging and established artists across 85+ galleries.

Performance Contemporary

HOSSEI, a multidisciplinary artist with Persian, Turkish, and Russian ancestry, presented two performances of his major work ESSSENSSSE. The performance, featuring ten performers and a vibrant installation, is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability. ESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE is the next morning, the BODY, MIND, SPIRIT after a big night, looking at the sea for new beginnings.
