KOO JEONG A

  • Permanent installation
Korean artist KOO JEONG A has created a glow in the dark full scale skatepark, which is installed on the public terrace adjacent to The Tower. The skating bowls are painted with fluorescent paint that illuminates the entire structure at night, creating different light conditions. The work is based on the idea of play and performativity and essential elements of contemporary culture, and the skatepark is an evidence of what it means to play with a specific intention and very real skills. Skating is also a choreography in space, with its own speed and movements. Skaters’ bodies achieve remarkable positions of balance, endeavour and endurance and are offering radical new perspectives in the experience of architectural space as we know it.

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.
