TeeJay Hong is a New York and London-based Korean artist predominantly working in performances with sculptural video installations in addition to paintings and ceramics. By engaging with the idea of escapism, Teejay aims to challenge and question the strict narrative of normative trends relating to white supremacy in the modern hierarchical structure of postmodernism. Recent solo shows include Angry Hotel Propaganda, Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Centre, Manchester U.K. (2017); Blue Salmon, Art In General with CCA Tallinn, Estonia (2016), Group shows: Tag: ICA Philadelphia (2018), Fault-Lines: Earl Lu Gallery, ICA, Singapore (2016), In Response: Unorthodox, Jewish Museum, New York (2016); and Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2015), Nottingham and ICA London, UK (2015).
