Tishan Hsu
1951–
Introduction
Tishan Hsu (born 1951) is an American contemporary artist based in New York. Hsu's practice examines the "embodiment of technology," or technology's impact on phenomenology and affect. Hsu's works span across painting, sculpture, drawing, and computer-generated media and often incorporate unusual materials such as digital media, silicone, and Styrofoam. Recently, after his mother's death in 2013, Hsu's works have turned towards the relationship between technology and race, history, and heritage. From 1994-2018, Hsu was Professor of Visual Arts at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, as well as a visiting professor at Pratt Institute and Harvard University. Hsu has served as a Member of the Board of White Columns and a Governor of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
