“Perhaps best known in New York City for the incomparably upbeat grotesquerie of the over-sized kitty litter pan at the last Whitney Biennial, LA-based multimedia and installation artist Amanda Ross-Ho returns the Big Apple for her first solo show here. Pulling from her considerable lexicon of personal memory and art historical influences, Ross-Ho is fairly omnivorous when it comes to materials; often incorporating found and made photographs, advertisements, seemingly random objects of great hidden significance, and functional remnants of her studio practice into large-scale installations. Not content to merely grace the surface of her exhibition spaces, however, Ross-Ho also has a penchant for incorporating and even modifying (as in, destroying) the gallery architecture, the better to imprint her presence and create a fresh layer of visceral memory.”

Mitchell-Innes & Nash says:
SOMEBODY STOP ME is the first New York solo exhibition for Los Angeles artist Amanda Ross-Ho. Ross-Ho's work brings together seemingly oppositional languages and spaces: personal imagery and autobiographical artifacts are mined for formal qualities; traces and residues from studio practices are meticulously re-created as deliberate gestures; boundaries between private work and public display are collapsed. SOMEBODY STOP ME uses sculpture, photographs, paintings, and engagement with the gallery's architecture to define terms of a constantly evolving personal language.
