philip tinari leaves ucca beijing hong kong tai kwun 1234769464

Philip Tinari is leaving his role as director and CEO of UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing after 14 years to become deputy director and head of art at Tai Kwun Culture & Arts in Hong Kong, starting February 23. He succeeds curator Pi Li, whose contract expires in February. Tinari oversaw UCCA's transition to a nonprofit museum in 2018 and its expansion with three new venues, including UCCA Dune, UCCA Edge, and UCCA Clay, while organizing major exhibitions of artists such as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Cao Fei, and Anicka Yi.

Chinese museum visitors accuse artist Heman Chong of ‘cyber harassment’

A group of Chinese museum visitors has filed a formal complaint against Singapore-based artist Heman Chong, accusing him of cyber harassment. The visitors allege that Chong reposted their selfies from his exhibition "The Endless Summer" at UCCA Dune on his Instagram account with captions that mocked them for narcissism and appropriating his work. The complaint cites China's portrait rights law, which prohibits using recognizable images of individuals without consent, and also accuses Chong of gender-based targeting for only reposting images of women. The visitors demand a formal apology from Chong and joint action from UCCA Dune and the Aranya resort.
