Work

With a background in architecture early works focused on the relationship between sculpture and the built environment, often shown within the public space, such as Test Flights. [1] at the Economist Plaza, London commissioned by the Contemporary Art Society and large-scale installations that challenged the architectural envelope of gallery spaces. [2] [3] This later led to an ongoing series of works that consider air as a physical presence within architectural volumes, instead of a void, as seen with 24-hour performance Exhaust [4] and the installation A roomful of Air. [5]

Recent works have often engaged collaboration with scientists and the public located around the globe to reconsider concepts of material and spatial perception in connection with the body, community, and wider society in the context of the Anthropocene. This collaborative approach is evident within the work International Airspace [6] (2019–20) a new airspace created through collaboration with 27 countries.

He has undertaken residencies at the European Ceramic Work Centre, Fonds Belval Luxembourg, Kunstdepot Switzerland, Pangea Sculpture Centre, and University College London. He is represented by Copperfield, London and Michela Rizzo, Venice.

His work has been exhibited at Fortuny Museum, [7] Venice, Castlefield Gallery, [8] Manchester, Museum Kranenburgh, [9] Netherlands, Kielder Art & Architecture, [10] The Jerwood Space, London, NEST, The Hague, Weizmann Institute, Tel Aviv, Round the Clock, 54th Venice Biennale, [11] Venice, Royal Society, London [12]

Kimsooja was born in Daegu, South Korea. Kimsooja is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist who travels between her three homes and places of work in New York City, Paris, and Seoul. In 1980 Kim graduated with a B.F.A in Painting from Hong-Ik University, Seoul and continued to pursue her M.F.A there, obtaining the degree in 1984 at the age of 27. Her origin as a painter was a crucial starting point for the development of her art. That same year, she received a scholarship to study art at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, where she studied Printmaking. Her first solo exhibition was held in 1988 at Gallery Hyundai, Seoul. Currently, her work is featured in countless international museums and galleries as well as public art fairs and other spaces. Her practice combines performance, film, photo, and site-specific installation using textile, light, and sound. Kimsooja's work investigates questions concerning the conditions of humanity, while engaging issues of aesthetics, culture, politics, and the environment. Her principle of ‘non-doing’ and ‘non-making,’ which follows a conceptual and structural investigation of performance through modes of mobility and immobility, inverts the notion of the artist as the predominant actor.
