An OVA (Organisation for Visual Arts) touring exhibition of works by Malaysian artist, Wong Hoy Cheong, shown in the United Kingdom and Malaysia between 2002 and 2003. Covering a period of six years, this is a retrospective show of the artist's output between 1996-2002. Wong was born in Malaysia but studied in the West before returning to his native homeland to establish himself as an artist. Dealing with questions of race, identity and issues of inequality in his drawings, installations and sculptures, Wong's ability to "pick through and further current debates in art history around the post-colonial context [] from a non-Western perspective," using historic narrative, marks the complexities of today's inter-cultural world of blurred boundaries and shows a British audience (many of whom "know little or entertain fantasies dating back to the colonial era") a glimpse of the post-colonial state. Introduction by Beverly Yong and essays by Hou Hanru and Ray Langenbach. Includes biographical details.
