Beijing-based editor and curator Philip Tinari has been appointed as director of the Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art (UCCA), replacing outgoing director Jerome Sans. Tinari has been a part of the Chinese scene for a decade, working as a curator, editor, writer and translator and he is currently the editor of LEAP, a bilingual contemporary culture magazine published by China's Modern Media group.
Tinari's appointment is a signal that the UCCA is committed to staying in China, putting an end to the rumours that have been circulating since Guy and Miriam Ullens decided to sell a major part of their collection of Chinese contemporary art earlier this year.
