About Frog King Kwok Mang Ho – 蛙王郭孟浩
Frog King Kwok has had an immeasurable impact on contemporary art and design. Born in mainland China (1947), he trained in Hong Kong and NY, inspiring the 1980’s lower east side art scene and later teaching many of Hong Kong’s leading film makers, artists and designers such as Wong Kar Wai, Freeman Lau, Edith Cheung and others. Kwok is considered one of the first performance and conceptual artists to emerge from China and since 1967 has produced performances, sculptures, paintings and installations in over 3000 events around the world. In 2011, he was honored as the Hong Kong representative at the 2011 Venice Biennale.
