Alvin Luong (b. Toronto) restages and reinterprets moments and objects that are intimate to contemporary life and significant to the development of history. Narrative exposition through film and material experimentation through sculpture is used by the artist
to articulate and transform meaning that is gathered through field work, archives, ethnography, and collaboration. This exhaustive approach by the artist collapses temporalities, places, things, and knowledge to create unlikely relationships that make histories
and distant sites urgent for understanding a present condition and for imagining new futures. The artist is interested in the transformation of communities and commodities across physical distance, time, and political structures.</div>
