Yoojoo Kim
A graduate of the prestigious Seoul National University, ceramicist and photographer YoojooKim received her BFA in Ceramic Art, and MFA in Ceramic Design. Her solo exhibitions include “The Present” at Raam Gallery (Seoul, 2004), alongside numerous important group exhibitions and international fairs including the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale (Yeoju, Korea, 2007), ‘Contemporary Korean Ceramics’ at Dublin Craft Trail (Dublin, Ireland, 2014), the 47th IAC member’s Exhibition at Disseny Hub (Barcelona, Spain, 2016), and the Grand Anniversary Exhibition ‘Contemporary Ceramic Art of the World’ at Marianne Heller Gallery (Heidelberg, Germany, 2018).
Kim’s work focuses on the unpredictable, moving aspects of the encounter between different materials; a condition she likens to our interpersonal relationships, which for her are equally transitory and unfixable.
