Minouk Lim: Heat of Shadows August 31, 2012

Minouk Lim engages with the arteries of city life--the streets--to create poignant artworks that speak to individual alienation amid Seoul's rapid development. Merging performance, video and documentary, the work of this Korean artist has been shown in increasingly wider circles since she was awarded the Hermes Korea Art Prize in 2007 and the 1st Media Art Korea Award in 2010. For her first in-depth US solo museum exhibition, the Walker presents a trio of Lim's large-scale video installations, which grew out of her interest in capturing lost memories and the collective unconscious.
