Biography / Works / Exhibitions / Related News​

Ni Hao was born in 1989 in Hsin Chu City, Taiwan. He received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011 and an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2014. He now lives and works in New York and Hsin Chu. Ni investigates power structure, consumerism and violence aesthetics in his work by utilizing various mediums such as sculpture and video. His practice constantly provokes political metaphor or personal memories behind seemingly familiar objects. Ni's work has been featured in exhibitions at 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. His recent solo exhibitions include Ambush at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and Siege at T293 in Rome, 2019. Ni Hao’s Structure Study V was exhibited in Aujourd’hui aura lieu at the Gwangju Biennale Pavilion Project, 2018. In 2019, Ni Hao's Structure Study I was acquired by MMCA Seoul (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea) and will be included in its upcoming exhibition in 2020.
