The 60th Venice Biennale has been running since 20 April. It was curated by Adriano Pedrosa with the theme „Foreigners Everywhere“. One of the artists invited by Pedrosa for the main exhibition in Arsenale is Isaac Chong Wai. Born in Hong Kong and living in Berlin, Isaac Chong Wai combines performance, video, installation, painting and photography in his art. He deals with topics such as racism and homophobia as well as celebrating emotions.
In this episode of Kulturmittler:innen, we talked to Isaac Chong Wai about his experiences as part of the Venice Biennale, his art and the connection between art and civil society.
