Silas Fong (b. 1985, Hong Kong) is a contemporary artist based in Korea whose work places audiences inside systems that ask them to follow instructions, take responsibility, and perform acts of care. Working with installation, performance, and participatory structures, he uses everyday labour as an operative means to examine how art is produced, taught, and valued.

Through long-term projects including SAD Kitchen, Bread Whispers, and SAD School of Artists Development, Fong adopts the logics of training, service, and pseudo-institutions. Workshops, kits, protocols, archives, and “schools” function as practical systems rather than representations, making visible how professionalism, legitimacy, and value are constructed through action, repetition, and compliance.

Grounded in lived constraints, his work focuses on the negotiation between artistic labour and family life. Rather than approaching care as a theme or moral position, Fong treats it as an operational condition shaped by time, maintenance, responsibility, and failure.

Fong received his BA from Hong Kong Baptist University and MFA from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and undertook further studies at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. He has presented solo and group exhibitions across Asia and Europe, and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Photography at Chung-Ang University, Korea, where he lives and works.
