Ivan Ko is a London-based artist and creative practitioner. Grounded in contemporary art production and curatorial thinking, his practice examines how bodies are shaped, regulated, and archived through systems of labour, memory, and public space.

Working with objects, material residues, and processes of making—alongside research and digital techniques such as 3D scanning and casting—Ko develops works that operate within the tension between absence and presence, repair and erasure, intimacy and control. These projects attend to the politics of visibility: what is maintained, what is displaced, and what gradually becomes imperceptible through repetition and institutional logic.

A questioning structure is central to his practice. Works often take the form of open-ended prompts or titles, functioning as conceptual thresholds rather than conclusions. These questions shape how the work is encountered, inviting viewers to pause, sense, and renegotiate their position in relation to what is shown, withheld, or left unresolved.

Ko is currently based in London and studying at the Royal College of Art. He previously co-founded THE SHOPHOUSE and UNVEIL, where he served as Creative Director, leading multiple exhibition projects and cross-disciplinary contemporary art initiatives.
