Sylbee
Kim was born in 1981. She lives and works in Berlin and Seoul.
After
acquiring B.A. at Korea National University of Arts, Seoul, Kim received Meisterschüler
degree at Universität der Künste Berlin in experimental media.
Since 2005 Kim
has been working between Berlin and Seoul employing primarily digital videos
combined with installations, prints and performances. Kim’s work is conceived as a
method to survive the current political, economical and technological
conditions that accelerate
under rampant capitalistic supremacies. Critical
thinking around our current reality is presented through conceptual and spatial
layers of contradictory elements to form a non-linear narrative.
Kim
held solo exhibitions at
Insa Art Space, Space O’New Wall and
Project Space
Sarubia, Seoul and participated to group exhibitions held at
SeMA Biennale Mediacity Seoul, National Museum of
Contemporary Art Seoul, Seoul Museum of Art, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Asia
Art Archive Hong Kong, Goethe-Institut, New York and
Real DMZ Project Cherwon.
Sylbee Kim´s residency in Prague is based on the invitation of curator Christina Gigliotti.
