Andrea Chung
Edit ProfileCareer
Her work focuses primarily on island nations in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean sea. Specifically on how outsiders perceive a fantastic reality in spaces deemed as “paradise”. In conjunction, she explores relationships between these cultures, migration, and labor - all within the context of colonial and postcolonial regimes.
Her projects bring in conscientious elements of her own labor and incorporate materials significant to the cultures she studies.
This can be seen in works such as, “Bato Disik”, displayed in 2013 at the Helmuth Projects, where the medium of sugar represents the legacy of sugar plantations and colonial regime. Chung was born to parents of Jamaican/Chinese and Trinidadian descent.
She was raised in Houston, Texas.
