Shirley Tse

Shirley Tse () (born 1968, Hong Kong) is a U.S. contemporary artist based in California. Her art is often installation-based, employing sculpture, photography and/or video that may function as stand-alone works or in relation to one another. She explores conceptual themes including plasticity, multiplicity and multi-dimensional thinking, balancing attention to the physical attributes of raw materials, craft, form and socio-political issues such as global mobility, social negotiation and sustainability. Critic Doug Harvey wrote that Tse has "continually produc[ed] elegant and idiosyncratic artifacts that engage the audience formally, while producing a convincing mash-up of late modernist sculptural concerns and something between identity politics and autobiography."

Tse has exhibited at venues including MoMA PS1, the New Museum, M+, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 2019, she was selected to represent Hong Kong in the 58th Venice Biennale, becoming the first woman to present a solo show at the event's Hong Kong pavilion. Her work belongs to the public collections of the New Museum, M+, and Hong Kong Heritage Museum, among others, and she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009. She is on the faculty of the School of Art at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Provided by Wikipedia
