The Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College is presenting a survey of the work of the Singaporean visual artist and filmmaker Ho Tzu Nyen. The exhibition, titled Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger, marks [the first in-depth examination of the artist's work held in the United States](https://ccs.bard.edu/museum/exhibitions/743-ho-tzu-nyen-time-the-tiger?ref=kinoki.co). The show includes the US debuts of the video installations *T for Time* and *T for Time: Timepieces*.

Hessel Museum of Art is showing five seminal multimedia installations that Ho Tzu Nyen has created over the past twenty years. In each of them, the artist covers different aspects and issues which are characteristic of the Southeast Asian socio-cultural milieu. He relies on historical events, documentary footage, art history and mythical stories to investigate the plurality of identities that distinguish the region.

*T for Time* and *T for Time: Timepieces* (2023-ongoing) were co- commissioned by Singapore Art Museum and Art Sonje Center with M+, in collaboration with Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo and Sharjah Art Foundation. Both of these works uncover the differing approaches to time and timekeeping that distinguish Asia from the Western cultural matrix that prevails in the world today.

Ho Tzu Nyen engages with film, video art, performance and multimedia installations. He is represented by Kiang Malingue, a contemporary art gallery in Hong Kong. Ho Tzu Nyen has most recently held solo exhibitions at Singapore Art Museum, Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Toyota Municipal Museum of Art and [Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo](https://www.kinoki.co/museum-of-contemporary-art-tokyo-solo-exhibition-ho-tzu-nyen/).
