NI HAO

Biography / Selected Works / Exhibitions / Related News​

Ni Hao, born in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1989, now lives and works in Hsinchu. 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: Duo Project with Shi Jiayun, Gallery Vacancy at Frieze London, 2023; AHU Trilogy Part I: The Great Filtration, T293, Rome, 2022; The Lathery Enfold, Gallery Vacancy at Liste Art Fair Basel, 2022; Trust Me, Love Me, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2019; Siege, T293, Rome, 2019; Ambush, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, 2019. Ni's works have been featured in group exhibitions at Jut Art Museum, Taipei; Digital Art Center, Taipei; Taipei Fine Arts Museum; Hong-Gah Museum, Taipei; UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing; Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei; National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul; The 12th Gwangju Biennale; Rockland Center for the Arts; Boston Center for the Arts; New Bedford Art Museum; and Queens Museum. 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 (Videotage Media Art Collection), Hong Kong; MMCA (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art), Seoul; and Collezione Taurisano, Naples. Ni Hao will participate in the International Artist Residency Program at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), Seoul, in 2024.
