Alice Hope (b. 1966, Hong Kong) received an M.F.A. from Yale University, and shows at Ricco Maresca Gallery in Manhattan. She has exhibited since the late 1980s and was named 2018 “Woman to Watch” for New York by the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Hope has created numerous public and residential commissions, among them a large-scale magnetic installation, “Under the Radar”, in 2012 at Camp Hero State Park in Montauk, NY for the Parrish Art Museum. In 2013, Hope was commissioned by the Armory Show Project to create two public works, and she inaugurated WNYC Greene Space’s new lobby with an installation of neodymium magnets. She was an artist in residence at the Museum of Art and Design from 2014-15, and then built a six-month site-specific installation outside the Queens Museum with more than a million used can tabs. In 2018, she had a one person show at Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington had three of her installations on view. In 2019, she was commissioned by Art in Embassies to build an installation for the new U.S. Embassy lobby in Maputo, Mozambique that will be installed in 2020, and in Fall 2020 she is showing at Ricco Maresca. Surge is Hope’s first exhibition with Tripoli Gallery. She lives and works in East Hampton, NY.
