During the 2018 Longines Masters, Asia’s premier equestrian event, we organized two groundbreaking exhibitions. The first being one of New York City’s longest running photography exhibitions titled ‘The Wild Horses of Sable Island’ by Roberto Dutesco. And the other being the world’s first travelling augmented reality fine art photography exhibition titled ‘Love Is Wild’, which showcased the plight of endangered species and was created by Sean Lee-Davies.

The Streets of Hong Kong exhibition was co-hosted by Awethentic Gallery and our sister company, Awethentic Studio. It was inspired by the urban landscapes and essence of 21st century Hong Kong, and it celebrated the city’s cutting edge artistic and photographic talent.The exhibition showcased works from Wing Shya, Szabotage, Teddy Lo, David Elliot, Frank Freeman, Nick Denambride, Samantha Li and Sean Lee Davies, all of whom have captured the city’s urban elements in unique ways. Through this exhibition we worked to shine a light on Hong Kong’s ever-growing artistic community and also promote Hong Kong as a leading global creative hub.

The official exhibition of Awethentic Gallery’s Love Is Wild photo collection, this was showcased in Hong Kong and became the world’s first ever travelling augmented reality fine art exhibition. All of the images were shot by environmental advocate and entrepreneur Sean Lee-Davies, and documented the plight of endangered species in Asia and Africa, in a bid to raise funds for conservation.The photo collection harnessed the power of celebrity and featured the likes of Jennifer Tse, Gaile Lok, Mia Kang, Jocelyn and Anthony Sandstrom, up close with some of the world’s most magnificent animals. The collection worked to redefine the relationship between human and animal, showcasing people not as conquerors of nature, but instead as conscientious cohabitants.This exhibition was organised by Project C:CHANGE, hosted at Liang Yi Museum and Galerie Huit, and sponsored by Entourage | Concierge and Sony.
