Artist Statement Biography
Ling-lin ku is a multimedia sculptor making sculptures, installations, and three-dimensional objects. Her studio is a playground and an alchemy of the world where she plays in between the digital data and tangible materials through both hands-on processes and digital fabrication. She draws inspirations from language, architecture, food, and body parts yet through proximity, scale, texture, display structures, and material, Ling-lin upends our relationship to the known. The work slips in and out of categorization, creating a new way in which we come to understand objecthood.
Ling-lin has been exhibited her work nationally and internationally selected into residencies including International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, Summer Academy in at Salzburg, Austria, Haystack Open Studio Residency, L'AiR Atelier 11, Paris, France, 18th Street Art Center at Los Angeles, CA, and Baltimore Jewelry Center. Ling-lin is the recipient of Seebacher Prize in Fine Arts awarded by American Austrian Foundation and the winner of Umlauf Extended Prize and Houston Artadia Fellow. She is awarded the Honorable Mention of Innovative Award by International Sculpture Center.
Ling-lin received her MFA in Studio Art from University of Texas at Austin in 2019 and BFA in Sculpture and Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2016.
