Kelvin King Fung NG (1985) was born in Hong Kong and is currently doctoral researcher and part-time lecturer at the University of Huddersfield. He has studied composition at the Kunstuniversität Graz Austria, the University of Missouri-Kansas City USA and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Works have been performed in Austria, Australia, China, Hong Kong (China), France, the Faroe Islands, Germany, Slovenia, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States by distinguished and engaged artists and ensembles.
His works germinate from the core concern of ourselves as spatially and temporally co-existing beings, structuring available materials to examine conditions and issues such as presence, consciousness and intersubjectivity arisen from such fact. In this sense these works possess strong affinity with philosophical concepts of 'being-with' by Nancy and 'distribution of the sensible' by Rancière, among others. Knowledge from a.o. anthropology, embodied cognition, semiotics as well as cultural and spiritual practices are employed to illuminate on the artistic problems. Most of his works recruit the entire audio-visual sensory faculty and call for heightened attention and empathetic engagement from the audience.
