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.

This "Decade One: Chronolect" exhibition stands as a milestone connecting past and future. The Central space will bring together fifteen artists of international influence, using diverse media to outline the ecosystem of contemporary art. The participating lineup spans creative lineages across multiple generations: from internationally renowned pioneers such as Yue Minjun, Huang Yongping, Yang Jiechang, and Zhu Jinshi, to mid-career representatives including Qin Qi, Cai Lei, Wu Yi, Wang Du, and Zhao Zhao, and further to the highly anticipated emerging forces Xiyao Wang and Leng Guangmin. The selection also encompasses international artists who transcend cultural boundaries—from Jonas Burgert, a profound thinker of German contemporary painting, and Spanish conceptual realist Edgar Plans, to Filipino cross-cultural practitioner Jigger Cruz and one of Indonesia’s most internationally acclaimed contemporary artists, Heri Dono. The juxtaposition of these fifteen artists gives form to the "Chronolect" – a unique vocabulary of time shaped by a decade of practice. We are not only gathering the artistic brilliance of the past decade but also converging a stellar spectrum that crosses geography and generations. The exhibition is not merely a retrospective of past achievements but hopes, through these powerful works, to reflect a facet of the development of contemporary art from both Hong Kong and a global perspective, heralding a prospective view of the next artistic decade.
