Born in Hong Kong in 1981, Thomas C. Chung is an Australian artist based in Sydney and Scandinavia. For the past 6 years, he has received various artist-in-residency opportunities, travelling to New London (USA), Gothenburg (Sweden), Kemijärvi (Finland), and most recently in Drammen (Norway). Since 2008, Chung has exhibited in 5 solo exhibitions and has recently shown in 2011 at the Lands Museum (Norway). As of October 2011, Chung is represented by Galleri Athene (Norway) and Galerie Tante Netty (Netherlands).
Chung’s installation for City of Sydney Chinese New Year 2012 creates spaces of fantasies through referencing childhood, play and games; the work shines a light upon private isolated experiences – in this case, from that of a child.
Crocheting sculptures of food that you cannot taste, and creating landscapes of imaginary tea parties to set the scene, the art installation deals with the idea of memories, and that the associated needs that we have with them, are essential in learning about who we really are as individuals. Chung’s works weave about the world into the forms of toys, stories and lost memories – giving the viewer a detached, simulated experience.
Failspace is a guest curator space at gaffa that aims to initiate a critical discourse and presentation of Contemporary craft and labour intensive art through a series of experimental and participatory exhibitions. Application still opens.
