ART BASEL HONG KONG 2022

The work presented at the fair “Saekdong Cloud” is made with Saekdong, a traditional multicolored fabric from Korea. On top of the stretched fabric, KIM paints a cloud with traditional Korean ink, which reflects the artist’s attitude of living like the clouds, roaming freely above today’s fast paced society. Finding creative impulses from laziness, she discovers the essence of life and its infinite possibilities. This series was conceived shortly after her collaborative performance with Nam June PAIK in 1984, underlining the intellectual exchange among the experimental artists during the era.
