The BMW Art Journey is a joint initiative of Art Basel and BMW that offers artists an opportunity to undertake a journey of creative discovery to a destination of their own choosing. Like a mobile studio, the BMW Art Journey can take an artist to almost anywhere in the worldto establish contacts, to forge perspectives, to envision and create new work. The BMW Art Journey is open to artists exhibited in the Discoveries sector of Art Basel in Hong Kong. In conjunction with the launch of the initiative, 2015 saw the publication of The Sense of Movement: When Artists Travel (Hatje Cantz), with examples of works by traveling artists in the past as an opener to a series of publications documenting the travels and projects of the BMW Art Journey recipients. Max Hooper Schneiders (*1982, Los Angeles) Art Journey is a maritime exploration of coral reefs around the globe. He investigates reef systems from the Bikini Atoll to the Fukushima disaster reef in Japan, from Lake Baikal in Russia to the coast of Madagascar to produce a diverse narrative around them.
