Join us for an enriching career talk featuring Ice Wong, an accomplished artist and conservation team member at M+. In this insightful session, Ice will share her journey in the field, balancing both her passionate work restoring artworks and maintaining her own studio practice. Ice will give us an insider's look into what a day in her conservation career looks like as well as tips for aspiring conservators.
Ice Wong (b. Hong Kong) is an artist currently based in Hong Kong and Zurich, working across installation, video, drawing and live art, particularly durational performance. Her practice utilises her body as the primary medium to observe and capture the passage of time, further examining life’s impermanence and vulnerability through creating a durational on-site experience.
Wong graduated from the BA(VA) programme in 2018. She is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree at the Zurich University of the Arts (Zürcher Hochschule der Künste), Switzerland. Her recent exhibitions include Performance Days 3.0 (Bacio Collective, Switzerland, 2023), Women at the End of the World (Art Basel HK x HKBU AVA, 2023), Post-Human Narratives—In the Name of Scientific Witchery (Para Site, Hong Kong, 2022), Noble Rot (Para Site, Hong Kong, 2022), and Per. Platform #3 (Per. Platform x Eaton HK, 2022). In 2021–2022, she was awarded a 2046 Fermentation + Fellowships grant by Para Site.
