Jukhee Kwon in conversation with Gerard Houghton, Director of Special Projects

18 Mar 2023 3-4.30pm

October Gallery
London WC1N 3AL

Overview

Kwon’s primary material comes from unused and abandoned books, which, by skilful slicing and precision cutting, she converts into captivating sculptures that inhabit their surroundings. Kwon completed her BA Degree in Fine Art at Chung-Ang University, Seoul in 2005 and achieved her Master’s Degree in Book Arts at Camberwell College of Arts, London, in 2012. Kwon first exhibited at October Gallery in 2013, and the same year the Gallery presented her large-scale installation Arabesque Dream, created from seventeen books, at Abu Dhabi Art Fair. She lives and works in Italy.
