Alvin Luong

Toronto, Canada

Alvin Luong (b. Toronto) restages and reinterprets moments and objects that are intimate to contemporary life and significant to the development of history. Narrative exposition through film and material experimentation through drawing and sculpture is used by the artist to articulate and transform meaning that is gathered through field work, archives, ethnography, and collaboration. The artist is interested in the transformation of communities and commodities across physical distance, time, and political structures. Luong has exhibited at institutions including Gudskul (Jakarta), The Polygon Gallery (Vancouver), Times Art Museum (Guangzhou), Art Museum (Toronto), and Mercer Union (Toronto). The artist’s works are held in the TD Bank Art Collection (Toronto) and the Permanent Collection of The Rockefeller Foundation (New York City).
