Depends on what you're trying to achieve.
With ssh, you can run this to execute the application remotely but have
it displayed locally:
$ ssh -Y <remote_host> <application>
If you want it to be displayed remotely as well, you'll want to look
into VNC
Also, maybe you want to run the application locally but use remote user
profile. Then you can map remote path to a local directory with sshfs
and point the local application to the data (it will appear to any
application as if it were local).
