"For his first solo museum show in the United States, Terence Koh is creating a new installation for the Whitney’s Lobby Gallery. In Koh’s immersive, typically monochromatic environments—in which minimalist and baroque aspects of his sensibility vie for dominance—a seemingly unknown ritual is about to take place, where a sense of loss simultaneously suggests regeneration. From drifting powder silencing rooms, and constellations of cryptically linked objects that move from literally disjunctive realms (upstairs/downstairs, inside/outside, dark/light) as well as more conceptual ones, to pristine, perfectly crafted containers that become coffins for shattered glass and mirror, the glitter of black beads, burnt objects, residing within—Koh’s gestures evoke isolation and secrecy, but also protection and ecstasy." - Whitney Museum
