Vincent Leong (b. 1979, Kuala Lumpur) is an iconoclast and saboteur whose works in video, assemblage and site-specific installation often pare down experience to sets of structures and systems. By selecting aspects of the ordinary and the popular, Vincent investigates social misconceptions within a larger cultural context. He earned a BFA from Goldsmiths College, University of London (2000–04), receiving the BT Goldsmiths Prize in digital media in 2004. Vincent has also had artist residencies at Asian Cultural Contents Creation Center Workshop, Gwangju, South Korea (2006), Sculpture Square, Singapore (2007) and Koganecho Bazaar, Yokohama, Japan (2009). In 2012, Vincent participated in the Guggenheim UBS Map Global Art Initiative’s No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia at the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
