Chan + Hori Contemporary has pivoted from being a commercial gallery to a curatorial, advisory and artists’ management business. We focus on three main services of content curation, project management and artist management. As a specialist in contemporary art curation, we are a developer of creative audience engagement strategies and an experienced exhibition-maker. We work in formats that best meet the needs of artists and our clients. These include pop-up exhibitions and festivals in venues around Southeast Asia or further afield; collaborative engagements with museums, art centres and overseas galleries, and immersion and education programmes for executives.
