Art critic Chris Wan on the anti-narrative, the real world, and the effects of displacement in Hong Kong.
Art Critic, Writer, Curator Chris Wan
Ep.37 | For this week’s episode of The Last Supper I caught up with art critic, writer, and curator Chris Wan on my rooftop on Lamma island, Hong Kong. Together we talked about the role of narrative and anti-narrative in the various art disciplines, the multiplicity of perspectives of how we perceived the world, and we discussed his personal experience of displacement in Hong Kong.
Chris Wan Feng is a writer, critic and curator, currently works and lives in Hong Kong. His writing on contemporary art can be found on various media publications, e.g., Artforum. Chris’s recent research and curation focuses on new developments of local art system and creation of emerging artists in Hong Kong. He is also the founder and editor of independent art review project Daoju.
