Korean Artists Today highlights contemporary artists with global aspirations, featuring the visual research band ikkibawiKrrr, founded in 2021. The group, inspired by the resilience of moss, engages in a variety of artistic mediums including video, sculpture, and sound. Their work emphasizes community, ecology, and the interconnectivity of various elements of human and natural environments. Fieldwork is pivotal for them, as it fosters unexpected interactions and narratives that enrich their artistic practice. The project showcases Korea's vibrant art scene and its potential on the world stage.
"For us, this process goes beyond research or preparation - it's an essential part of the work itself. Unexpected conversations and relationships that arise in the field often lead to stories and connections we could not have imagined beforehand."
"Moss is known to slowly respond to its surroundings along narrow boundaries, subtly transforming the air and soil. We hope our practice and work can also carry such quiet, gradual strength."
