KOO JEONG A

KOO JEONG A incorporates inter-subjective phenomena, digital features and timely imaginaries into sculpture, painting, film, animation, sound and scent, to reinvent the architectural space. The artist’s site-specific reconfigurations open up narrative portals, where various media are combined with natural elements, playing with the idea of correlations.

KOO has participated in various international exhibitions including La Biennale di Venezia, Liverpool Biennale, Gwangju Biennale, The Jewish Museum (New York, USA), The Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris, France), and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Seoul, Korea). The artist was a finalist for the Hugo Boss Prize in 2002, won the Hermès Korea Prize for contemporary art in 2005, and was named as 2016 Artist of the Year by the Korean Cultural Centre UK.
