Announcing Wong Kit Yi’s first solo show with PHD Group, opening March 23

Expect bagpipes, hidden frequencies, karaoke and more.

The gallery will be open 11:11am to 11:11pm for the week of Art Basel Hong Kong. Live performances featuring the artists and her special guests will also take place daily during that week.

Wong Kit Yi (b.1983) works at the intersection of speculative imagination and research. Merging video with performance and the everyday, she crafts participatory experiences that engender questions of identity, the parameters of time, and context. In her relational karaoke-lecture-performances, she moves fluidly between the voices of academia, memoir, philosophy, and pop song, aggregating content from her research.

She has performed and shown work at Tate Modern (London); Queens Museum (New York); Para Site (Hong Kong); Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong); and the San Francisco Art Institute (San Francisco). She has participated in FRONT Triennial, Cleveland (2022) and The Arctic Circle expeditionary residency (2015) and was a 2021-22 artist-in-residence at the Chinati Foundation. Her work has been collected by the M+ Museum (Hong Kong) and the Kadist Art Foundation (Paris/San Francisco).
