NI HAO

Biography / Selected Works / Exhibitions / Related News​

Ni Hao, born in Hsin Chu, Taiwan in 1989, now lives and works in Hsin Chu and New York. He received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011 and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2014. Ni Hao investigates power structure, consumerism, and violence aesthetics in his practice by utilizing various mediums such as sculpture and video. Ni’s practice constantly provokes political metaphor or personal memories behind seemingly familiar objects. Recent solo exhibitions include: Trust Me, Love Me, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2019; Siege, T293, Rome, 2019; Ambush, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, 2019. Ni's works have been featured in group exhibitions at UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing; MOCA Taipei, Taipei; Rockland Center for the Arts, West Nyack; Boston Center for the Arts, Boston; Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei; New Bedford Art Museum, New Bedford; and the Queens Museum, Queens. Ni Hao was a shortlisted candidate at the Eighth Huayu Youth Award in 2020. His Structure Study V was exhibited in Aujourd’hui aura lieu at the Gwangju Biennale Pavilion Project, 2018. Works by the artist are included in the collections of VMAC in Hong Kong, MMCA (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art) in Seoul, South Korea and Collezione Taurisano in Naples, Italy.
