Victor Wang 王宗孚 is the Executive Director of Artspace on Gadigal Country/Sydney and an Adjunct Curator at the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo. Previously, he served as Executive and Artistic Director of M WOODS Museum (2019–2025), where he led its Beijing and Chengdu institutions. Wang’s curatorial practice is shaped by a sustained interest in cultural exchange, performance, and the movement of ideas across geographies. He has curated major collaborative projects with institutions including Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Tate Modern, London; and the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, and was involved in the first collaborative exhibition between the British Museum and a non-state-run art museum in China. In 2025, he curated the first solo exhibition in Japan of British artist Sonia Boyce DBE RA at the Mori Art Museum.
Across China and Asia, Wang has organised numerous landmark exhibitions, including museum surveys of artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ann Veronica Janssens, Martin Margiela, Bruce Nauman, Man Ray, Giorgio Morandi, Richard Tuttle, Haroon Mirza, and Huang Rui, among others. His work has frequently foregrounded dialogue between Asia(s) and the West, as well as the visibility of artists and practices historically underrepresented in European and North American contexts. Wang has a particular focus on performance art. He was curator of Frieze LIVE at Frieze London in 2020 and is the founder of the Institute of Asian Performance Art (IAPA). He is also editor of Performance Histories from East Asia 1960s–90s (DRAF, 2018).
In addition to his curatorial work, Wang writes regularly for international art publications including Artforum, Art Review, and Yishu, and is co-editor of the first Chinese monograph on Bruce Nauman (Tate Publishing / M WOODS, 2024). He has contributed to Phaidon publications including Prime: Art’s Next Generation and Vitamin Txt.
