A talk between Sunah Choi and Jan Wenzel. Live music by Jan Verwoert & Dominique.
Sunah Choi's new monograph brings together works the artist has made over the last five years, revealing a process of development that is defined both by continuity and by productive contingency: while Choi's interest in spatial (re)organisation is an abiding feature of her oeuvre, each work plays with specific antitheses. The artist is currently formulating the latter with a particular focus on materials such as glass, wood, and metal, used to develop scenarios and objects that oscillate between sculpture, architecture, and interiors.
The book begins with a sequence of graphic compositions that probe formal and aesthetic affinities between individual works; this is followed by a selection of exhibition views and a photo-performative series. The publication includes an interview with the artist and two essays as well as a richly illustrated catalogue raisonné.
Sunah Choi (b. 1968 in Busan, Korea) was awarded the Hannah-Höch Förderpreis in 2018. She lives and works in Berlin.
