Tang Ying Mui, Grace

Tang graduated with a BA Honors, majoring in fine arts from Goldsmiths College and a MSC from the University of Westminster, United Kingdom. Tang lived in London for more than ten years and is currently working as an artist in Hong Kong.

Tang’s work is devoid of technology, using simple exprssion and material ( from wire and packaging tape to plastic wrapped wire and textile fur) from industry to build up works and explores the fragile condition of human existence, also the external and internal boundaries built around people.

She is currently working on a project called “ A call from a prehistoric time”. She uses the four basic elements in living: clothing, food, shelter and mobility, to explore the contemporary living and structures in society in our modern age.

Tang had her first solo exhibition in 2011, titled “Recycle Destinies”. She has also joined numerous group exhibitions, including “Pusan World Open Art Festival” and “The 7th Gongju International Art Festival 2010” in South Korea ; “Macau Direct Flight Destinations Trade and Cultural Expo” in Macau; “The Thirteen Stories of Portable Art” in Shanghai and “WINDOW PROJECT” in Canada. Her works also have been exhibitied in various spaces in Hong Kong, including the West Kowloon Cultural District, Hong Kong Art Centre, JCCAC and Cattle Depot Artist Village.

Grace Tang’s creative works always draw attention from local media. She has seen coverage by RTHK, SCMP, Ming Pao Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong Economic Times, I-Cable and numerous other media in print and online.

A fulltime artist Tang’s studio is in JCCAC.
