Atelier Talk | Props, Choreography, and Scores — Suki Seokyeong Kang and the Expanded Field of Painting

Introduction

Following the previous solo exhibition of Miriam Cahn at Winsing Art Place, which examined the relationship between the human body and the world through painting, the Winsing Arts Foundation continues its focus this year on presenting diverse perspectives from female artists working across different mediums. The second exhibition in the series features Korean artist Suki Seokyeong Kang, who expands the language of painting beyond its traditional framework—into textiles, sculpture, installation, video, choreography, and even the exhibition space itself. Within Suki’s exhibition, each work functions like a musical note, coming together to compose a graceful visual symphony in space.

For this occasion, the Foundation has invited Guo Jau-Lan, Adjunct Professor at MFA Program in Taipei University of the Arts, to offer insights into Suki’s practice through the broader lens of contemporary discussions around choreography and musical notation in visual art. Through this expert-led tour, participants are encouraged to consider how the artist reinterprets elements of traditional Korean musical scores through contemporary media, and how her works engage with the body, the viewer, and the surrounding space.
