Biography
Germaine Koh is a visual artist and curator based in Vancouver, in the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Koh’s work adapts familiar situations, everyday actions and common spaces to encourage connections between people, technology, and natural systems. Her most recent public art commissions are Still Flowing, a wind-driven work commemorating the return of spawning salmon to Burnaby, BC, and Errant Rain Cloud (with Gordon Hicks), mechanisms that replicate the natural rain cycle within the atmosphere of the Minoru Aquatic Centre in Richmond, BC. Koh’s ongoing projects include Home Made Home, an initiative to build and advocate for alternative forms of housing, and League, a participatory project using play as a form of creative practice.
