Chong Kim Chiew Malaysian, b. 1975
Biography
Chong Kim Chiew is a graduate (BFA, Oil Painting) of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art. Chong is an artist and curator who enjoys the openness of art language. Working across different mediums, methods and paradigms, he believes the most critical actor in contemporary art is “attitude”. His installation work comments on the social and political environment of exhibition sites. Seeing the meaning of materials as linked to the environment, Chong regards materials as being non-static but constantly fluctuating, expanding outwards and prone to misreading. Chong recently participated in APT10 (The 10th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art; 2022) and the 2022 Busan Biennale. His work is collected by the Singapore Art Museum and Queensland Art Gallery.
