Caroline Ha Thuc
Caroline Ha Thuc is a French curator and art writer, writing for Art Press magazine in France and contributing to several publications in Hong Kong.
Specialized in Asian art, Ha Thuc spent two years in Japan and published a book about post-Murakami contemporary Japanese art (Nouvel Art Contemporain Japonais - in French). In 2011 she moved to Hong Kong, interviewing the artists and visiting their studios in an attempt to put back their practice in the very specific context of the territory. Her book Contemporary Art in Hong Kong (published by Nouvelles Editions Scala and Asia One) aims at providing essential keys to apprehend the city’s vibrant contemporary landscape and at exposing the countless links between history, culture and identity.
Caroline Ha Thuc just published a new book about contemporary art in China, analysing by themes the artworks produced after 2000(After 2000 : Contemporary Art In China published in French by Nouvelles Editions Scala), and simultaneously continues fostering dialogues between Western and Asian art through her writings and curated shows.
