국립현대미술관  서울 National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul 

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul will stage a major retrospective of pioneering multidisciplinary artist Soungui Kim. Curated by Yi Soojung, “All the Rivers Flow into the Sea” brings together around 80 works spanning prints, poems, calligraphy, performance, videos, and installations that reflect the artist’s ongoing interrogations of East and West, tradition and modernity. Additionally, the exhibition will debut Kim’s newest works, such as a robot and a 35mm film investigating humanity and art in a technological age, and items from the artist’s personal archive, including sketches, and materials documenting his encounters with the likes of composer John Cage, video artist Nam June Paik, and French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy.

Exhibition Catalogue
Lazy Clouds explores artist Soun-Gui Kim's world of art from the late 1960s to the present. “Lazy Clouds” was the title of a poem written by the artist, and became the title of her book of poetry, published in France. Though capitalist society criticizes laziness as a sign of insincerity and indolence, Soun-Gui Kim focuses on the creative and philosophical possibilities of laziness. The lazy life she has pursued is full of delightful play and amazing discoveries, in contrast to meaningless busyness that makes us forget the essence of life. Like the clouds, which transform freely and drift along making their own paths in the sky, artist Soun-Gui Kim lives a life that is not confined to formalities, but pioneers new roads of art ahead of her times, creating new paths in untrodden land.
