フロッグ・キング（郭孟浩）

Frog King (Kwok Mang Ho, b. 1947) is a pioneering Hong Kong performance and conceptual artist who treats everyday life as art. In 1979 he presented “Plastic Bag Happenings” in Tiananmen Square and on the Great Wall, now regarded as one of the earliest performance art works in China. Based in New York in the 1980s, he developed an experimental practice fusing Eastern and Western cultures. In 1998 he received the Hong Kong Arts Development Council’s Emeritus Fellowship, and in 2011 he represented Hong Kong at the 54th Venice Biennale. His work was shown in “Awakenings: Art in Society in Asia 1960s-1990s,” which toured to the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. In 2023 he created a public sculpture for Hong Kong International Airport. His works are held by M+, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Denver Art Museum, among others.
