Hui Wai-Keung Biography Hui Wai-Keung was born and lives in Hong Kong. He received his MFA from School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, and studied in Hong Kong Art School. Hui has exhibited locally and abroad, including ifva Awards, 404 Electronic Art Festival, and XXI Triennale. He is also active in artist-in-residency programs that are held in Europe and Asia, including ARCUS Project in Japan. He had his solo exhibition in Goethe-Gallery in 2017.

He believes it is time for art to go back to sublime, but a new definition of sublime. 許維強 Hui Wai Keung @ http://www.huiwaikeung.org @huiwaikeung
