Gillman Barracks finally opened last Friday with a big party that attracted a crowd of Southeast Asian artists and collectors who had made the trip to see what all the brouhaha was about. With 13 galleries opening their doors on the same night, there was certainly plenty to see, and flat shoes were a requirement to cover the rather spread out new art hub. Some galleries decided to showcase the wide variety of artists they represent giving viewers a -- sometimes too diffuse -- taster of things to come, while others dived in with solo exhibitions or shows arranged around more tightly curated themes.
