Speaker Biography
Chi-yung WONG, Installation Artist/Artist-Curator
Chi-yung WONG is a cross-disciplinary artist-curator whose work covers experiential installation, light installation, creative education, and cultural exchanges between the arts and sciences. Chi-yung’s specialization in light has led him to create and install exhibitions involving interdisciplinary collaborations across the fields of theatre lighting and architecture lighting.
Chi-yung’s interest in cross-cultural partnerships and his desire to expand his leadership skills have led him in pursuit of various goals on his path to become an artist-curator, such as creating and leading projects between Europe and Hong Kong; fostering communication and collaboration between artists and scientists; developing artistic-initiatives for mental health awareness; and helping to implement creative education proposals for underprivileged teenagers. Since 2016, Chi-yung has lived between Hong Kong and Europe in order to create and curate cultural exchange projects with several European art organizations, such as the Theatre of Liege, Belgium, West Kowloon Cultural Authority, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Zurich University of the Arts, ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Artists-in-Labs Program (Zurich) and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
Since 2007, Chi-yung has been commissioned by numbers of festivals and organizations, including Hong Kong Jockey Club, Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Theatre of Liege, Belgium, Le French May Festival, Consulat Général de France à Hong Kong, agnès b.’s Librairie Galerie Hong Kong and Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation.
