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.
