WORKS FOR 18@8 KUALA LUMPUR - KARACHI, PAKISTAN SHOW
-AMIN GULGEE GALLERY AND WEI-LING GALLERY

" Choy Chun Wei is interested in the constructs of structures that impart the nature of its inhabitants. In Living Mementos Series, the process of creation is integral to the meaning of the work. Chun Wei borrows texts, such as instruction manuals and signboards that are used to facilitate manoeuvres within a manmade environment. He then exposes the fragility of our dependence on these by alternately concealing with paint and then cuttingly exposing them with a pallette knife. The resulting effect is one of fragmented narration and shattered surfaces, jaringly questioning our acceptence of systems and definitions." (Li-En Chong, 18@8, Kuala Lumpur - Karachi, December 2006)
