Short biographies of the Debe:

Debe Sham graduated from Lam Tai Fai College in 2008. Debe is a sculptor and an interdisciplinary artist, usually works with metal and glass. The performative sculptures and site-specific installations she has developed in the past several years have grown out of the artistic exploration of the role of public art. Specifically, she has focused on interactivity as a means of generating dialogue between art and its audience; the ambiguity of interpersonal communication in different social situations; and the history and culture of toys, games and playgrounds.

Debe Sham graduated from the Hong Kong Baptist University in Visual Arts (B.A. 2011 & M.A. 2013). She then has taught as a visiting artist at the Department of Visual Studies, Hong Kong Lingnan University. Debe has joined the Academy of Visual Arts, HKBU as a part-time lecturer since January 2016. She received the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (New York) Yale-China Art Fellowship 2017 and served as a research scholar at Yale University (U.S.A.). Currently, she is based in Hong Kong and joined the Department of Fine Arts in the Chinese University of Hong Kong as a part-time lecturer. 

「Mat6 Gwai1 Yun4 Jyu2」 presents the findings of the research-based art project that the artist developed in New Haven, USA and aiming to create an artistic dialogue with Hong Kong audiences. To support Debe, please come to the exhibition.
