Leebinsoyeon
Leebinsoyeon investigates the hypothesis that the intricate dynamics of feminine desire and ambition are continuously enacted within the microcosms of daily life. Her practice is marked by the construction of exaggerated and often fantastical political narratives that oscillate between sincerity and satire, collapsing the boundaries between fiction and reality. Rather than focusing on empowered figures of solidarity, she foregrounds those who deviate from or resist such frameworks—depicting their contradictions, missteps, and ambivalence with both humor and criticality.

Sun Woo
Sun Woo, an immigrant and digital native, explores the complexities of contemporary connection and estrangement by interweaving personal and collective experiences across cultural and technological boundaries. Her practice combines fragmented representations of her own body with personal narratives, shared histories, mythological motifs, landscapes, and digital elements to form uncanny hybrid assemblages. Through this process, she positions the contemporary body as a site of continual transformation, simultaneously subject and object, insider and outsider.

Piper Bangs
Piper Bangs is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. Biomorphic forms in her paintings act out an internal life, evolving restrictive visual metaphors of previous painters—like Renior, who famously remarked that his “goal in painting the nude is to paint them as beautiful fruit”—into multivalent, resilient objects that disrupt the dominant narratives of girlhood, gender, and sex.

Jaeyong Park
Jaeyong Park approaches art not as something that reveals what is already known, but rather what we long to understand. Working across the fields of translation, curating, writing, and organizing, he is the co-founder of Seoul Reading Room and Curating School Seoul, initiatives that aim to create sustainable intersections among art, learning, technology, and society. As a fosterer, he continues to reflect on how diverse artistic practices, however disparate they may seem, remain deeply interconnected.
