Kim Sooja

The National Museum of Contemporary Art presents the exhibition of the Korean born artist Kimsooja. The exhibition, under the title Kimsooja, Journey into the World, is currently presented at the exhibition space of the new wing of The Athens Concert Hall and will last until May 29th.

This is the first solo exhibition of Kimsooja in Greece. It includes some of the most important installations and video installations created in the last decade as well as a sound installation. Kimsooja was born in 1957 in Taegu, Korea. She studied painting at the Hong-Ik University of Seoul (1980-1984) and the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux- Arts in Paris ( 1984-1985). She lives and works in New York.

In her work, elements of Korean culture are interwoven in poetic ways with contemporary artistic means of expression, such as installations, performances and electronic media. The topics that can be traced in her works are the conditions of existence and communication in the framework of globalization, the nomadic way of life, migration as well as the position and role of women in contemporary society.
