In his appointment as the curator for SITE’s 2008 Biennial, Fung wants more than just another big group exhibition. He states, “I want to redefine the paradigm of a biennial through collaboration, to offer an alternative and new approach, one in keeping with the history of SITE’s own biennials. I want to find other like-minded organizations that share the same energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to mission as SITE does. Through collaborating with the right match of global partner organizations-some perhaps well-known for idiosyncratic, specialized, or strong programming, others more radical or grass-roots-oriented doing great work-it is my goal to raise awareness of SITE’s own strengths, to showcase the distinctive flavor of each collaborator, to inspire learning, and to bring people together to foster a broad sea-change in visual arts presentation.”

Formerly the director of Holly Solomon Gallery, as well as having his own gallery in New York, Fung has worked with a number of leading artists of the Fluxus, Minimal, and Conceptual movements, including Nam June Paik, Sol LeWitt, and Robert Barry, among others. As an independent curator, Fung has created a number of important exhibitions in this country and abroad: Crossing Parallels, at the SSamzie Space in Seoul, Korea; Going Home, at the Edward Hopper Historical Museum in Nyack, New York; and Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark, at the Venice Architectural Biennale in 2002. He was the curator of The Snow Show: Lapland 2003–2004; The Snow Show Preview at UNESCO’s Palazzo Zorzi, Venice Biennale 2003; and The Snow Show at Torino Winter Olympics 2006. Currently, Fung is curating the first international large-scale exhibition of public installations in Beijing, China, in conjunction with the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
