Pi Li, Head of Art at Hong Kong’s Tai Kwun, will be leaving the institution in February, when his contract expires.
A critic and curator who played a key role promoting and historicising Chinese contemporary, Pi joined Tai Kwun in 2023, coming from M+ where he served the Sigg senior curator from 2012 and later on head of curatorial affairs. Prior to that he taught at Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and cofounded Universal Studio Beijing in 2005, today known as Spurs Gallery.
According to South China Morning Post, Pi will reportedly take up a leadership role in establishing a new art museum in Shenzhen, a mainland city bordering Hong Kong, a region recently named the ‘Greater Bay Area’, joining the technopole’s handful of art museums including the newly opened K11 Hybrid Art and Cultural Centre last March.
