Kenneth Constance Loe (he/they) is an artist, writer, and performer from Singapore, and currently based in Vienna, Austria. They are a cofounder of Monzoom.xyz, an online platform for emergent art practices and alternative education co-organized with Weixin Quek Chong, and soft/WALL/studs, a former collaborative project in Singapore involving several artists, writers, filmmakers, art workers, and researchers. They are also a collaborator of holiday poets society, a Vienna-based poetry collective, and Lazy Library, a queer-feminist open library project in Vienna.

Their practice revolves around material and sensorial fetishes of desire, poetics of hospitality, body memory, queer ecologies, and other tangential thoughts through a performative collocation of sculpture, video, movement, text, and olfactory objects. They have presented their work in cities including Vienna, Sofia, Yogyakarta, Tallinn, New York, Brussels, and Auckland. Their poetry manuscript sun-dried air was a finalist in the 2022 Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize, and their poetry has recently been published in the anthology New Singapore Poetries (Gaudy Boy, 2022).
