Artists are radical change makers. Art is love and powerful. I am excited for this unique opportunity to engage with the NSCAD and Halifax communities and to share my art and experiences of a life in art.
Paul Wong, will present his multiverse: an interdisciplinary art practice that spans fifty years. Celebrated as one of Canada’s pioneering video artists, Wong has been creating single- and multi-channel works for screens of all shapes, sizes, and lengths for festivals, artist-run galleries, museums, community centres, broadcast networks, and online platforms.
In this power hour, illustrated media presentation, Wong will rewind, play, and fast-forward through an eclectic range of past, present, and current projects-in-progress that will flow from early low-tech analogue experiments to new media explorations, and works on paper, photography, performance art, neon sculptures, and site-specific public art commissions. He will connect seemingly disparate projects by grounding them in form, content, and context and his radical body and identity politics.
