Michele Chu
Bio +
Michele Chu (b. 1994, based in Hong Kong) is a multidisciplinary artist engaged in practices of intimacy and ritual. In her experimentations with different materials and elements, she investigates how the body manifests and adapts in situations of public tension or private introspection. As one of the many emerging artists practicing in post-handover Hong Kong, Chu examines ephemerality and ludic play in relation to intense social change and communal relationships.
Her work has been shown at 1A Space (Hong Kong); Negative Space (Hong Kong); and Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong). Her debut solo exhibition at PHD Group, “you, trickling,” was featured in The New York Times, Artforum, ArtReview Asia, Frieze, Ocula, and other publications.
She is a recipient of Soundpocket’s Artist Support Program from 2020-21 and the HART Haus Studio grant in 2021 and was in residence at London’s Delfina Foundation as part of their “Performance as Process” program in 2023.
