Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present Korean multidisciplinary artist Kimsooja's (b.1957, Daegu) first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. The exhibition will feature the artist’s video and sound installation Thread Routes - Chapter III, a series of textile works with indigo Indian block prints, lightboxes recalling her critically acclaimed installations, and her most recent work using nanopolymer on glass, Meta-Painting.

Kimsooja’s artistic practice combines performance, video, photo, and site-specific installations that address formalistic questions of painting as well as existential issues of the human condition, such as migration, poverty, violence, and the displaced self. Her principle of ‘non-doing’ and ‘non-making’ follows an investigation of performance through modes of mobility and immobility, and inverts the notion of the artist as the predominant actor.

Opening with the artist in presence: Saturday 18 March 2023, 2 – 6 PM

Gallery address: 21F, Coda Designer Centre, 62 Wong Chuk Hang Road
