ArtHK 10 just finished from May 27 to 30. In the third year, the fair included various international contemporary artists and those who are seeking new markets. Hong Kong has become an attractive destination for European and Asian galleries to organize special exhibitions. Hong Kong - the world’s third largest art fair - showed more of its cultural than commercial side.

Following are the artworks that appeared in The 10 Art Week Things to See by Weekend Journal Asia.

Tabaimo Art HK, Singapore Tyler Print Institute booth

Tabaimo

Tabaimo A 'wallpaper' by Tabaimo

Tabaimo, a 35-year-old artist based in Nagano— her legal name is Ayako Tabata—is known for her fine-line drawings and her animation. Her work is sometimes described as creepy and disturbing. At Chanel's Mobile Art show in Hong Kong two years ago, her video installation "At the Bottom," which viewers peered down on after climbing some steps so they could see into the "well," featured larger-than-life projections of indiscriminate insects in black and white. Crawly. At the art fair this year, this fast-rising multimedia star is getting her own show at the booth of the Singapore Tyler Print Institute, which often features important Asian contemporary artists such as Indonesia's Agus Suwage and China's Qiu Zhijie, as well as established American artists such as Donald Sultan and Ashley Bickerton. STPI has priced the Tabaimo works at the fair between $10,000 and $30,000. One of the pieces on display will be "skinspots," a series inspired by the stress-induced eczema the artist suffers from, a condition she likens to having insects crawl under her skin. In the works she created on cream-colored papers, round holes reveal fragments of insect drawings—butterflies and flies among them. Less crawly—her line drawings here are more akin to a naturalist's lithographs.

Keitai Girl Around town

Noriko Yamaguchi 'Keitai Girl' with her troupe in Paris

Japanese performance artist Noriko Yamaguchi's alter ego is "Keitai Girl" (mobile-phone girl), a white-faced female who poses, dances and marches while clad in a bodysuit covered with cellphone keypads. The artist's playful yet pointed work as Keitai Girl—presented in real life as well as in drawings, videos, prints and photographs—grapples with sexual politics, identity and the man-vs.-machine paradox in the iPad age. A graduate of Kyoto University of Art and Design, the 27-year-old artist from Kobe is part of an emerging generation of Japanese performance artists whose fresh yet carefully choreographed work has attracted critical scrutiny and praise. Bart Dekker, founder of artinasia.com and an Asian art collector, helped organize her visit to Hong Kong along with MEM, the Osaka gallery that represents Ms. Yamaguchi. MEM will have a booth at the fair, where there will be Keitai Girl photos for sale, priced at about $2,500 each. But the real-life version is the thing to see. Keitai Girl will be making small-scale, invitation-only appearances at the Kee Club (dates not yet announced at press time), and a performance at the fair's vernissage—the invitation-only opening night of Art HK 10—on May 26. But you might catch Keitai Girl, and the similarly attired troupe of girls that often accompanies her, on Hong Kong streets. "Any time during the week, the Keitai Girls may march through the streets of Hong Kong," says Mr. Dekker. That's what they did in Paris two years ago: During an international photography show there in 2008, Keitai Girl and her retinue caused a stir by parading along the city's thoroughfares in full costume.

Ai Weiwei and Acconci Studio Para/Site Art Space, Sheung Wan

Ai Weiwei and Acconci Studio

This is not your usual art exhibition. Let's call it an art "happening." What makes it worth mentioning are the artists involved: Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei, of Beijing's Olympic "Bird's Nest" stadium fame, and Vito Acconci, an American architect and installation artist who pioneered performance and video art in the 1970s. Separate from Art HK, the Sheung Wan District gallery Para/Site Art Space has been hosting a "conversation" between Mr. Ai, 52 (with the beard), and Mr. Acconci, 70, since April. On three mornings during art week, the public will get a chance to eavesdrop and even participate. The talks will continue through July 4. Those three exchanges between the artists—about how they work, about Hong Kong, about cities—will begin at 9 a.m. on May 26, 27 and 28, with Mr. Ai talking via Skype from Beijing with Mr. Acconci at his Acconci Studio in Brooklyn. They will be aired live in the Sheung Wan gallery, which also will display 128 photos that document the time the pair spent together in Hong Kong in mid-April.

The work of emerging Japanese artist

Noriko Yamaguchi

Exploring technology, mythology and feminism through bodily transformation and endurance, Yamaguchi camouflages her body with a variety of striking materials to create a second skin, a visual spectacle that was a highlight of the Fair.
