Biography
Sun K. Kwak (b. South Korea) is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist. She creates works that are thematically connected but take on different forms and formats from performance to animation to sculpture with various materials. Sun K. Kwak's art breaks traditional boundaries by blending dimensions and mediums, using techniques like tearing, cutting, and wrapping to transform flat surfaces into three-dimensional forms. She uses materials like tape, plastic, wire, mirror, metal, found objects to create intricate drawings that extend beyond two-dimensional spaces, changing the perception of their surroundings. Kwak's work converts the potential mass of layers of time into a physical plane, and explores concepts such as chaos and order, the unconscious and conscious, with these elements fluidly interchanging. Additionally, by intertwining the material and spiritual elements of the creative process, she establishes metaphorical connections between various dimensions, merging imagination with reality, thereby generating a unique dialogue between art and its environment.
Kwak has had site specific solo exhibitions in places such as Brooklyn Museum (New York), Queens Museum (Bulova, New York),New Art Gallery (Walsall, England), the Carleton University Art Gallery (Ottawa, Canada), the Charles B. Wang Center (Stony Brook University, New York), Gallery Skape (Seoul, Korea) Group exhibitions include Jeju Museum of Art, Korea, the 17th Architecture Venice Biennale at St. Clemente Palace Kempinski (Venice, Italy), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Korea), the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (Taichung, Taiwan), Asian Art Museum (San Francisco), “Works & Process” a collaborative drawing performance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), and the 6th Gwangju Biennale (Korea).

대한민국 서울출생, Sun K. Kwak ( 곽선경) 은 뉴욕을 기반으로 활동하는 interdisciplinary 아티스트이다. 그녀는 주제적으로 연결되어 있지만 다양한 재료를 사용하여 퍼포먼스에서 드로잉, 설치, 조각에 이르기까지 다양한 형식을 취하여 작업을 한다. 곽선경 작가는 차원과 매체를 혼합하고, 찢기, 말기, 감싸기와 같은 기법을 사용하여 평면을 3차원 형태로 변형시켜 전통적인 경계를 깨뜨린다. 테이프, 플라스틱, 와이어, 거울, 금속, 발견된 오브제 등의 재료를 사용하여 두 차원을 넘어서는 다양한 작업으로, 주변 환경에 대한 인식을 변화시킨다. 곽의 작업은 시간의 층의 잠재적 질량을 물리적 평면으로 변환하고, 혼돈과 질서, 무의식과 의식, 이러한 요소들을 교환하며 상호 작용과 같은 개념을 탐구한다. 또한 상상력과 현실, 작업과정의 물질적 요소와 영적 요소를 결합하여 다양한 차원 간의 은유적 연결을 만들어내며, 이를 통해 예술과 그 환경 간의 독특한 대화를 창출한다.
