Conrad Cheung is an artist and educator working across installation, performance, architecture, video, VR, and more. Their practice asks what spatial and affective conditions are required to realize anarchic, queer, and interspecies forms of democratic living. In the face of our various epistemic, civic, and ecological crises, what material infrastructures and reconfigurations of care, attention, and desire might allow for the flourishing of eclectic new publics and experiments in alternative sociality, particularly where sociality exceeds what is comprehensible or what is human? Cheung’s practice is driven by participatory, collaborative, and parafictional strategies, and they collaborate regularly with practitioners across creative and academic disciplines. They are currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art and affiliate faculty in the Environmental Thought and Practice program at the University of Virginia. They also work with Anna Hogg and Katie Baer Schetlick as the artist collective nonhumanities.
