Affordable is a word that doesn’t easily match with Sydney, and yet access is a key vision on the horizon for incoming Director of Artspace, Victor Wang 王宗孚.

Relocating from the international art hub of Beijing in China, where Wang has served as the Executive and Artistic Director of the multidimensional, private museum M WOODS Museum for the past five years, he describes Sydney as “an nexus.”

“We’re in a time when many institutions are under pressure,” says Wang. “I think globally, there’s a real demand for artistic space of experimentation – for affordable space, not just housing, but for studios. What an incredible gift to have 10 rent free studios embedded within an institution.”
