No artist best captures the contemporary condition of Chinatown as does the work of Steve Wong. With beautifully executed projects such as Chinatown Stories, Wong provides the conceptual framework of which to view multiple iterations of Chinatown as both neighborhood and artifact. We sat down with Steve Wong in the back alley of Telic Arts Exchange in Chung King Road to talk about his memories of Chinatown, the nuance behind his work, and his proprietorship of one of the area's most iconic buildings, Fong's Antique Shop; an irony that does not go unnoticed by the artist.
