One of the most exciting aspects of this year's fair is the BMW Art of the Journey prize, which awards an artist from the Discovery sector the opportunity to create a year-long itinerary that can take them around the globe. "The BMW Art Journey provides emerg- ing artists with a moving studio," explains Ooi. "The opportunity to travel, discover, and learn meaningfully engages with the process of an artist's development and growth." Other highlights of the show include the expanded Film sector and noted Japanese sculptor Tatsuo Miyajima's large-scale light installa- tion Time Waterfall that will grace the exterior of the International Commerce Center, which commissioned the grand work along with ABHK. Still, as every aspect of the fair complements every other, Ooi advises to take it all in. "Be open-minded and ready to make connections," she says.
