Ryan Kuo

1982–

Ryan Kuo’s (b. 1982; Elkins, West Virginia) works are process-based and diagrammatic, often invoking a state of argument. He has used video game engines, web and user-experience (UX) design, chatbots, productivity software, and technical writing to produce circuitous and unresolved movements in which objects are explored with regard to their significance in the context of white supremacy.

Kuo’s work has been shown at M+ Hong Kong; the Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York; the Queens Museum; Bitforms Gallery, New York; TRANSFER, Los Angeles; left gallery, Berlin; and the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. It has been featured in Artforum, Art In America, BOMB, and at Rhizome. Kuo was a 2022 Knight Arts + Tech Fellow and a resident at the Center for Afrofuturist Studies, Iowa City; Pioneer Works, New York; and the Queens Museum Studio Program.
