Biography
In 2007, Clara Cheung founded C&G Artpartment with her partner, Gum Cheng. C&G believe that between the states of consuming and being consumed, there exists grey areas and gaps that can be filled by art history, art criticism, art education, and discussions around issues such as contexts of artistic production, long term development strategies for art ecology, and the politics of art. The activities that C&G organise are often collective and participatory in nature, with a focus on issues surrounding the art ecology of Hong Kong as well as current events. C&G were invited to participate in different international art events, such as Shanghai Biennale (2018) and Singapore Biennale (2019). Clara was elected as a member of Wan Chai District Council in Hong Kong since Jan 2020, until she resigned in July 2021 due to uncertain political threats in Hong Kong. She is now based in the UK and her recent art practice has strong emphasis over performance art in public space and participatory art projects. |
