ARTICLES

Terence Koh
By Brian Sholis

New York artist Terence Koh creates handmade books and zines, prints, photographs, sculptures, performances, and installations. He first gained notoriety for his website and zine titled asianpunkboy, which, in his own words, are “filled with an infusion of gentle surfaces, dissident eruptions, haikus, mapped pictures, dirty illustrations, moist cum, decadent artificial words, love and all manner of faggy filth.”
Koh's description indicates both the diversity of his art and the queer, punk, and pornographic sensibilities that inform his creations. He reappropriates images from the Internet, magazines, and other artists in the service of a personal exploration that is by turn innocently sweet and rugged.

The Whole Family (2003), Koh's first solo exhibition at peres projects in Los Angeles, divided the gallery's main space and basement into two separate environments. The ground floor completely empty, featured a 3-inch-wide peephole drilled into the floor with a small ladder dangling below.

The Bunny with Bite
By Ana Finel Honigman

Ana Finel Honigman: Are you engaging the same conceptual meat with your websites’ Dionysian porn and pop-culture focus and your installations' calming aesthetic or are these wholly separate facets of your artistic personality?
Terence Koh: You see, or cannot, that I am a two headed beast. I am both hairless albino wolf and rabbit with a pink uni-horn. A two-headed beast is harder to kill and has twice the teeth.
AFH: Do rabbits even have teeth?
TK: Oh yes! Bunnies have the sharpest teeth. They need it to bite evil art critics!
AFH: Cute. I guess that makes sense since you’ve been living in rough places like New York and London but now you are in LA and your current work, with its Zen and cum juxtapositions, has a particularly West Coast sensibility.
TK: “Zen and cum esthetic” makes it sound like I do work that would entice rich Beverly hill's women who do yoga, practice s/m, decorate their backyards with pretty Japanese stones or phallic water fountains and who also collect art. Actually that pretty much describes my ideal collector. I think my work is particularly well suited to be installed within the backyards of LA.
