Eugene Choi is a performance-based artist whose practice has evolved around the physicality of constructing internal and external structures working across sculpture, performance, installation, video and text. Often influenced by the body in movement, Choi’s practice travels between controlled and uncontrolled states by engaging herself in unfamiliar, yet composed situations, relying on the live response of her physical and emotional body. A self-made system of geometry becomes integral between objects, bodies and space, attempting to achieve equilibrium. Her work has been performed and exhibited at Carriageworks, Underbelly Arts Festival, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Firstdraft Gallery. She regularly performs with other artists including Ivan Cheng, Angela Goh, Agatha Goethe-Snape, Xavier Le Roy and Scarlet Yu and Marina Abramovic. Choi is a current recipient of the Artspace Studio One Year Residency Program.

She has exhibited and performed at Sydney Opera House, Next Wave Festival, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Australian Centre for Contemporary art, Carriageworks, ACE Open, Banff Centre Canada, Art Central Hong Kong, Art Basel Hong Kong, DARK MOFO Tasmania, Underbelly Arts Festival, and Sydney Contemporary among many others.
