Description

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.

First Sentence

Since the 1980s, between thread and needle, Kim Sooja's work has been developing; from Korea to New York, via Paris and a number of other cities across the different continents, like an avowed metaphor of the act of sewing.
