About

Taylor Cheng is a London-based curator and writer from Hong Kong, passionate about relational practice and broadening perspectives on seeing and thinking, through her experimental curatorial approaches.

During her MFA studies, Taylor developed a performative curatorial approach focused on social reformation to cultivate more equitable relationships among artists, curators, collaborators, and the public. She also experimented with alternatives of project documentation to encapsulate the essence, site-specificity, and process of an art project. Concurrently, she explored a new approach to exhibition-making, curating an installation-like display that featured two independent artworks coexisting within the same physical space, in order to examine the notion of coexistence and challenge the viewing experience.

Her MFA curatorial project From Here to There was presented at Public Art Inside Out symposium on 8th May 2024 in Milan co-organised by Getty Conservation Institute and MUDEC.
