Germaine Koh - Canadian Artists

Germaine Koh (born 1967) is a Malaysian born globally active Canadian artist. At the age of two she immigrated to Canada.
She is an abstract artist working out of Vancouver, B.C., self-described as having “no fixed address” whose art included usage of everyday objects and familiar concepts into her work. Her work is known to the world and she has been shown at many galleries, plus the Art Gallery of Alberta in 2004, Frankfurter Kunstverein during 2003, and Bloomberg SPACE during 2003 and in many other renowned galleries across globe.
Her work could be characterized by public communication and also everyday concepts. For example, one of her latest works “Call” is a very old telephone in a public space. When the phone is picked up it arbitrarily dials a number of a participant, which had agreed to have conversations with strangers at any time of the day.
There isn’t a typical “Germaine Koh” piece - she utilizes many other different materials for every piece she creates, yet each piece encompasses a real ideology, perhaps best said by Koh herself in a Rhizome.org Interview.
