Please join us for a talk by South Korean contemporary artist Woopsyang, the artist behind the Space-Out Competition as part of RISING in Melbourne. Woopsyang will discuss how her own struggles of burn out have inspired this on-going global project since 2014. The Space-out Competition creates an artistic space to play, release daily stress, awaken non-consumptive ways of being and consider the city as a giant playground full of possibility.
About the artist Woopsyang
Woopsyang is an artist whose work spans from painting and installation to large-scale performance. She began her career as a painter in 2009. Since 2013, she has been developing a series of participatory performances under the title Urban Play Development Project. The Space-out Competition (2014), the second work in the series, drew attention for its humorous and insightful take on contemporary issues. Her work explores the theme of human anxiety—on a personal level through painting, and on a societal level through participatory performance—often using humour and shared experiences to foster connection.
