Suki Seokyeong Kang (b. 1977, Seoul, South Korea; d. 2025, Seoul, South Korea) works in painting, sculpture, video, installation, and performance. Based on traditional Korean art and craft, her work investigates the social codes and conventions that regulate how bodies move through space. Kang often appropriates the formal language of the grid used in jeongganbo, a traditional form of Korean musical notation, as a structuring device, thereby translating sensory experience into physical, material forms. The MCA holds three works by Kang, acquired for the collection following her selection as the winner of the 2022 Emerge season. Recent solo exhibitions include presentations at Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, South Korea; Mudam Luxembourg; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.
