Alvin Luong (b. Toronto) works with stories of human migration, land, and dialogues from diasporic and working class communities to create artworks that reflect upon historical development and its intimate effects on the lives of people. Drawing, sculpture, and video articulate the artist’s expansive studio process that melds together field research, ethnography, and material experimentation.

Luong has exhibited and screened artworks in institutions including Boers-Li Gallery (Beijing), Gudskul (Jakarta), The Polygon Gallery (Vancouver), and Times Art Museum (Guangzhou). The artist has held research and resident artist appointments at the Inside-Out Art Museum (Beijing), HB Station Contemporary Art Research Center (Guangzhou), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto). Luong has been a recipient of the Long List Sobey Art Award (Canada) and was nominated for the 2021 Hans Nefkens Foundation LOOP Barcelona Video Art Production Award (Spain). The artist’s works have been acquired by The Rockefeller Foundation (New York City).
