This year's Korean Artists Today features Minae Kim, known for her site-specific installations that humorously address life’s contradictions. Born in Seoul, Kim’s artistic journey was deeply influenced by her studies in London, where cultural contrasts shifted her perspective. Her work, described as a "ludicrous sculptural sitcom," communicates the frustrations individuals face, combined with a keen focus on spatiality and temporality. Kim’s approach emphasizes the semiotic process of everyday objects and speaks to the nuances lost in translation, showing how language shapes both form and meaning in art.
Minae Kim's site-specific installations blend humor and depth, tackling life's contradictions and frustrations, encapsulated in her concept of a "ludicrous sculptural sitcom."
Having studied in both Seoul and London, Kim's dual perspective enriches her approach to sculpture, helping her explore new meanings and abstract ideas.
Kim emphasizes that speaking a foreign language enhances her artistic expression, as it allows her to abstract language while grappling with its cultural contexts.
Her works focus on the semiotic interactions between everyday objects and the evocative scenes they create, influencing audience perception in unique ways.
