Who We Are

About Us Tang Contemporary Art was founded in Bangkok in 1997 with the entirety of supporting artists with creative and critical art projects. Over the last 27 years, curated exhibitions were based on promoting contemporary art in favor of a more sustainable and solidary ground for art creation and collective learning with the aim to foster more dynamic trans-cultural relationships between the Asian and the International art scenes. Tang Contemporary Art also tailors art projectors for patrons and collectors to engage with art in their respective eco-system. Tang Contemporary Art has recently added an 8th gallery space in the vibrating city of Singapore, alongside Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Seoul, coupled with active participation in annual art fairs like Art Basel Hong Kong, KIAF, Frieze New York, Expo Chicago, The Armory Show, Art Geneve, Taipei Dangdai, Art SG and Masterpiece London. With an unparalleled contribution to the Asian and Chinese contemporary arts and its inclusion in the global art scenes, Tang Contemporary Art aims to create the best conditions for initiating dialogues between artists, curators, collectors, and institutions, as well as for nurturing new methodologies of making of contemporary art histories, promoting emerging young artists, and providing a platform for arts and cultural exchange both locally and internationally. Acting as one of the most progressive galleries in Asia, Tang Contemporary Art represents both the internationally renowned and the emerging, including artists like Adel Abdessemed, Etsu Egami, Gongkan, Jang Koal, Woo Kukwon, Niki de Saint Phalle, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Joana Vasconcelos, Ai Weiwei, Xiyao Wang, Huang Yong Ping, Shen Yuan, Zhao Zhao; artist groups like AES+F, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, and Yangjiang Group.
