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 received a Bachelor's in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, in 2018. She is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts (Zürcher Hochschule der Künste), Switzerland. Her recent exhibitions include TRANSCENDING BODIES- Performances by DFA students (ZHdK x Hauser & Wirth, Switzerland, 2024), 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.
