Ju Young Kim's first institutional solo exhibition opens in June at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. New works by the artist will be presented in an expansive innstallation. The exhibition is curated by Dorothea Lorenz.
Ju Young Kim (*1991, Seoul, KR) explores transitional states and transit zones in her sculptures and installations by combining industrial transportation modules from airplanes and cars into symbolically encoded works. She blends these with stained glass, cast metal, ceramics and plastic, thus bringing together high-tech objects with hand crafts techniques. The works are characterized by surreal elements that have been extracted from their original context and open up a new perspective on the phenomena of the globalized world.
