Episode 33 meets Xiaoyu Weng, a prolific and pioneering curator. From her early career working with Kadist to build their contemporary Asian art collection, to her time as an associate curator at the Guggenheim and then onto to leading the modern and contemporary art department at the Art Gallery of Ontario, she has developed interdisciplinary programming centred on new ways to conceive a globalised world and to consider its attendant challenges.
Last year, Xiaoyu became the inaugural artistic director of the Tanoto Art Foundation. Based in Singapore and founded by Belinda Tanoto, the not for profit sees itself as a connector that will bring together Southeast Asia’s arts communities and nurture dialogues beyond. The Foundation has plans for a range of activities including exhibitions, international collaborations, research and publications. I spoke to Xiaoyu just after she had launched their first public symposium in a theatre at Singapore’s School of the Arts.
