Artist’s career

She graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in biochemistry in 1990 and from the Ontario College of Art with a degree in visual arts in 1994.
Her work has been exhibited at the second CAFAM Biennial, the 17th Sydney Biennale, the Saatchi Gallery, and the Whitechapel Gallery in London. She published an artist’s novel titled Berty in 2013, as well as a science fiction anthology, Dark Fluid, in which she used science fiction as a tool for social justice.
In 2014, Su was featured in Art Radar on a list of influential Asian female artists making an impact on the international art scene. She is representing Hong Kong in the collateral event at the 59th International Art Exhibition—La Biennale di Venezia—with a solo exhibition titled Angela Su: Arise, Hong Kong in Venice.

Angela Su’s works investigate the perception and imagery of the body, through metamorphosis, hybridity, and transformation. Her research-based projects materialize in drawing, video, hair embroidery, performative, and installation works. Central to these projects are video essays and texts where she embodies different alter-egos, weaving together fiction and facts, reality, and fantasy. Frequently reimagining and metamorphosing the female mind and body to create sites of resistance against the injustices in our social system, Su pushes the capacity of bodies to withstand violence and bear pain, to be possessed and taken over, and thus to transform and bear witness.
