Chinese artist Zhou Tao has won the first Han Nefkens Foundation-BACC Award for Contemporary Art.
As part of the award, announced last week, the 37-year-old will spend two to three months in Bangkok and develop an art project for the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. He will also be given US$3,000 (90,800 baht).
