Read MorePark Kyong Ju (born in 1968, in Seoul) has continued creative activities focusing on the artistic statements of a social minority based on her overall understanding of the fields of humanities and culture and arts. She has explored and actively embraced new media as well as art in various fields, and collaborated with social minorities. She is interested in creating a cultural and artistic environment where she can have a sense of the themes and boundaries of various fields. She is actively engaged in creative activities as the founder and representative of the creative group Salad, which was established in 2009.
In particular, since 1995, Park Kyong Ju has been carrying out various ‘voice sculpture‘ projects to deliver the voices of the socially underprivileged. She has been creating with an interest in women, migrants, and refugees, and has paid attention to making their ‘voices’ and ‘bodies’ the main structures of voice sculptures. The central idea of Park Kyong Ju’s ‘voice sculpture‘ is the voice of the socially underprivileged. In other words, for the sake of social change, the process of ensuring that the voices of the socially underprivileged are articulated well on the social stage, the public realm, through the body of the person concerned is the part that the artist is most focused on. Over the past 30 years, the artist has prodigiously transformed herself while exploring various fields such as visual arts, performing arts, community art, public art, film, multimedia installation, internet media operation, art company operation, and social innovation. It is the result of multidisciplinary study and research for the method and medium in which ‘voice’ can ‘speak’ best.
