WeiXin Quek Chong
WEIXIN QUEK CHONG (b. 1988, Singapore) is a visual artist known to work with image, objects, audiovisual, and at times, performative elements to play with perception and tantalise the senses.
Chong received her MA from the Royal College of Art,London, and her BA (Hons) from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. She works between Madrid, Singapore and London, and has exhibited extensively.
Recent exhibitions include: shedding:::selves, group show, Queer East Festival, London (2024); La Casa Generación 2024, group show, showcasing commissioned works by winners of XXIV edition of Generaciones, Madrid (2024);and Gestures of Resistance, group show, ai. x LINSEEDProjects, London (2023). Chong has also been chosen forseveral residencies including Holstebro Dansekompagni, Denmark in 2024, De Singl Arts Centre, Antwerp in 2023 and, Grey Project, MMCA Goyang, Korea in 2022.
Her recent projects are inspired by processes of transformation in the biodiverse (natural) world and in how people present themselves, as well as cyborgian adaptation—incorporating sensorial-based explorations that frequently involve tactility, sound, and the aim of creating immersive environments.
Chong's works are in both private and public collections including DLA Piper International and Swiss RE, Singapore Art Collection.
