Ivy Ma King Chu (b. 1973) received her MA Degree of Feminist Theory and Practice in Visual Art at University of Leeds in UK in 2002 and Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in 2001. Cultivating an aesthetic characterized by quietness and stillness, MA’s work becomes a philosophical reflection on nature and history. Looking, collecting, drawing and thinking, she works her way through history to find what we might call "the human thread" running through everything. The objects she collects, the images she selects, and the occasional photographs and videos she produces all strike a similar chord, one that is at once uncanny, disturbing and beautiful. Participated exhibitions include "Think Of Wind" (Touch Gallery, Hong Kong, 2021), "Poems, days, death"  (Lumenvisum, Hong Kong, 2020),  “As Time Folds” As Time Folds” (Art and Culture Outreach, Hong Kong, 2018), “Last Year” (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2015), group exhibition "Objects Lie On A Table" (City Hall, Hong Kong, 2021), “The Space Between the Words Are Almost Infinite“ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2020), "Drawing as the Core" (Koo Ming Kown Exhibition Gallery, Hong Kong Baptist University, 2020), “By the Window” (1a Space, Hong Kong, 2018), “Collections of Tom, Debbie and Harry“ (Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong, 2018). MA currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
