Multi-disciplinary artist, New York City
Residency Period: 06/03/24 - 07/26/24
Exhibition opening: 07/26/24
Lexy Ho-Tai is a Chinese-Canadian multi-disciplinary artist and educator whose work explores world-building through craft and play. Working in a range of mediums, her collaborative and participatory work often employs humor, imagination, and absurdity to invite viewers to contemplate pressing social and environmental issues. Monsters, celebration of otherness, and tending to the inner child are recurring themes in her work. She believes that joy is an act of resistance, and that play forges a powerful space to envision and work towards alternative futures.
Lexy has had solo shows at the Museum of Arts and Design and Flux Factory, and has also shown work at the Abrons Art Center, The Highline, and Little Berlin. She is a core member of eco-theater groups Superhero Clubhouse and Agile Rascal Bicycle Touring Theatre. Past residencies include Watermill Center, Flux Factory, ARoS Museum, Everglades National Park, Art Farm, Elsewhere Museum, Wassaic Project, Vermont Studio Center and the Museum of Arts and Design, where she was a Van Lier Fellow.
