Terence Koh

Terence Koh (b. 1977, China) lives and works in New York City. The oeuvre of Koh employs a diverse range of media, including drawing, sculpture, video, performance, and the internet: Koh’s web presence is his longest continuous artwork to date. Originally working under the alias asianpunkboy, Koh designed zines and custom-made books. By 2004, he was creating work under his real name and had developed a public persona of enigmatic behaviour. Koh’s work has been presented internationally in venues such as The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, Moscow (2011); The New Museum and Steven Kasher Gallery, New York City (both 2010); Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing (2010); Yokohama Triennial, Yokohama (2008); and Whitney Biennial, New York City (2004). He was the subject of solo exhibitions at the Venice Biennale (2011); MUSAC, León (2008); Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2008 and 2011); Whitney Museum of America Art, New York City (2007); Kunsthalle Zürich (2006); and the Vienna Secession (2005); amongst others. His work is in the permanent collections of notable institutions like the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City; and the Tate Modern, London. He received his BFA at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver.
