ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kay Mei Ling Beadman is an artist, researcher and co-founder of artist-run initiative Hidden Space. She uses her Chinese and English mixed race to explore aspects of complex dual identity formation, focusing on embodied aspects of lived experience amid socio-politically and culturally constructed assumptions. Her practice is multidisciplinary and includes installation, video, painting and text. She has a BFA from Reading University, UK, an MFA from RMIT, Australia and is currently a PhD candidate at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. Kay was born in England, and zigzagged between Hong Kong and the UK growing up, but has lived and worked permanently in Hong Kong since 1999. She has exhibited in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Serbia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and the UK.
Moses Tan (b.1986) is an artist interested in histories that intersect with queer theory and politics while looking at melancholia and shame as points of departure. He has exhibited in Grey Projects (SG), Hidden Space (HK), 1a Space (HK), Indiana University (US), Sabanci University (TR), 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (SYD) and recently at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art The Lab (SG).
