​
Luke CHING Chin Wai (b.1972, Hong Kong) received his MA in Fine Arts in The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Broadly acknowledged as one of the most active conceptual artists in Hong Kong, CHING twists the roles of artist and observer within and beyond the city. He creates artworks that transcend conventional forms, restriction and control. He breeds a discursive system with a good mix of humour, responding and interrogating the cultural and political collisions occurred in Hong Kong. Participated exhibitions include solo exhibition “Liquefied Sunshine” (Blindspot Gallery, Hong Kong, 2019), “For Now We See Through a Window” (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2016), “Folk Art Series” (Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery, Blackburn, UK, 2008), group exhibition “Dismantling the Scaffold” (Tai Kwun Contermporary, Hong Kong, 2018), “Imagine Border” (Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, Korea, 2018), Residency program Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Resience Program (Japan, 2006) and P.S.1 Contemporary Arts Center Studio Program (New York, 2000). CHING currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
