Lure of Memory

Trocadero Projects, Melbourne 
November 2024

Lure of Memory presents works from seven local artists, who individually explore the fluidity and embodiment of kinship, love, loss and intimacy.


The exhibition forms an interconnected tapestry of painting, photography, film and performance revealing personal narratives that explore the delicate balance of absence and presence.
 

Judy Kong’s Missing Pieces is a poignant video installation that traverses the voids within a displaced family story, evoking a vulnerable yearning for intimacy in the face of isolation. 

Unpacking

Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong 
April 2024

Unpacking is a group exhibition featuring artworks by Melbourne-based artists Judy Kong, Kelly So, Cheryl Liu, and Wise Yeung. The multimedia exhibition showcases video installation, sculpture, and ceramics. This introspective exhibition reflects on the migrating identity of Hong Kongers living in Australia. As the Hong Kong population in Hong Hong risen rapidly in recent years, the four artists utilise their unique position in history to portray an outsider perspective on the state of becoming.  
 

Traveling artists carry items of baggage on the road. Whenever they encounter something inspiring, they stop and unload. Artists always open their senses. They are always ready to be moved, especially in a foreign place. When they arrive at a fertile soil that allows creativities to grow, they may pause their journey and set up a site for art creation.  Waltzing Matilda, one of the most famous Australian Poems, mirrors the situations of the four artists in Unpacking.  Similarly, they are travellers with great expectations.

The very very very Last Day

First Site Gallery (RMIT Culture), Melbourne  
June 2023

The very very very Last Day is a dramatic scenario—a patchwork of fragmented, incomprehensible feelings that articulate human emotions from space. The very very very last day is a dramatic scenario. A patchwork of fragmented, incomprehensible feelings which articulate human emotions from space. Perhaps, Last Day is a departure or a beginning. The shift in the place we live manipulates us. We no longer have an answer to how things disappear.

I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Lands of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land
