Inaugurating a biannual partnership with DOOSAN Art Center in Seoul, Korea, this exhibition aims to introduce young and emerging Korean contemporary artists to New York audiences. The six artists in this group exhibition utilize installation, video, painting, and sculpture to contend with questions of the body and embodied space through post-capitalist, feminist, and queer lenses. 

The artists selected for this iteration of the program are: Yagwang, eobchae, Rondi Park, Hyun Nahm, Eunseol Kim, and Young-jun Tak.

This exhibition is curated by Sarah H. Cho, Associate Curator at Queens Museum; Hyejung Jang, Chief Curator at DOOSAN Art Center; and Jinyoung You, Curator at DOOSAN Art Center.

The DOOSAN International Exhibition in partnership with Queens Museum is made possible by lead support from the DOOSAN Yonkang Foundation.

About the DOOSAN Art Center and the Foundation:  Established in 1978, the name of the foundation is derived from “Yonkang” Too-Pyung Park, the first chairman of the DOOSAN Group to inherit and promote his spirit of social contribution. Park was a pioneer in the era in which enterprises began to awaken to their corporate social responsibility and DOOSAN is the longest-running business group in Korea.

In 2007, DOOSAN Art Center was established in celebration of the 111th anniversary of the DOOSAN Yonkang Foundation. DOOSAN Art Center has played a pivotal role in developing and presenting the work of pioneering emerging artists and career experimenters in Korea. DOOSAN Art Center offers a wide range of programs, including exhibitions, theater, performances, and educational activities with the aim of fostering new artistic productions in both visual and performing arts, enriching public appreciation of art, and building a global network for Korean contemporary art.

Hyun Nahm (b. 1990, South Korea) draws on the concept of “miniscapes” (縮景) to sculpturally compress contemporary landscapes and reveal them in condensed form.

Eunseol Kim (b. 1988, South Korea) works across drawing, installation, video, and performance and reconfigures the relationship between sensation and language.

Recent solo exhibitions include Post Territory Ujeongguk, Seoul, KR (2023); Cheongju Art Studio, Cheongju, KR (2020). Kim has exhibited her work in group exhibitions at National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, KR (2025); Busan Museum of Contemporary Art, Busan, KR (2025); Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, KR (2025); Arko Art Center, Seoul, KR (2024); among others. 

Rondi Park (b. 1993, South Korea) engages with various media including textiles, performance, and ceramics to amplify personal history into social phenomena. Park explores the aesthetic power of zaniness, cuteness, and curiosity, weaving narratives that mediate the relationship between emotions and society through desire or longing. She has exhibited her work internationally, including solo shows at Malpais, Barcelona, ES (2025); Lokal Int, Biel, CH (2024); WHITE NOISE, Seoul, KR (2021).
