Subject Notes
Artist's bio:
"Spong is an artist of New Zealand and Indonesian heritage. Born and raised in New Zealand, Spong often felt
estranged from her Balinese heritage, but also considered herself an outsider or ambiguous insider in New Zealand
society. In her practice she explores the way art can draw upon fragments from history to re-imagine a past event or
performance. More recently she has examined the body and its relationship with history, place and time. Spong has
exhibited in New Zealand and internationally for over a decade. In 2012 she held solo exhibitions at the Auckland Art
Gallery Toi o Tamaki and Neuer Kunstverein, Vienna, and was included in the 2012 Biennale of Sydney." - Australian War Memorial
