Simon Leung was born in Hong Kong in1964. Since the 1990s, Leung has used the squatting body to create projects that engage in concepts of nationalism, property, labor, identity, and protest in the public space. Working across video, performance, sculpture, drawing, critical theory, fiction, and opera, Leung often links his work to context-specific sites, notably Hong Kong, Berlin, and Los Angeles. Recent presentations include the group exhibitions Another Beautiful Country, the Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena (2024); Scratching at the Moon, Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2024); and Countering Time, Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong (2024–25); as well as My Friend the War, a performance with Jim Fletcher at Cabinet, Brooklyn (2022). Leung teaches at the University of California, Irvine, where he is a professor of art, Asian American studies, and critical theory.
