Jo-ey Tang’s curatorial practice is difficult to describe; words tend to sneak around a corner just as I become aware of their presence. If I had to describe it in three, far from singular ways, I would say Tang's practice embodies slowness, centers artists and their works, and tends to turn host institutions inside out, exposing the internecine and externalized methods and processes of contemporary exhibition-making. Tang began his career as an arts editor for the literary magazine, n+1 and photography editor for Condé Nast before earning his MFA in Studio Art from NYU in 2011. During grad school, he worked as The Notary Public to organize exhibitions and other programs out of his NYC apartment. He would go on to curate exhibitions for Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Beeler Gallery at Columbus College of Art & Design, Columbus (CCAD), and most recently, KADIST in San Francisco, among others.
