With contributions by David Michael DiGregorio (aka dogr)
Opening: Fri, November 22, 2024, 7 pm
 
On November 23, ZKM | Karlsruhe will present a major solo exhibition of the work of the South Korean artist Sung Hwan Kim, who lives in Hawaiʻi. Kim assumes the position of storyteller in his exhibitions to interpret history through the senses and embody and distil ideas and emotions that seem inexpressible. His multi-sensory spatial installations make use of video, drawing, light, sculpture, and architecture as well as performance and music — which is developed in close collaboration with the musician and composer David Michael DiGregorio. The exhibition was originally created for the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven with a prelude at Framer Framed, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The artist has now restaged it for ZKM. The exhibition is financially supported by the Korean Art Management Service (KAMS) in the program "Korean Art Abroad."
