Thursday, May 7th:
Australian Chamber of Commerce
seminar: "Oil & Gold - powerful pivots and Timely turns"
Lucky Building
Oil and Gold
Powerful pivots and timely turns: Outlook for 2009-2015
Evening Session: Thursday 7 May 2009 with David Bensimon, Polar Pacific
Join AustCham for this unique and informative session by leading expert David Bensimon, award-winning author, acclaimed forecaster, hedge-fund manager and one of the more unusual market watchers and trend interpreters. The last time Mr Bensimon presented a seminar in Hong Kong was in March of 2007 so let’s see how right his predictions were.
Mr. Bensimon is a lively speaker and you will be presented with some remarkable charts covering the historical trends plus short-term and long-term outlooks for the markets of gold and oil. Our speaker will explain the patterns and relationships in the waves, cycles, ratios, and channels, and also provide specific price and time forecasts in the context of both fundamental and technical considerations.
This engaging presentation will be useful for traders, investors, fund managers, strategists, analysts, and other professionals at banks, brokers, and institutions in commodity markets.
Our speaker, David Bensimon is the Principal of Polar Pacific Pty Ltd - an Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) licensed advisory firm who graduated in 1988 with multiple national awards and top of his class specialising in finance at university in Canada. He has since had 20 years of experience with interbank, exchange-floor, and proprietary trading across foreign exchange, interest rate, equity index, and commodity markets. His institutional career at top-tier global investment banks in Europe for a decade included positions of chief dealer, head of trading, and chief of staff; and he also spent a year on the floor of a major Asian futures exchange.
For the past decade Mr. Bensimon has published his forecasts of global markets with well-documented precision via his Australia-based consulting firm, Polar Pacific. The Special Edition of his book, Polar Perspectives, has been honoured with two gold medals at international competitions. His in-depth monthly series, PolarView, has consistently predicted key turning points for major markets, including correctly calling exact volatile movements in 2008.
A sought-after speaker at conferences and seminars around the world for his compelling analysis and dynamic delivery, Mr. Bensimon is often invited to share his views in the financial media. His latest project, Polarcap Prosperity, is a Singapore-registered investment fund.

ART HK 09 Hong Kong International Art Fair / 14-17 May 2009
...will return to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 14-17 May 2009, with Vernissage opening on 13 May.
Following the success of the inaugural event last year, ART HK has emerged as the leading art fair in Asia. ART HK presents an unparalleled opportunity to see some of the freshest and most exciting work being produced around the world today, alongside modern masters from the 20th century.
ART HK 09 will once again bring together over 110 of the world's most celebrated international galleries from 24 countries, building on Hong Kong's long established reputation as the gateway between East and West. This year SCMP | ART FUTURES will be a new section dedicated to solo and two-artist presentations from young galleries focusing on emerging artists.
In addition, visitors can attend daily talks by artists and collectors organised by the Asia Art Archive. For those new to looking at art, introductory guided tours can be arranged.

Asia Art Archive's Backroom conversations: http://www.aaa.org.hk/event_detail.aspx?event_id=12907
PANEL DISCUSSION – Reinvesting in Contemporary Chinese Art
Friday 15th May| Room N106
4.00 – 6.00 pm | Johnson CHANG, Curator, 3rd Guangzhou Triennale & Director, Hanart TZ Gallery | HU Fang, Director, Vitamin Creative Space | QIU Anxiong, Artist | Uli SIGG Collector | Pauline YAO, Critic & Curator | Moderated by Philip TINARI, Critic & Curator
As we witness global recession hit, the relation of Chinese art to the global economy becomes more evident with galleries and individuals having to reassess their financial strategies and positions. On the flip side, we see the emergence of voices who welcome this correction in the market as an opportunity for ideas, quality and content to be nurtured over prices, commodity and spectacle. We ask key individuals in the field to reflect on the past decade, discuss the future of art production and circulation in China, and talk about the projects that excite them.
PANEL DISCUSSION - MUSEUM FOCUS
Saturday 16th May| Room N106
In light of major museum projects in Hong Kong and the region, AAA continues to consider issues raised at last year’s conference on the museum, this year, taking as our point of departure themes prevalent in contemporary art.
2.00 – 4.15pm | Art + Design
Ron ARAD, Founder, Ron Arad Studio | Defne AYAS, Co-Director of programme, Arthub | Lim Geun-jun Art and Design critic| Michael LIN, Artist | SIU King-chung, Assistant Professor, School of Design, HK Polytechnic University | Moderated by Charles MEREWETHER, Director 2006 Sydney Biennale
In recent years, the region has seen an increasing number of exhibitions exploring the crossover of art and design. As Hong Kong embarks on building M+, questions as to how to approach the interdisciplinary are raised. For this panel discussion we look at the ways in which the bridging of art and design are manifesting themselves; whether we need a new vocabulary to discuss the topic; and how museum strategies consider these recent developments.
