Myeongbeom Kim’s
works and projests contain both man-made and natural elements, with the aim to
accomplish surreal and dream-like spaces. He received his MFA in sculpture from
the School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2008. Previously, he studied
environmental sculpture at University of Seoul, South Korea.
Myeongbeon stated that “I try to examine how my surroundings are
perceived and remembered. To do this, I listen to a whisper from the objects
within my surroundings. I attempt to have an intimate, private dialogue with
the world, trying to concretely present the way things approach me, by using
other mediums.”
"To ask what an objects means to me is like asking what
being I am. I have consistently experienced my surrounding objects from the
perspective of life, growth, and decline, which lends vitality to my
work."
