Yoon Hyangro

Yoon is a Korean artist who held her first solo exhibition Short-cuts in 2012 and second solo exhibition Blasted (Land)scape in 2014. By re-arranging images chosen from popular media, she attempts to suggest new layers between images. She has been producing works in print and video, approaching them as mostly paintings. But lately she has been contemplating making structures with physical properties by piling on invisible layers. In describing her work, she likes the phrase “quasi-painting.”

SeMA Biennale Mediacity Seoul 2016 will host the second Open Editorial Meeting since the first one held last winter. The meeting is in association with the non-periodical publication COULD BE. The Open Editorial Meeting 2, led by Keiko Sei the editor in charge of COULD BE 2, will be an open discussion with an audience of diverse backgrounds, including teenagers. The moderator of the meeting will be the artist Yoon Hyangro, who contributed the essay “Childhood’s End” to COULD BE NO.1 and has gained experience teaching teenagers while introducing COULD BE NO. 2 in the field. During the meeting, you will have an online video chat with the Thai high school student Parit Chiwarak whose interview about protesting against the educational policy of the Thai military government was published in COULD BE NO. 2.
