Simon Leung was born in Hong Kong. His foremost concern as an artist is how “the ethical,” broadly defined, can be thought and traced. His projects in various media meditate on the ethical condition, broadly defined, as challenge and possibility. His works include an opera, context-specific works, and “art workers’ theater” on the intersection of art and labor context. He is currently a Professor of Art at UCI.
