Curator
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.

Artist
Okka-Esther Hungerbühler
Artist Okka-Esther Hungerbühler works with both painting and sculpture to explore different themes. In her paintings, Hungerbühler returns to the shape of the „princess dress“, which she uses abstractly, and depicts rooms as colored sketches of interiors. Her sculptures are creature-like, with a highly simple body shape composed of decorative materials.
Okka-Esther Hungerbühler has exhibited work at Kunstverein Dresden, Dresden; Schwartzsche Villa, Berlin; and mumok Wien, Vienna, among others.
