Kimsooja
Kimsooja is an international conceptual artist exploring the totality of life and art, transcending distinctions of medium and form through works of painting, sewing, installation, performance, video, light, and sound. In the 1980s, she began to experiment with alternative modes of expression while contemplating the two-dimensional structure of painting, leading to a series of sewing works that revealed a dualistic order of the vertical and horizontal as the foundation of the world. This discovery led her to expand her practice from material form to intangible and experiential aspects, emphasising presence and process over traditional methods of creation.
Her works and site-specific installations have been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, including at Bourse de Commerce, Paris (2024), PERSBERICHT Humboldt Forum, Berlin (2024), Cisternerne/Frederiksbergmuseerne, Denmark (2023), Cathédrale Saint-Etienne de Metz (2022), Wanås Konst, Sweden (2020), Traversées/Kimsooja, Poitiers (2019), Peabody Essex Museum (2019), Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Chapel (2019), Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (2017), Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (2015), Centre Pompidou Metz (2015), Vancouver Art Gallery (2013), Palacio de Cristal, Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid (2006), EMST, Athens (2005), Kunstpalast Düsseldorf (2004), MAC Lyon (2003), PAC Milan (2003), Kunsthalle Wien (2002), Kunsthalle Bern (2001), and MoMA PS1, New York (2001). Biennial and triennial participation includes BienalSUR (2021, 2023), Documenta14 (2017), Venice Biennale (1999, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2013), Gwangju Biennale (1995, 2000, 2012), Lyon Biennale (2000), Sao Paulo Biennial (1998), Istanbul Biennial (1997), and Manifesta 1 (1996).
