The work of Chinese/New Zealand artist Yuk King Tan, now living in Hong Kong, negotiates issues such as value, politics, and cultural systems within a constantly evolving post-colonial society. The meta-themes in the artist’s work unveil interests in cultural delineations, global migration, and a personal relationship to world-defining issues such as value and economy.

Yuk King Tan has had major solo and group exhibitions, most importantly at the Camden Arts Centre in London, Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst in Aachen, Museum Fridericianum in Kassel, Kunstverein in Hamburg, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and Wellington City Gallery, New Zealand, Hong Kong Arts Centre, and Artists Space in New York. She has participated at International Biennials in Queensland, Vilnius, Auckland, and Sao Paulo. Graduated in 1993, Bachelor Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University, New Zealand.
