Joyce Ho received her M.A. in studio arts from the University of Iowa. She is an interdisciplinary artist with an emphasis on painting, installation, and performance. With an illusion rich in light and shadow, the artist aims to integrate the deconstructed movements and fragmented slices of daily routines to convey an intimate, yet alienated tension between people and reality. The artist’s work simultaneously captivates and confronts viewers, rendering the quotidian action depicted in her work as a momentary ritual.
Ho has exhibited internationally, including Connecting Bodies: Asian Women Artists, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea (2024); NGV Triennial 2023, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia (2023); Hyper Digital Forces, Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul, Turkey (2023); Joyce Ho: Counting, TKG+, Taipei, Taiwan (2023); Phantasmapolis: Asian Art Biennial, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung, Taiwan (2021); Why Art Matters: Gallery Children’s Biennale 2021, National Gallery Singapore, Singapore (2021); We Do Not Dream Alone: Asia Society Triennial, Asia Society Museum, New York, NY, U.S. (2021); Noire Lumière, How Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2020); Yokohama Triennale: Afterglow, Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama, Japan (2020); Meditations in an Emergency, UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, China (2020); OzAsia Festival, Artspace Gallery, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide, Australia (2019); NO ON: Joyce Ho Solo Exhibition, TKG+, Taipei, Taiwan (2019); 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia (2018); Inhabiting the World, Busan Biennale, Busan Museum of Art, Korea (2014); and Everyday Life: Asian Art Biennale, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung, Taiwan (2013).
