Lives and works in Seoul, Korea
Nanan Kang(b.1979) has solidly strengthened her influence on the public and popularity through her activities crossing the border between fine arts and commerce. She has been carrying out artistic activities through Flowers, believes that the true meaning of art lies in sharing and communion, and has tried to create contact points in various ways in life. She focuses on the meaning being created, approaching public interest, pleasure, and the concept of a crowd rather than individual existence, not belonging to any particular place but rather to an unspecified group of people. Through the ‘Long Long Flower Project’, she creates paper flowers to symbolize public well-being and good fortune and gives them lasting meaning through visual scent. The whereabouts of the flowers are constantly changing, creating new meanings as they take root in their respective spaces, and the artist expresses eternity through her work.
Her major solo exhibitions include 《Teatime》(2GIL29 Gallery, Seoul, Korea), 《Sitcom The Corn E01. Corn Sweet Corn》(SEOJUNG ART, Seoul/Busan, Korea, 2022), and 《Long Long Time Flower 2021》(Seoul Auction, Seoul, Korea, 2021). Notable group exhibitions he has participated in include 《DEAR CABINET》(SEOJUNG ART, Seoul, Korea, 2023), 《Sarang: Conversation On Love》(Wellcome Collective, New York, USA, 2023), 《A Never Ending Tale》(Baik Art, Jakarta, Indonesia, 2023) and 《Spielraum X Phytolohy》(Museum San, Wonju, Korea, 2021).
