Hosted by Cusson Cheng, Para Site Project Manager/Assistant Curator

As part of the public programmes for ‘Noble Rot’ Part Two, Para Site has organised three virtual artist sharing sessions live on Zoom, where participating artists share their practices, focusing on the works they contributed to the exhibition. The second session will be a conversation with artists Ice Wong Kei Suet, Wong Pak Hang, and Jennifer Yue Yuen Yu. Encompassing performance, video, and interactive installation, the new commissions by the three artists each interrogates the performativity and the labour of the body. The session will be moderated by Cusson Cheng, one of the four organisers of the exhibition.

Ice Wong Kei Suet

Ice Wong Kei Suet (b. 1995 in Hong Kong) obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2018. By examining her personal experience in time and space, she takes the interconnectedness of nature and humans as her point of departure, working mainly with installation, live art, video, and drawing.

Wong expresses himself through digital and 2D mixed media, including photography, video, painting, and installation. His work is related to contemporary city life. He believes art can represent humanistic concerns, pointing outwards towards civilization, and inwards towards fundamental humanity. Recently, he has been shortlisted for the 24th ifva Awards (Media Arts category), Young Talent of the Affordable Art Fair, and was selected by the New Light Exhibition Scheme of Lumenvisum.
