Author: Young, Chun Kwang
Korean artist Chun Kwang Young is best known for his textured paper sculptures. Taking mulberry paper (the making of which is an ancient Korean craft) as his primary medium, Young creates large creaturely entities steeped in cultural and historical symbolism. Accompanying the exhibition at Palazzo Polignac at the 59th Venice Biennale, this title features more than 150 colour images from his oeuvre alongside essays by scholars, curators and philosophers.His works resemble living beings: gigantic mushrooms, deformed insects or viruses. In evoking these life forms, the artist stages a performance that is both ritualistic and aesthetic—one that reflects on the interconnection between living beings, biodiversity and the life cycle.
