Jazoo Yang is a visual artist from South Korea. Her works take a variety of forms, including painting (excretions), installation (excavation), and performance. As an elaboration on her own solitude, a product of the constantly shifting physical and cultural landscape of South Korea’s urban space, Jazoo endeavors to explore notions of history and loss in her work. Influenced by the present-day neglect of social legacy and the ‘culturelessness’ of the modern city, Jazoo aims to salvage that which lies on the fringe of our social consciousness. Traditionally, populations settle in certain areas for extended periods of time. By establishing places of habitation, work and leisure, individuals construct a sense of community and belonging. As such, the interminable demolitions, reconstructions, and renovations of the modern erahave led to a loss of familiarity, alienating individuals within the city that is their home. This trend is not unique to Seoul; the uprooting of one’s physical and cultural history is a global phenomenon that is both felt and observed in major cities the world over. The Ehren아티스트 양자주는 현대 사회에서 피할 수 없는 소외와 고독에 대한 이야기를 회화를 비롯한 다양한 매체를 활용하여 표현한다. 작가는 개인이 느끼는 고독은 고도로 발달한 사회 구조에서 오는 실질적인 질병과도 같은 것으로 보며 이와 같은 상태를 상처 받은 인간 군상, 재개발로 폐허가 된 풍경 안으로 끌어들인다. 거리에서의 페인팅과 설치 작업 및 라이브 페인팅을 통해 예술과 삶, 아티스트와 관객 간의 실천적인 개입을 시도하며 ‘We don’t blame you' ,‘People will save us’와 같은 구호를 통해서 상실된 커뮤니티의 회복을 꿈꾼다. 우현정 Exhibitions - solo 2014 COCOON 2014 展 2015 양자주 개인전 Reborn
