"Kong Lingyi emphasized that her new role means taking on greater responsibility, stating, 'UCCA is not only a public platform for art education, but also one of the narrators of China's contemporary art history.' She highlighted the need for a shift in perspective from executor to manager, focusing on sustainable development."
"Kong articulated the institution's mission, saying, 'Our mission—to bring the best in art to a wider audience—remains unchanged.' She expressed the importance of ensuring UCCA's health and direction for the future."
Philip Tinari stepped down as director and CEO of UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, with Kong Lingyi appointed as the new CEO. This leadership change marks a significant moment for the institution, which has influenced China's contemporary art scene for two decades. Kong, who has been with UCCA since 2012, aims to enhance the institution's role in art education and historical narration. Her focus will be on sustainable development and maintaining the mission of broadening art access to audiences.
