Amanda Ross-Ho

Amanda Ross-Ho holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of 
Chicago and an MFA from the University of Southern California.

Ross-Ho's work is inspired by detritus: the clutter and remnants of 
daily existence, and the 'negative space' of things overlooked. Ranging 
from sculpture, installation, painting, and photography, her work seeks 
to uncover the subtle beauty of coincidence and anomaly. Working from 
source material as diverse as newspaper articles, narcotics agency 
records, life aspiration manuals, and home-craft instruction booklets, 
Ross-Ho highlights points of cultural 'intersection' to create extrinsic 
portraits of contemporary zeitgeist. Throughout Ross-Ho's work is a 
sense of de-familiarization and detachment, a numbing alienation 
contrived from everyday ephemera.

Solo exhibitions include Cherry and Martin, Los Angeles, Hoet Bekaert, 
Belgium,The Pomona Museum of Art, Mitchell-Innes and Nash New York, The 
Visual Arts Center, Austin, TX, and The Approach, London. Group 
exhibitions include Artists Space, New York, The Henry Art Gallery, 
Seattle, The Orange County Museum of Art, The Museum of Contemporary 
Art, Los Angeles, The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, 
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The New Museum, New York, The 
Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the 2008 Whitney Biennial.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles will present a solo 
exhibition of Ross-Ho's work in Spring 2012. Her work has been featured 
in Artforum, The New York Times, ArtReview, Modern Painters, Art in 
America, Flash Art, and Frieze. Ross-Ho lives and works in Los Angeles.
