Gayle Chong Kwan is an artist based in London whose practice has periodically readdressed individual and collective ideas of paradise and utopia. However these relationships tend to be played out in contested public spaces rather than insulated gallery micro-climates, and are not generalised but intensely local and complex in tone. Her prior education in political science and a Masters qualification in Communications is an interesting element in a practice that routinely deals openly with the contested territory of utopia on an intimist scale.
