ABOUT
Through his socially conscious experimental art, Wong has achieved significant recognition, notably with his 'Wandering Homes' project showcased at the 2008 Venice Architectural Biennale and his captivating 'Paddling Home' and 'Sleepwalker' installations featured at the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture. His impactful political artworks, which captivated fellow protestors during Hong Kong’s July 1st protests and garnered both local and international media attention, successfully merged art and activism, expanding artistic boundaries. This dedication to innovative and meaningful work has been further acknowledged through prestigious accolades of awards.
For the past decade, Kacey has dedicated himself to connecting artistic creation with social activism, promoting the possibilities of political art to bring positive transformation and innovation to society. Initially, he participated in various Hong Kong protests with large props. As the Chinese Communist Party increasingly tightened its political control over Hong Kong, making demonstrations more dangerous, his later works have utilized body camouflage and role-playing. In 2021, pursuing 100% artistic freedom of expression, Kacey left Hong Kong and went into self-imposed exile in Taiwan, establishing an art studio in Taichung. Kacey continues to speak out for the human rights development of Hong Kong via his art creation overseas.
黃國才的藝術作品探討人與社會及政治生活空間的關係，手法多元包括雕塑、裝置、攝影及行為藝術。其在2008年威尼斯建築雙年展上展出的「流浪家居」，以及在香港深圳城市\建築雙城雙年展上引人入勝的「漂流家室」和「夢遊號」裝置藝術最為著名。他引人注目的政治藝術作品，曾在香港七一遊行期間吸引了眾多示威者，並獲得本地和國際媒體關注，成功融合了藝術與行動主義，拓展藝術的邊界。這種對社會創新意義的作品，得到多項聲譽卓著的獎項及博物館永久收藏。
過去十年來，黃國才一直致力於將藝術創作與社會行動主義連結，推廣政治藝術帶來社會正面轉型和創新的可能性。起初，他參與香港的各種抗議活動，並使用大型道具。然而，隨著中國共產黨日益收緊對香港的政治控制，使得示威活動更具危險性，他後期的作品則轉向運用身體偽裝和角色扮演。2021年，為了追求百分之百的藝術表達自由，黃國才離開香港，自我流亡至台灣，並在台中設立了藝術工作室，並持續為香港人權發展透過藝術在海外發聲並引起關注。
