Chung Seoyoung is a sculptor who has pioneered the discourse and the artistic practice around 'things' and their status and relations in flux over time, and is regarded as a representative artist who demonstrated the turn towards contemporaneity in the 1990s Korean art scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore than an exhibition documentation, the publication traces how the problems of the world that the artist deals with have transitioned by considering Chung Seoyoung's sculptural practice in both synchronic and diachronic manner. In the artist's engagement with the physical paths through which the world is perceived, and her interest in things as manifestations of the world's relations converted into matter, Chung expands the scope of sculpture and simultaneously searches for ways to remember the vernacular of sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes essays written by art historian Jihan Jang, curator and art historian Chus Martinez, and writer and critic Marina Vishmidt, along with a conversation with artist Sung Hwan Kim. Their in-depth research and diverse perspectives not only put forth novel interpretations of \u003cem\u003eChung Seoyoung\u003c\/em\u003e's oeuvre but also recast both subtle and major shifts in Korean contemporary art that is yet to be widely discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430282936556,"sku":"9788857248561","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857248561.jpg?v=1774559278","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/chung-seoyoung-9788857248561","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
