About the show
*Cho Sook-jin: A Passing Place* is the second Korean representative sculptor exhibition at SeMA Nam-Seoul. It looks across more than 40 years of work by Cho Sook-jin, who has developed painting, sculpture, installations, photography, performance and public projects, especially in New York. The free presentation includes approximately 100 works and ends on November 15, 2026.
What to look for
The sequence moves from a prologue, *Witness*, through sections on being and non-being, *Between Spaces* and *Principles of All Things*, to an epilogue about forming one world. Discarded timber and ordinary objects become sculptures; photographs, video documents and an installation made with abandoned fishing gear collected from Gulupdo connect materials, memory and place. New works and previously unseen drawings and archival records supplement key historical pieces.
