Albert Chong - Part 2

<p>We don&#39;t usually do a Part 2 with our selected artists, but since we did more of a deep dive into Albert Chong&#39;s personal background last time, we decided to record a second, shorter episode to engage more fully with his art practice and philosophies.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we discuss creating from intuition, the value of non-academic art, elevating humble materials as well as the audience, and a personal story related to the artist Ana Mendieta. </p><p><br></p><p>We also discuss his brand new work reflecting our current times and his upcoming exhibitions in Colorado and elsewhere.</p><p><br></p><p>Albert&#39;s 2026 shows in Colorado will be at <a href="https://www.eastwindow.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">East Window Gallery</a> and the <a href="https://www.emmanuelgallery.org/upcoming" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Emmanuel Art Gallery</a>, at the University of Colorado, Denver.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve enjoyed the show, please leave us a rating, consider ⁠making a donation towards our <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=PRZTJTM3TTNMW" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠podcast fund⁠</a>, or <a href="https://noboartdistrict.org/support-nobo-art-district/become-a-sponsor/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠become a sponsor⁠</a> to receive an on-air business feature.
