Ep.40 | Gallery Director Charles Fong on what art is for, Tinder, and the dark side of art.
Description
In this episode I sat down with Charles Fong, the gallery director of Rossi & Rossi in Hong Kong. We began the conversation with his visit to the Art Collaboration Kyoto fair in Japan, we talked about what art is for, discussed what the value of art is, and ended our dialogue talking about the dark side of art.
Charles Fong - Gallery Director, Hong Kong. After graduating with a degree in Microbiology from the University of Hong Kong, Charles took a dive into the art world. While working, he completed his Masters in Sociology, specifically examining the development of Hong Kong’s art gallery ecosystem from the 1980s. Having great interest in understanding the role of art in different cultures, Charles aims to contextualize art through different means of storytelling.
