Biography
Morgan Wong is an artist and is currently teaching at the Department of Creative Arts, Hong Kong Metropolitan University. He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. Morgan Wong’s artistic practice unfolds his contemplation on time.

He was also awarded the Asian Cultural Council New York Fellowship in 2019 and the Award for Young Artist (Media Arts) at the 15th Hong Kong Arts Development Awards in 2021. Wong has received institutional and corporate commissions for artwork creation, including the M+ Museum, LCSD, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

To serve the professional community, Wong has been a Board of Directors member for non-profit art space Videotage, an External Examiner for Hong Kong Arts School, and a judge for The Global Undergraduate Awards.
