Press Release

Installed in the New Museum’s OMA-designed elevators, Hyundai Translocal Series: Ho Tzu Nyen is a new site-specific exhibition by the Singapore-based artist. P for Power: Up Down (2026) is the latest iteration in an ongoing series where Ho explores notions of power, from political and technological systems to more fluid notions of endurance, transformation, and agency. The work presents meditations on power across disparate cultural contexts in the form of questions, mantras, or riddles delivered by digitally rendered Singaporean children. Presented in partnership with Hyundai Motor Company as part of the Hyundai Translocal Series, this work will run in parallel with the artist’s commission P for Power: Double life of P (2026) at the Ulsan Art Museum in South Korea.

Hyundai Translocal Series: Ho Tzu Nyen is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Toby Devan Lewis Director, and Gary Carrion-Murayari, Kraus Family Senior Curator, with Taeyi Kim, Curatorial Fellow. The Ulsan Art Museum iteration of the partnership is curated by Director Changsub Lim and Curator Kyungah Kweon.

About the Artist

Ho Tzu Nyen was born in Singapore in 1976. He earned a BA in Creative Arts from Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne (2001), and an MA in Southeast Asian Studies from the National University of Singapore (2007). He works primarily in film, video, and performance, and has recently developed environmental multimedia installations. He has also written extensively on art. Ho appropriates the structures of epic myths, invoking their grandeur while revealing them to be not merely stories, but discursive tools.
