Tang Contemporary Art is proud to announce to celebrate the tenth anniversary of our Hong Kong space, we are presenting a large-scale group exhibition "Decade One: Chronolect" from December 18, 2025, to January 31, 2026, at both of our Central and Wong Chuk Hang spaces. The exhibition's title, "Chronolect" – a lexicon of time – captures the distinct artistic language developed over this inaugural decade. The exhibition aims to focus on the most precious gains in artistic practice—namely, "accumulation and growth"—connecting the iterative evolution of the artists' works, the gallery's and collectors' explorations within the industry, and the unwavering adherence to their original aspirations.

Since taking root in Central in 2015, the space has borne the academic accumulation of nearly 100 exhibitions, becoming a vital bridge connecting Chinese contemporary art with global dialogue. The second Hong Kong space was established in Wong Chuk Hang in 2023, focusing primarily on pan-international projects with young artists, interspersed with group and solo exhibitions featuring artists from Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and Japan.

In the Wong Chuk Hang space, showcases seven voices of international resonance including, Etsu Egami dissolving language into prismatic veils of misheard faces, Hao Zecheng exhaling blurred photographs until streetlamps ignite as silent fireworks, Yoon Hyup letting the city improvise through his wrist in endless vibrating lines, Kitti Narod suspending strangers and animals in the soft gravity of kindness, Jade Ching-yuk Ng painting the trembling half-inch of air between almost-touching bodies, Nishi Yukari staging a borrowed American dream inside faceless Japanese dolls, and Meguru Yamaguchi assassinating the rectangle to set the brushstroke free converge across continents, generations, and media to sketch the living ecosystem of contemporary painting. Alexander Skats reframes digital imagery into a vibrant critique of consumption, beckoning viewers to reevaluate beauty in the modern world, while August Vilella’s surreal intuitions craft dreamlike narratives with whimsical characters that invite introspection through their expressive gazes. Yu Xuan juxtaposes the charm and monotony of contemporary life, layering animal imagery over designed objects to form a strange aesthetic that mirrors society’s complexities. Their juxtaposition gives visible form to the “Chronolect”: a private dialect of time forged across one decade of restless practice. This is not a retrospective, but a single shared breath; ten irreconcilable tongues speaking the same urgent future, reflecting the pulse of contemporary art from Hong Kong to the world and heralding, in trembling pigment, the shape of the decade yet to come.
