Hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

The Curatorial Roundtable, an international forum for curators and institutional leaders to discuss formative and current projects, is hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Billy Tang is the Artistic Director of the new London-based non-profit Yan Du Project (YDP), a “laboratory” space for new forms of artistic community, experimentation, and institutional dialogue, dedicated to Asian and Asian diaspora artists. A prominent curator and writer known for his work with art institutions in the UK, Mainland China, and Hong Kong, Tang built a reputation for championing mid-career and emerging artists, and for rethinking exhibition-making as experimental, living processes rather than static displays. His practice focuses on advancing diversity and amplifying the voices of historically marginalized artists from the Asia Pacific region—a focus informed by his personal history as the son of Vietnamese refugees who settled in the UK; an experience of migration, displacement, and diasporic identity. Previously, Tang served as Executive Director and Curator of Para Site in Hong Kong. He has also held senior curatorial roles at the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai and the artist-run Magician Space in Beijing. His writing has appeared in numerous periodicals, including ArtAsiaPacific, Leap, and Mousse.
