Cole Lu lives and works in New York. Working across sculpture, installation, drawing, and writing, Lu’s practice explores myth, memory, and the architectures of displacement. His work engages material translation through wood burning, fire, linen, copper, found objects, and concrete, materializing poetics of survival, orientation, and coded refusal. Language operates as text and texture, carving lexicons into matter and myth into structure. Lu presented the solo project The Engineers at the 2024 Bangkok Art Biennale. His solo exhibitions include at Herald St, London; the Institute of Contemporary Art at MECA, Portland; and the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. Recent and forthcoming exhibitions include at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo; the University of Applied Arts Vienna; Aranya Art Center, Qinhuangdao; Bortolami, New York; Kunsthal N, Copenhagen; and Nova Contemporary, Bangkok.
