Arts at CERN

Ni Hao’s work often combines sculptures, installations, videos, and sound performances to explore the world’s continuously changing power systems and structures and our daily existence within them.

Ni Hao received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011 and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2014. Ni Hao investigates power structure, consumerism, and violence aesthetics in his practice by utilizing various mediums such as sculpture and video. Ni’s practice constantly provokes political metaphor or personal memories behind seemingly familiar objects.

Recent solo exhibitions include: Duo Project with Shi Jiayun, Gallery Vacancy at Frieze London, 2023; AHU Trilogy Part I: The Great Filtration, T293, Rome, 2022; The Lathery Enfold, Gallery Vacancy at Liste Art Fair Basel, 2022; Trust Me, Love Me, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2019; Siege, T293, Rome, 2019; Ambush, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, 2019.
