Catalogue of Wong Hoy Cheong's solo exhibition at Valentine Willie Fine Art in 2006. The present exhibition is Wong Hoy Cheong's first showing of a completely new body of work in Malaysia since 1996. To date, Wong's work has been characterised by its engagement with history, or more accurately, the forces and phenomena which have shaped and continue to shape our reading of history. Bound for Glory, as suggested by Beverly Yong, makes no direct references to the cultural and political tensions on which so much of Wong's work has thrived. Rather it probes the more gelatinous substance of a 'psycho-social fabric' of Malaysia and, by extension, a wider contemporary reality in which an excess of information, and the breaking of so many taboos, have led to some loss of comfortable moral bearings. As such, the works in the exhibition are particularly complex and ambiguous, while focusing keenly on effect, on immediate sensory response.

The catalogue includes introduction by Beverly Yong, essay by Carmen Nge, interview by Joselina Cruz and artist biography.
