Veteran Chinese curator Pi Li<\/span> will step down as head of art at Tai Kwun when his three-year contract expires in February 2026, the Hong Kong heritage and arts centre has confirmed.<\/div>\n

Pi declined a request for an interview, but sources have told the Post that he is going to play a leading role in the founding of a new art museum in Shenzhen.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old moved to Hong Kong in 2012 to become the senior curator in charge of the Sigg Collection of Chinese art at M+ museum<\/span>.<\/div>\n

Born in Wuhan, in mainland China, Pi followed in the footsteps of his father, the well-known art historian Pi Daojian, and began his career as a scholar and curator in Beijing, later co-founding Boers-Li Gallery. He left M+ after 11 years to join Tai Kwun, succeeding Tobias Berger as the head of its contemporary art programmes.<\/p>\n

Tai Kwun, which is operated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club<\/span>, has yet to name Pi\u2019s successor, though it adds that the search is in its \u201cfinal phases\u201d.<\/div>\n
