Young Joon Kwak: RESISTERHOOD
On view through July 27, 2025
Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art
New York, New York
www.leslielohman.org
Young Joon Kwak’s work begins with touch. Molds and imprints of bodies – the artist’s own, and those of friends, loved ones, and collaborators – are dis- and re-assembled, burnished and jeweled. The resulting works bear intimate human traces and yet remain anonymous, moving in and out of recognition. They shimmer in their distortions and imperfections, presenting us with bodies both frozen in time and in perpetual transition: in the midst of youth, aging, gestation, or gender transformation.
