Terence Koh

(Canadian/Chinese, born 1977)

Terence Koh is a contemporary Chinese-born Canadian artist whose practice spans a number of disciplines in its examination of identity, sexuality, and politics. In his 2016 installation show “Terenence Koh: Bee Chapel,” the artist melded the environmental issue of honeybee deaths with symbolic images of human death as an esoteric means of confronting mortality. “Koh’s creativity is not about the construction of a character. Rather, it is an act of political or social relevance with an ever-growing surrounding collective subconscious,” the writer Agustin Pérez Rubio wrote of his work. Born in 1977 in Beijing, China, Koh was raised in the Mississauga, Canada, and went on to attend both the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver and the University of Waterloo in Ontario. The artist initially worked under the alias “asianpunkboy” until 2004, the same year he was included in the Whitney Biennial. Koh went on to create a YouTube Show, in which he interviewed guests such as Marina Abramović and Lady Gaga. In 2014, the artist went on a two year leave from the New York art scene, moving to upstate New York to meditate and be surrounded by nature. He currently lives and work in California. Today, Koh’s works are held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, among others.
