Billy Tang has left Para Site, the Hong Kong art centre where he has been executive director for two years.
Tang’s programme continues into September, with his last show featuring the work of Bangkok-based Pratchaya Phinthong. Deputy Director Junni Chen will steer the organisation until the vacancy is filled.
In an email signed personally, Tang gave no reason for his departure, merely saying that ‘while this decision wasn’t easy, I believe in the importance of growth and embracing new directions.’
Tang expanded Para Site in 2023, taking over the 12th-floor of its address in Hong Kong’s Quarry Bay district, in addition to its mainstay premises on the 22nd-floor.
