Emerging Artists

Articles Artist Minkyoo Choi’s ‘Architectural Sculpture’: Where Material and Immaterial, Familiar and Unfamiliar Intersect Minkyoo Choi (b. 1987) works across the boundaries of installation and new media, exploring the points at which the material and the immaterial, the familiar and the unfamiliar intersect. Drawing from the anxiety and sense of dislocation that emerged as he adapted to a new environment after moving to the Middle East with his father during childhood, the artist reassembles unfamiliar visual images of the places he encountered and lived in, along with his personal experiences, into his own form of architectural sculpture that transcends time, space, and culture.
