Angela Chong

Installation Artist

Graduated with Master of Arts Fine Arts, Singapore/Goldsmiths, installation artist Angela Chong has been creating fictional realities in her installations. Using light projections with found objects to present the presence of absence in dark enclosures, she entices her audience to question the emotional attachments between the object and its owner, in the context of personal history and site-specific darkness.

​

A recipient of NAC scholarship (Postgraduate), she is currently investigating intentions of darkness and the notion of light as image. She is focusing her research on news-specific media to exemplify our understanding of information and ‘truths’ on the subject of conflict, and examine the hierarchy relationship between image and text.

​

She had gone for several artist residencies, in Iceland, Japan and Czech Republic and had participated in both local and international light festivals such as 100 points of light in Melbourne 2006, three editions of iLight Marina Bay 2010-2014, Vivid Sydney Light Festival 2011-2012, Amsterdam Light Festival 2012, Festival of Light 2015 in Jerusalem, Israel and Norrkoping Light Festival 2015, Sweden, Future Proof at 8Q, SAM, and Singapore Eye at ArtScience Museum. She recently had her solo exhibition, 'else', at Chan-Hori Contemporary, participated in The Story of Space Festival in Goa, India, and in START Art Fair at Saatchi Gallery in London, UK.
