- 1 Want to read
Kimsooja is a South Korean multi-disciplinary conceptual artist. This catalogue marks the occasion of her site-specific installation and exhibition at CAC Málaga. Considering her country's rapid transformation into a modern economic powerhouse, Kimsooja's work addresses complex questions of human existence in this process: essential, fragile aspects of life, such as ritual and ceremony, that are interrupted or sacrificed. In her oeuvre, individualism and the role of women point to themes of respect for others and a sense of (global) humanity as she generates convergences that stress human emotions, without taking borders or places of origin into account.

Book Details
Edition Notes
Originally issued in slipcase.
Part of an annual series of monographic exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Korea, this fascinating volume features the multidisciplinary conceptual artist Kimsooja. Her unique oeuvre combines locality and universality in videos, photographs, performances, and site-specific installations. She explores the human condition while addressing cultural and social issues, including migration, refugees, opposing identities, and the environment, investigating these concepts through multiple genres, materials, and methodologies. This catalogue focuses on acts of creation and processes, as the exhibition made active use of viewer participation.
Includes a conversation between Kimsooja and Hou Hanru and essays by Steven Henry Madoff, KimSung Won and Suh Younghee.
