KIMSOOJA
Weaving the World
22 September 2017 – 21 January 2018
Curated By Christiane Meyer-Stoll
Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein is dedicating the Korean-born artist Kimsooja (*1957) a comprehensive solo exhibition.
In her installations, performances, video and photo work, Kimsooja unites fragmentary observations to an entity of encounter for different places and people, where duration and temporality as well as the metaphoric complexity of personal experience, cultural backgrounds and historic references play an essential role. Frequently the works revolve around the subject of textile materials and deal with the activity of sewing. Thus the artist equates her task with that of a needle, through which different parts, that is, different cultures and standpoints are brought together. Here a linear perception of time recedes into the background. Kimsooja’s video installations are especially characterized by a timelessness where the present and past merge into each other.
