Tang Fu Kuen is prolific on the global art stage, actively crossing between live performance and visual fields. He instigates cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia, in both public and independent spheres, in the innovation of traditional-contemporary practices and art-science-tech collaborations that bridge history, nature and human consciousness. 

As a driven arts leader, festival-maker, curator, producer and dramaturg, Fu Kuen has enabled numerous inter-media and inter-cultural collaborations and commissions. He was AD and MD of BIT - Bergen International Theatre (Norway); AD of Taipei Arts Festival (Taiwan); and has guest-curated notable platforms, amongst them: TPAM (Japan), Indonesian Dance Festival, Exodos Festival (Slovenia), In-Transit Festival (Berlin). In 2026, he will curate 2 platforms in Copenhagen and Oslo. 

At 53rd Venice Biennale, Fu Kuen was sole curator of artist Ming Wong for the Singapore Pavilion that won a Special Jury Mention, hitherto the highest recognition for the nation. In 2015, he curated ‘Art Next Door’, the SG50 exhibition that commemorated Malaysia-Singapore bilateral relations. In 2022, he guest-curated ‘REFUSE’, a large-scale bio-art installation that inaugurated the new space of Singapore Art Museum@TPD. 

As dramaturg and producer, Fu Kuen has been instrumental in enabling the artistic development of Pichet Klunchun, Eisa Jocson, Choy Ka Fai, Daniel Kok, and continues to mentor the young generation in the Asian context. 

Fu Kuen worked previously in the heritage institutions UNESCO HQ (Paris) and SEAMEO-SPAFA (Bangkok) on policy implementation, research and development. As a Raffles-Chevening scholar, he received his MA (Distinction) in Media & Communications from Goldsmiths University of London, after graduating English Literature and Theatre Studies (BA Honours) at the National University of Singapore on a Public Service Commission scholarship.
