Born in China and currently based in the United States, Hong Hong works across image-making, writing, and movement through repetition, disruption, duration, accumulation, limitation, and translation. Her practice is structured around recurrent, interconnected temporal systems, notating and responding to shifts in meteorological conditions, solar and lunar periodicities, seasonal intervals, migratory patterns, and the body. Through paper-making, performance, language, painting, and lens-based media, she engages lineages in craft and modes of poetic transmission to produce as well as sustain varied forms of subjectivity. This subjectivity is unruly and at times illegible, refusing governance. Instead, it persists as a conceptual and material field rooted in multiplicity and transcendence.
Hong Hong is the recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts (2025), Chiaro Award in Painting at Headlands Center for the Arts (2025), Tulsa Artist Fellowship (2024 - 2026), United States Artists Fellowship in Craft (2023), and Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in Painting (2023). Her work has been presented in exhibitions at Real Art Ways, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Diverseworks, Oklahoma Contemporary, Georgia Museum of Art, Ortega Y Gasset Projects, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, NXTHVN, Fitchburg Art Museum, Tephra Institute for Contemporary Art, San Francisco Center for Book Arts, Sarasota Art Museum, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Akron Art Museum, Texas Asia Society, and University of Texas at Dallas, among others. She has participated in residencies at MacDowell, Vermont Studio Center, McColl Center for Art + Innovation, Yaddo, and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
