이력
BADA SONG was born in Je-ju Isalnd, Korea, and raised in
Seoul.She is an interdisciplinary artist whose work has expanded
from Sculpture into various modes and media, including drawing,
photography, installation, film, sound and performance.
Based in London, Song’s work translates and repositions Korean
culture, experience and history within a broader dialogue of
global, contemporary art.
Song’s works tend to subject apparently cultural enquiries to
more formal investigation involving materiality, process and
perception. A good example of this approach can be found in her Ta
– iL drawing series, based on the traditional roof tiles which are
disappearing from Korea’s rapidly modernising architecture. Made
with graphite - a material reminiscent of the tiles’ dark ceramic -
these drawings disrupt the reassuring familiarity of their
traditional forms by bringing into question that which the viewer
encounters as their surface, depth and shape. Meanwhile the title
of these works refers to the English word ‘tile’ as, adopted and
pronounced by Korean tongues.
Bada Song has exhibited widely in the UK since graduating from
Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London (BA,
Sculpture) in 2002. She is the winner of a Jerwood Drawing
Prize, 2012.
