Terence Koh

Terence Koh (b. 1980, Beijing; raised in Vancouver) works across sculpture, performance, installation, photography, and printed matter. His practice has moved between monochrome ritual, queer theatricality, self-mythology, celebrity proximity, and controlled abjection. Operating under the alias Asianpunkboy and through close collaboration with Javier Peres and Peres Projects, Koh built a significant presence in the mid-2000s art world before withdrawing from public life around 2012.

His work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Peres Projects (Los Angeles and Berlin), and major international venues. Publications, artist’s books, and printed matter from this period form a distinct body of work in their own right.

This collection gathers exhibition catalogues, artist’s books, and printed matter relating to Terence Koh’s practice.
