Suzy Park
Suzy Park is a Seoul-based independent curator interested in the praxis of friendship, love, religion, and queerness as political and aesthetic allegories of contemporary art. Park’s latest research has focused on abstractness that does not rely on concerns outside of art, as well as abstractness as an attribute of art. She manages the Seoul-based curatorial agency AGENCY RARY and co-operates WESS, a project space in Seoul with 11 more curators.
Suzy Park has curated work at SeMA Bunker; Total Museum of Contemporary Art; and WESS, all in Seoul, among others.
