Bios
Lam Wong, Artist –
Lam Wong (b. 1968, Xiamen, Fujian, China) is a visual artist and curator who immigrated from Hong Kong to Canada during the 1980s and studied design, art history and painting in Alberta and British Columbia. Wong works with painting, installation and performance to engage with themes such as the perception of reality, the role of art and the relationship between time, memory and space. He sees artmaking as an ongoing spiritual practice and his work draws upon his knowledge of Western art history and his interest in Taoism and Buddhism. Wong’s creative approach is often concerned with blending Eastern philosophies and challenging the notion of painting.
Lam Wong has been based in Vancouver BC since 1998. He has recently exhibited his work and performed at Campbell River Art Gallery, Canton-sardine, Centre A, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Gallery 881, Griffin Art Projects, Unit 17, Walter Phillips Gallery, Western Front, and Vancouver Art Gallery.
Hank Bull, Moderator –
Hank Bull has been active on the Vancouver art scene since the early 1970s. He was an early member of the Western Front, where he explored radio art, cabaret performance, shadow theatre, and collaborative production of all kinds. A participant in global art networks since the 1980s, he was an early adopter of telecommunications technology, contributed to the development of artist-directed economies of exchange and produced numerous international projects. Throughout a hybrid career as artist/curator/administrator/advocate, he has continued to make art in a range of media, including painting, photography, video, music and sound. He was born at Moh’kins’tsis, Calgary, and lives with gratitude on the traditional and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Vancouver.
