Magdalen Wong is an artist born in Hong Kong and currently based in Lisbon. She works mainly with found materials drawn from social media advertisements and films as well as with objects and sounds collected from her daily meanderings. Her recent works wander into various fictitious characters who often take on roles as mediators between peoples and places and their histories and futures. Her work enquires how we alter influence adapt to and traverse between our built social environments and our solitary dream spaces.

Wong had received grants and attended residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Yaddo Vermont Studio Center Goyang Art Studio in Seoul and Triangle Arts New York. She had exhibited at Kunstinstituut Melly The Netherlands; Tai Kwun Hong Kong; Spring Workshop + Current Plans Hong Kong; Asia Society Hong Kong; Para/Site Hong Kong; Urban Institute of Contemporary Art Grand Rapids; Makeroom Los Angeles; Laurence Miller Gallery New York; and Galeria Avenida da Índia in Lisbon Portugal.
