Seventeen years inside the art world — not observing it from a distance, but moving through it. Auction houses, storage rooms, biennales, collector’s homes. Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Africa, Switzerland.

Much of what gets written about art in Asia misses something essential. The real story is more layered, more personal, and far more interesting than the official version.

I study how art moves through the world — who claims it, who loses it, what gets remembered and what disappears. My doctoral research at HKUST developed a new framework for understanding the collector in contemporary East Asia, moving beyond Western models toward something that reflects how culture actually gets negotiated here.

That research never really ended. It just kept expanding.

In 2025 I co-founded Modern Athenaeum. In 2026 I was named an Archives Residency Fellow by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. A chapter on trauma, memory, and Gwangju is now available  in The Routledge Companion to Art Biennials.

Based in Hong Kong. Always in motion.

If something here resonates with you — a project, a question, an idea still taking shape — I would love to hear from you. All conversations are welcome.
