Produktbeschreibung

Suki Seokyeong Kang's practice traverses painting, sculpture,installation, as well as video and performance toexplore the interplay between the individual and the collective.By developing an artistic vocabulary that drawsfrom the rich heritage of Korean painting, poetry anddance, Kang's oeuvre examines the durability of traditionsand expands their significance to contemporary art.
The catalogue, accompanying her solo exhibition WillowDrum Oriole at Leeum Museum of Art, proposes to readKang's practice through a range of varying discourses,such as the status of traditional Korean painting in contemporaryart, feminism, and the narratives of theWestern avant-garde. Taking the artist's foundationalpainting practice as a point of departure, the cataloguefeatures a new body of work and charts the developmentof Kang's artistic language.

Based in Seoul, SUKI SEOKYEONG KANG (_1977) studied Painting at Ewha Womans University in Seoul and at London's Royal College of Art. In 2018, Kang won the Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel. She has had solo exhibitions at Buk-Seoul Museum of Art (2019-2020), MUDAM Luxembourg (2018), ICA Philadelphia (2018) and her works have been featured in group exhibitions at MCA Chicago (2021), the Venice Biennale (2019), the Shanghai Biennale (2018), the Gwangju Biennale (2018), and the Liverpool Biennial (2018).
