Suki Seokyeong Kang’s (1977-2025) research-driven practice spanned across media, incorporating sculpture, painting, video, installation, and performance, as she investigated the notion of space and its relationship to an individual’s social position within society. Kang appropriated the formal language of the grid used in traditional Korean musical notation as a spatial and social structuring device. The grid is translated and reproduced as standing formations in her works that balance against, hinge on, and even protrude from the wall. In her works, the sculptures in the space appear and are further activated in her videos or performances. Hwamunseok– mats used in traditional Korean court dances – produced from woven sedge by Korean craftswomen. Each of these signals the minimum space an individual is provided in society. As these notations multiply, Kang configured them into a rich visual score suggesting the possibility of a collective consciousness rooted in individual action.
