Taipei Dangdai 2025 Returns this May
The sixth edition of Taipei Dangdai, presented by UBS, will take place at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, from 9 – 11 May 2025 (VIP Preview 8 May).
This year, the fair will partner with the Ministry of Culture, Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government to showcase Taiwan’s vibrant art and culture. Hans Ulrich Obrist, one of the most influential curators and cultural thinkers of our time, will visit Taiwan for an unmissable intellectual lecture in April.
For the first time in 2025, a prize will be awarded to an outstanding artist participating in the Edge sector. An international jury consisting of leading curators and thinkers will meet at Taipei Dangdai to carefully view the work of all artists exhibiting in the Edge sector, and will award the winning artist at a ceremony on Friday 9 May 2025 during Taipei Dangdai’s Professional Day, a time for networking between curators, critics, scholars, and other art professionals alongside participating artists and galleries.
As an important nexus for contemporary art in East Asia, the fair offers a vital meeting point for regional and international collectors to explore the city’s vibrant art scene and thriving art market.
Taipei Dangdai is part of The Art Assembly, an affiliation of three major international art fairs with a particular focus on the Asia Pacific region comprising Taipei Dangdai, ART SG and Tokyo Gendai. It represents a joint initiative between three of the world’s leading art fair organisers headed by Sandy Angus, Tim Etchells and Magnus Renfrew.
First Release tickets to Taipei Dangdai 2025 are on sale now for a limited time only. Book now and save.
