Hyungjin Park

This is an artist’s observation of the Songhyeondong lot when it was hidden by the tall stone wall. Songhyeon(松峴), named after its pine trees, was a hill located next to Gyeongbokgung Palace; the land ownership changed many times and was abandoned indefinitely. Hyungjin Park brings the reeds and grasses that grew on the abandoned lot through the repetition of lines. The work encourages us to think about the future of ‘Land Urbanism’ through Park’s artwork at Songhyeondong 48-1, which everyone now owns.

Artist Hyungjin Park draws to record the scenery she encounters every day. Park received a bachelor's, master's degree, and Ph.D. at Sungshin Women's University Oriental Painting Department. She has held seven solo exhibitions, including 'Other Times Another Time'(Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, Ansan, 2022), 'Crow and Magpie'(Sahngup Gallery, Euljiro, 2022), and 'An Empty Space Sitting Green'(Onground, Seoul, 2019). Park also participated in various group exhibitions, including 'DMZ Exhibition: Check Point'(Camp Greaves, Paju, 2023), 'Contourless'(West Bundle Art Center, Shanghai, 2022), and (Mokpo, 2021), and selected for 'Arko Creative Academy,' 'Seoul Foundation for Art and Culture Arts Support,' 'OCI Art Museum Open Studio,' 'Yangju Art Museum Artist Studio,' ' Seoul Art Space Geumcheon.'
